Thoughts on non-deployers and what should be done?
Note: There are currently about 50,000 non-deployable Soldiers (equates to about three entire Army divisions).
“If you will not or cannot fight and win, then there’s no place for you in the Army,” SMA Dailey said, “We have to become unemotional about this. We have a job to do.”
The biggest problem in the Army today is Soldiers who are non-deployable, and that’s having a direct impact on readiness, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey said. He said this construct is unsustainable in the complex operational environment that exits today.
He’s proposing to the Army’s chief of staff that in the future, there should be a box to check on the Soldier’s evaluation form, indicating if that Soldier is deployable.
Soldiers with long-term medical profiles would be critically evaluated against their ability to recover and be deployable if called, under his proposal.

SMA newest issue: non-deployable Soldiers. Have you read it?
So SMA Daily comes up and tackles the difficult issue, non-deployable status service members across the army.
He may be now sitting as the senior enlistedman of the Army. Often viewed as a semi-political role. Especially recently. But thankfully it's true what they say; that infantry mindset doesn't die.
Quick hits;
- SMA tackles the fact that our service is bursting with soldiers who cannot deploy. He makes the hard call and one people don't like voice. It's dead weight on our army.
This one I cannot support more. Especially working in medicine and currently in a hospital setting is the drain of non deployable soldier. I think we (obviously) need to handle any issues they are having (mental/medical) set them up to continue the care on the civilian side, and show them the door. This is not a disrepect to the service member or to sacrifices many servicemembers have made that led them to becoming medically non-deployable.
Secondly he wants to make moves to support and enable our leaders in the ranks that are combat leaders; the most effective and necessary type I think our Army creates.
Also; let us never forget. Black socks in PTs.
Read for yourself.
