Army Officer, Specialty Branch Manager
CurrentI am the Specialty Branch Strength Manager, and I serve as the primary Army Medical Department (AMEDD), Chaplain, and Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) recruiter and retainer for the State. I work closely with Branch Chiefs to establish priorities for recruiting Specialty Branch officers. I identify and interview potential candidates for the Specialty Corps and then forward this information to the Officer Strength Manager. My responsibilities also include conducting briefings and providing information on the processes and benefits of Army Medical Department programs (AMEDD), as well as identifying officer vacancies and developing recruitment plans to fill them.In terms of procurement programs, I am responsible for creating weekly, monthly, and quarterly status reports on our activities and their results. To find potential recruits, I prospect for leads through phone calls, mail-outs, and site visits to medical and law schools within the State. I also process applicant packets in a timely manner and aim to present a positive image of the Army National Guard to prospective officer recruits.
