FORT BLISS, Texas — The U.S. Army Reserve Command and 85th Support Command senior enlisted advisers recently spent some one-on-one time with Army Reserve Soldiers with the 5th Armored Brigade.

Command Sgt. Maj. Luther Thomas Jr., USARC command sergeant major, discussed Operation Full Court Press, a deliberate operation that focuses on USAR leaders at every level helping to increase accessions, reduce controllable Soldier losses, increase promotions to sergeant and staff sergeant and improve the sponsorship program.

While Thomas addressed big picture Army Reserve topics, Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Greene, 85th Support Command senior enlisted adviser, focused on Soldier issues such as the Noncommissioned Officer Education System and NCO promotions.
