In 1998, the Army changed its system from a fixed enlistment contract to indefinite reenlistment for its senior enlisted force. The goal was to recognize senior NCOs as career soldiers and increase their prestige. This was achieved by eliminating the reenlistment requirement in the latter half of the NCO's career and by placing senior NCOs on the same indefinite service contract as officers. Over 90 percent of soldiers with a rank of E-6 or higher and with ten or more years of service remain in the Army until retirement. The indefinite reenlistment policy requires all soldiers reaching the rank of E-6 with ten years of service to reenlist indefinitely. Their new separation date becomes either the year they are required to leave the service if not promoted or their retirement date, whichever occurs first. Soldiers may choose to separate if they have met all other service obligations through moves, schooling, retraining, or deployment. This program mirrors the management of officers and eliminates the need for career NCOs to repeatedly fill out reenlistment paperwork. Today, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Cameron Arms reclassified as a Human Intelligence Collector, opting to remain in service.
