Ɣ One Army School System. In an effort to standardize professional education across the Regiment, USACBRNS—in conjunction with the U.S. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard—is launching the TRADOC One Army School System Implementation Plan well ahead of the TRADOC-designated 1 October 2015 target date. This initiative will standardize programs of instruction for professional courses (Military Occupational Specialty– Transition, Advanced Leader Course, Senior Leader Course); allow for the sharing of resources (instructors and facilities) among the components; and enable Soldiers from all components throughout the Regiment to receive a standardized, professional education. Ɣ CBRN Force Design Update. Throughout the past 18 months, USACBRNS—in conjunction with MSCoE—developed a CBRN Force Design Update that, if approved, will modify the Regiment's structure to address gaps in our capacity to execute hazard assessments and characterizations during decisive actions. Highlights of the Force Design Update include increasing the number of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explo- sives (CBRNE) (formerly technical escort) companies from six to 11 and standardizing the design of battalion headquarters across the Regular Army and Reserve Components. The Force Design Update is currently being staffed worldwide and is tentatively scheduled to be presented to the vice chief of staff of the Army for a deci- sion in November 2012. For questions or further details, contact Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Kugel at or Mr. Larry Lazo at .

The Army is shrinking and becoming more selective in all areas, including the areas of reenlistment, education, promotion, and nominative assignments.
