WASHINGTON – The Career Program 26 – Manpower and Force Management Proponency Office completed a series of road shows to the U.S. Army Force Management Agency during the month of June.
“As force managers, it important to see and hear from the career program leadership. It helps to understand the state of the program, visions, direction, actions and opportunities that affect what the workforce does. Not only day to day but also tomorrow and the future,” said Col. Keith M. Rivers, U.S. Army Force Management Support Agency deputy commander. “It provides an opportunity for the workforce to not only receive information but to ask questions and interact with those of us who shape factors that could determine all aspects of a career from recruitment to retirement.”
CP26 visited Fort Belvoir and Fort Lee, Virginia, and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to present the road show and answer questions from civilian and military staff about Army manpower.
The U.S. Army Force Management Support Agency (USAFMSA) develops, produces, maintains, updates and distributes the Army's organizational requirements and authorization documents and essential force management data. USAFMSA provides force management analytical, systems automation and educational support to the force management community to enable the Army to organize, man, train, equip, sustain, station, mobilize and deploy the force.
The CP26 road show focused on manpower and force manager’s role as resource managers. This role is critical as the Army continue to work through pre-planned manpower reductions.
“The Army is reducing its ranks,” said Beryl Hancock, Chief, Manpower Policy, Plans and Program and Chief of the CP26 Proponency Office. “In order to meet this reduction while maintaining a strong force is a challenge for manpower and force managers.”
The CP26 road show is designed to reach out to various commands and installations across the Army in order to inform and engage the manpower and force management community. This allows the CP26 Proponecy Office to share information and to gather input from the field while maintaining a high professional standard of manpower and force managers.
“My intent is to continue visits and direct communications with the CP26 Proponency Office semi-annual if not quarterly,” said Rivers. “Manpower and force managers are essential players. Their work drives or has a touch point in all the Army's Title 10 functions.”
CP26 provides a professional cadre of manpower and force management professionals to design, develop and resource the Army’s operating and generating forces in support of the National Military Strategy. It is one of the Army’s centrally managed civilian career programs and is composed primarily of Management Analysts who work in one or more of the nine manpower and force management functional areas.
