New Army initiative brings changes to Fort Hood
By: Chris Cheng
FORT HOOD -- Fort Hood soldiers will find it harder to re-enlist in the Army due to a new initiative.
With military budget cuts looming, the Army is addressing the downsizing with Army Directive 2012-03.
The retention initiative went into effect March 1, the same day the re-enlistment window opens for soldiers whose service contract ends in the 2013 fiscal year. The directive places additional restrictions for some mid-grade noncommissioned officers to re-enlist.
"The time is now to be educating and preparing our soldiers for the future," said Colonel William Mcrae.
Col. Mcrae Is in charge of the 41st Fire Brigade on Fort Hood. It will be his task to cut the soldiers who will not meet the new strict standards.
