RECRUITING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Hometown Recruiter Assistance Program (HRAP)

USAREC is not accepting any HRAPs during the holiday exodus.

The Hometown Recruiter Assistance Program (HRAP) allows enlisted Soldiers who have recently completed Advanced Individual Training (AIT), One Station Unit Training (OSUT) or Army Civilian Acquired Skills Training (ACASP) to return to their hometowns on permissive TDY for up to 14 days to assist the local recruiters by sharing their Army training experiences with family, friends, high school classmates, Future Soldiers, veterans, and community leaders.

HRAP Soldiers report to the recruiting station and accompany recruiters throughout the community to assist in obtaining quality referrals for enlistment.

All permanent party Soldiers may apply for HRAP by submitting a DA Form 31, Request and Authority for Leave, through their chain of command. Additionally, officers may also volunteer for HRAP duty in their hometowns or areas in which they are familiar, such as where they attended college.

Active Duty Operational Support, Reserve Component (ADOS-RC)

Army Reserve Soldiers of all ranks can support local recruiters to generate leads that will result in Army Reserve enlistments through the Active Duty Operational Support, Reserve Component program (ADOS-RC, previously called ADSW).

Reserve Soldiers typically serve five to 14 days supporting recruiters within a 50-mile radius of their residence or Reserve Troop Program Unit (TPU).

RECRUITING DUTY

Soldiers may volunteer for duty as an Army Recruiter

The Army is seeking Soldiers from Specialist through Sergeant First Class interested in becoming recruiters.

The rewards for Recruiters are many. Soldiers who volunteer for recruiting duty have the option of selecting their priority of assignments under the assignment incentive program. They first attend the Army Recruiter Course at Fort Jackson, S.C. The 53-day course has five major segments: introduction to recruiting, management, eligibility, prospecting and sales techniques, and communication skills.

Following the Recruiter Course is a six-month non-rated new recruiter program, during which the new recruiters sharpen the skills they learned in the course.

If you volunteer and are selected to become an Army Recruiter, you will be joining a team of professionals dedicated to manning today's Army in the image of what the Army's leadership wants the Army to be. You will become an important member of the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) family, and your job will require 110 percent of your energies.
