HISTORY

The 1st Armored Division, nicknamed "Old Ironsides," is the oldest, most recognizable armor division in the United States Army. As part of the mechanization of the U.S. Army and the buildup for World War II, cavalry and reconnaissance units were brought together to form the 1st Armored Division, July 15, 1940, at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

On May 11, 1942, the 1st Armored Division left the U.S. and five days later were training in Northern Ireland. On Oct. 29, 1942, Old Ironsides moved to England to depart for North Africa.

The 1st Armored Division's first contact with an enemy was as part of the Allied invasion of North Africa, Operation Torch, Nov. 8, 1942. The Allies received unexpected resistance from Vichy-French units. Old Ironsides then advanced toward Tunisia. In January 1943, Old Ironsides, as part of II Corps, received the mission of defending central Tunisia against an Axis counterattack. After three months, the Allies could finally claim victory in North Africa. Old Ironsides then moved to Naples, Italy, Oct. 28, 1943, to support the Allied effort there.

In June 1945, Old Ironsides moved to Germany as part of the occupying force. 1st Armored Division deactivated, April 25, 1946. Almost five years later, on March 7, 1951, 1st Armored Division reactivated at Fort Hood, Texas.

The 1st Armored Division moved to Germany in 1971, and based in the West German city of Ansbach. The division remained in Germany for the next 20 years as part of the American forces committed to a NATO defense of Europe.

In November 1990, Old Ironsides deployed 17,400 Soldiers to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Desert Shield. On Feb. 24, 1991, the 1st Armored Division crossed into Iraq to begin Operation Desert Storm as the leading unit in VII Corps' main flanking attack.

The 1st Armored Division deployed twice between 1995 and 1999. The first deployment, in 1995, sent the Iron Soldiers to Bosnia-Herzegovina in support of Operation Joint Endeavor. Four years later, 1st Armored Division received orders to become part of Operation Allied Force in Albania and Operation Joint Guardian in Kosovo.

On March 4, 2003, 1st Armored Division received orders to participate in the global war on terrorism. By April 15, the Iron Soldiers moved out to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. Task Force 1st Armored Division was the largest division-based task force in U.S. Army history. Brigade Combat Teams from 1st Armored Division have deployed multiple times since 2003 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn and Operation Enduring Freedom.

In 2005, the Base Realignment and Closure commission determined the 1st Armored Division should leave their home bases in Germany and move to Fort Bliss, Texas. The division officially uncased its colors at Fort Bliss, May 13, 2011.

In June 2017, the 1st Armored Division Headquarters and the Division Artillery Headquarters deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. The division headquarters assumed command of the Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command and with coalition and Iraqi partnered forces made enormous progress denying ISIS aspirations. During the nine-month deployment, the Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command, led by the 1st Armored Division, defeated insurgent counterattacks, reclaimed thousands of square kilometers and significantly weakened the ISIS terror infrastructure in Iraq. The CJFLCC helped set the conditions for the Government of Iraq to announce the liberation of Iraq from ISIS in December 2017. The 1st Armored Division Headquarters and Division Artillery redeployed to Fort Bliss in March 2018.

Precision Retention Frequently Asked Questions

What is Precision Retention?

Precision Retention is designed to sustain unit readiness and force alignment through the reenlistment and reclassification of Soldiers. Precision Retention is broken down into two parts:

  • Overages: This identifies Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) that are over strength and require reclassification out of the MOS to achieve force alignment across the Army.
  • Shortages: This identifies MOSs that are under strength and offers Soldiers promotion opportunities and monetary incentives for reclassification into an MOS.

 

I am not in my reenlistment window; can I still change my MOS under Precision Retention?

  • Yes! Soldiers not in their reenlistment window, as defined by Army G-1 Retention, are highly encouraged to submit voluntary reclassification requests with the Servicing Career Counselor.

Do I keep my promotable status in the new MOS?

  • Yes! You will keep your promotable status when you reclass to your new MOS.

What happens if I get promoted in my MOS and am no longer Precision Retention?

  • If your skill level in your current MOS is not identified as Precision Retention, you may stay in your current MOS. See your Servicing Career Counselor for individual cases.

I'm currently on a temporary profile, can I reclass?

  • Retention cannot schedule Soldiers to attend training while on a temporary profile.

Can I volunteer for Drill or Recruiting while my MOS is identified as Precision Retention?

  • You are unlikely to be selected for a broadening assignment while identified as Precision Retention. If you are selected for a broadening assignment and need to meet a Service Remaining Requirement, you must be processed under Precision Retention guidelines.

I am a 19D, what are my reclassification options?

  • All 19D1 and 19D2 Soldiers may reclassify into MOSs 19C and 19K with no training required. The Chief of Armor has waived the formal training requirement for this reclassification. Airborne qualified Soldiers serving in MOSs 19D1 and 19D2 (non-promotable SGTs only) are eligible to reclassify into MOS 11B with no training required. Qualified Soldiers will be placed on assignment to an Airborne position upon reclassification to 11B. For any MOSs not listed above, see your Servicing Career Counselor.

