SFC Anabel Cepero — Fri, 19 Feb 2016 06:53:03 -0500

Do you agree with the priorities of 2016 or do you believe that there are other priorities far more important that the SMA should concentrate on?

If you were the SMA what would some of your priorities be for 2016?

1. Higher readiness achieved with fewer non-deployable soldiers.

2. Incentive pay for deploying soldiers

3. Right-sizing the Army.

4. Expand Tuition Assistance for credentialing opportunities.

5. Grow Army University.

6. Successful integration of women into combat jobs.

#5 Easily. Any improvement in education is an investment in the force overall...

The Army badly needs to address and get under control the proliferation of non-deployable profiles and the bottlenecks in getting them resolved. There are Soldiers in the WTU for years going to appointments. If they need that, great. The Army needs to ensure that they are taken care of. However, those thousands of Soldiers count against end strength in an age of downsizing. It is important that if the Soldier is not going to be a deployable asset going forward, that they be transitioned into the VA system in a timely manner.

Higher readiness achieved with fewer non-deployable soldiers and right-sizing the force are important to me.
