Some Army officers<\/a> will be shuttled into new job specialties or even transferred to a different service as certain jobs are eliminated<\/a>, Military Times has learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restructuring cuts<\/a> come on the heels of a service-wide officer career field review conducted over the last 10 months, Brig. Gen. Gregory Johnson, the Army\u2019s director of Personnel Management<\/a>, said in an interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer functional areas, or career fields<\/a>, that are affected include Force Management, Functional Area 50; Acquisitions, Functional Area 51; Simulations Operations, Functional Area 57; Strategy, Functional Area 59; and Marketing, Functional Area 58.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire officer populations of these job specialties make up \u201ca couple thousand\u201d soldiers, Johnson said. The Army declined to say how many positions were being eliminated, as some of those decisions are still being made. Sources have said, though, that some communities may be shrinking by as much as half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson said affected officers had been notified and had three years to make moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 36-month transition plan gives a lot of opportunity for officers to make choices inside the Army. This is not a forced reduction at all,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThis is, we\u2019re balancing these specialties, tied to what we see is needed for the operating environment. And there\u2019ll be a lot of options.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving these changes, Johnson said, is an officer review process that has long existed in the Army, but hasn\u2019t taken place since the early 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really about aligning our officer career paths and officer talent with the emerging needs of a dynamic and complex environment that\u2019s dominated by more technology and innovation and other capabilities that\u2019s moving really rapidly,\u201d Johnson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSenior leaders \u2026 see the greatest risk to us is just inaction, staying with the status quo, and not really reviewing ourselves and then updating to meet the needs of what we see in that changing operational environment,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, the ability to evolve is really the key here for us, and that\u2019s what led to the review.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two functional areas were flagged for growth in the process: Space Operations, Functional Area 40; and Operations Research\/System Analysis, Functional Area 49.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army\u2019s interest in building out its space operations officer cadre comes as the Space Force moves to double in size due to growing interest and needs in the space domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the operations research\/systems analysis field, Johnson noted it contains significant technological growth areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere really are smart analytic and data folks emerging, AI capabilities that are in that functional area,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s fluid [but] we know that they\u2019ll grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, he said, the downsizing in select functional areas comes alongside an Army strategy to make jobs more permeable, allowing officers to shift into different areas and specialties more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPart of the review was to say, \u2018Hey, we could probably be a little more fluid there with some of our functional areas.\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cYou can maybe let folks go in a little early, maybe even later in a career. \u2026 So, that idea of permeability, in and out of those branches, is something that this review landed at as a recommendation that we\u2019ll put into motion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This aligns with an expansion of the Army\u2019s Voluntary Transfer Incentive Program pilot, announced in October<\/a>, that will allow officers to switch job fields earlier in their careers \u2014 an acknowledgement that for many younger soldiers, flexibility is a more powerful retention incentive than cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, it appears inevitable that at least some officers will be making a transition they don\u2019t prefer or opting for retirement earlier than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe proponent leads for each of the functional areas have been holding town halls over the last couple of months,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThere\u2019ll be several more town halls by each functional area over the next coming months as well, which will really lay down the reasoning again for why the Army conducted the review and the importance of where we landed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town halls will lay out options for affected officers, including changing job specialties, moving to another military branch or retiring, if eligible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those eager to stay within their field, Johnson said there will be some opportunities to do so, although it\u2019s not clear how many or what that will look like. He emphasized that the 36-month \u201cramp\u201d was intended to make the transition as smooth as possible for soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At an Association of the United States Army event in January, Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Randy George acknowledged that reducing communities was more difficult than growing and said the work of developing a more flexible force continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re also trying to do is figure out permeability with people; when they can move,\u201d George said. \u201cLet\u2019s say somebody\u2019s a battalion commander. Typically everybody would say, \u2018Hey, you missed your window. You can\u2019t do this.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Army leaders, however, wanted to recognize \u201csignificant talents\u201d in the force, he added, with \u201cthe ability to … go back and forth a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
