Opportunities

The strength of the Army lies not only in numbers but also in the individual Soldier. Because no matter what job they have or rank they hold, there is nothing stronger than a U.S. Army Soldier. The Army consists of more than 675,000 Soldiers: 488,000 on Active Duty, ready to respond immediately to any mission; 189,000 in the Army Reserve, who can be rapidly mobilized when their skills are needed in times of national emergency or global conflict.

There is no limit to the opportunities in the Army, so there’s no limit to what you can learn and achieve. The Army strengthens you, and your future, with expert training in one of over 150 different jobs for Soldiers on Active Duty and over 120 in the Army Reserve.

From working with computers to assisting physicians to fixing helicopters, there’s an Army job right for you - providing the experience that will give you an edge over those in the civilian world. The Army also offers you money for college and the chance to interview with America’s top corporations.

Being a Soldier means you’re always learning. In the Army, you can take advantage of a long list of job- and leadership-training opportunities giving you the skills to succeed in the Army and in life. And the strength not only to follow but also to lead. Because there are over 150 Army jobs, every Soldier plays an important part in the Army’s success.

As a Soldier in the U.S. Army, you have several options when you join. No matter which options you choose, you're showing your commitment to your country and yourself - and you'll be an important part of the world's most powerful Army.

Soldiers enlisting for Active Duty will serve at one of the many Army Posts located throughout the U.S. and abroad. Those in the Army Reserve will serve at a Post or Reserve Center closer to home.

 

COMPENSATION

The training and salary you get as a Soldier are only some of the ways the Army strengthens you for tomorrow. The Army also offers money for education, comprehensive health care, generous vacation time, family services and support groups, special pay for special duties, and cash allowances to cover the cost of living.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently estimated that the average Active Duty service member received a compensation package worth $99,000. Non-cash compensation represents almost 60 percent of this package. Non-cash compensation includes health care, retirement pay, childcare and free or subsidized food, housing and education. Coupled with regular cash compensation, this adds up to attractive compensation for Soldiers.
