experience as well. Varied


backgrounds and experiences bring inherently different perspectives and outlooks, which are vital to achieving innovative and enduring solutions to complex problems.


An important part of ensuring that we maintain the great technical advantage our Army enjoys is to continue devel- oping a pipeline of talent that includes STEM. We have an obligation to build our STEM talent pool and inspire the next-generation workforce to consider the Army as an employer based on the challenging and rewarding work we do. Trough our recruitment, retention and development efforts, we can effect change and succeed at this goal.
