- Summary:
- "The British Regimental System from 1868 to 1919 offers insights for recruiting a professional, globally committed US Army as it transitions between periods of small war, peace, and large-scale conflict. The regimental system regionally aligned units, built community connections, and ensured stability for soldiers. The system's inherent stability enabled a unique combination of unit culture and community connections which bridged knowledge, trust, and identity gaps despite a difficult recruiting environment that was in many ways similar to what the United States faced in 2022. Despite strong labor competition, physically unhealthy recruits, and poor public perception of service, the British were able to meet global commitments, reorganize for large-scale conflict, and mobilize to win a world war. The US Army would benefit from adopting elements of this system at the division level, including home divisions, divisional recruiting teams, and more varied terms of service"-- Provided by publisher.