I am a 31B, what are my reclassification options?

  • All soldiers with the 31B1 or 31B2 designation who hold the Additional Skill Identifiers (ASIs) D7, V5, or Q9 are eligible to reenlist or extend their service as a 31B. If a soldier does not possess any of these qualifying ASIs, they are required to submit a request for reclassification into a new MOS. For this process, they should consult with their Servicing Career Counselor.

What does Precision Retention mean?

MOSs and skill levels listed on the MILPER (24-099) are over critical strength.

  • SMs in over strength MOSs who are in their reenlistment window (12 months from ETS) will have their retention options restricted and require the Career Counselor to send a hotline to HRC to approve each SM’s request.
  • SMs who are not in the reenlistment window are encouraged (not required) to initiate voluntary reclassification.

How long does the request take to process?

  • Seven days from the time the Career Counselor submits the hotline to HRC. Once approved, the SM must take action within seven days, or the approval will be revoked.

How does this affect me?

  • If you are in an MOS and skill level listed on the Precision Retention MILPER message, then you should start considering reclassing into another MOS. If you do not want to reclass then be prepared for restrictions in choice of duty station, assignment, promotion, and progression. Predictability will be reestablished once the Army reaches its desired strengths by MOS and grade.

Is this temporary?

  • Yes, without an end date. The Army is changing its structure, so the MOSs and skill-levels need to be evaluated and aligned with the proposed structure. The MOSs remain on the Precision Retention MILPER until the desired end-strength is met.

What does this mean for promotions?

  • Promotions will be limited due to the reduction in authorizations. Limitations will be lifted once force misalignment has been corrected. Reclassification can help with promotion, progression, and bonuses!

Do I have to reclass right now?

It depends on if you are in your reenlistment window (12 months from ETS):

  • If you ARE in your reenlistment window, then you must include 2-3 MOSs that you would be willing to reclass to in your retention request. But you can still request other retention options as an exception on the hotline (like extensions or Regular Army Reenlistment option). HRC will take your preferences into consideration.
  • If you ARE NOT in your reenlistment window, you are encouraged (not required) to initiate voluntary reclassification.

What if I do not want to reclass?

  • You can still request other retention options as an exception on the hotline (extensions or Regular Army Reenlistment Option), but you also must still provide 2-3 MOSs you would be willing to reclass into. HRC will take your preferences into consideration.

What if I do not like HRC’s decision?

  • You have three business days to sign a DA 4856 Counseling declining to take action, the Career Counselor will submit that to HRC. Subsequent requests for other actions can still be submitted.

Will I be forced to reclass against my will?

  • If you do not volunteer to reclass now, you may be involuntarily reclassed by HRC in accordance with the needs of the Army.

Do SFCs still have to request reclassification?

It depends if you are in your reenlistment window (12 months from ETS):

  • If you ARE in the reenlistment window, you must provide 2-3 MOSs you’d be willing to reclass to. But you can still request other retention options as an exception on the hotline (extensions or Regular Army Reenlistment Option). HRC will take your preferences into consideration. Some SSGs and SFCs will remain in their MOS due to limited reclassification opportunities at their grade and time in service. However, all should seek opportunities in another career field.
  • If you ARE NOT in your reenlistment window, you’re encouraged (not required) to initiate voluntary reclassification.

If I am eligible to go indef, do I still have to reclass?

  • You still must provide 2-3 MOSs you would be willing to reclass into. But you can also request to stay in your MOS. HRC will take your preferences into consideration. Soldiers who are eligible to reenlist indef are still considered for voluntary or DA directed reclassification in conjunction with the indefinite reenlistment.

I am already indef, do I still have to reclass?

  • You are encouraged (not required) to initiate voluntary reclassification.

What if I do not qualify for the MOS I want? Can I get a waiver because I am Precision Retention?

  • Waivers do not depend on Precision Retention. If you do not qualify for an MOS, only the MOS Proponent can grant a waiver for the disqualification (the MOS Proponent is different from the branch manager). The MOS Proponent is normally located at the MOS school and determines the minimum qualifications for an MOS. See your Career Counselor if you need a waiver.

What about Officers?

  • Precision Retention is an enlisted program. Officers must contact their component Officer Career Manager or their chain of command for more information.

What are the decisions that HRC will render for each request?

  • Approve reenlistment in current MOS for Regular Army Reenlistment option, approve reenlistment into requested MOS or DA directed reclassification, approve extension of enlistment, or deny reenlistment. (IAW the MILPER MSG). Reenlistments will only be approved for Regular Army and Army Training Reenlistment option.

Will I be subject to mandatory reclassification, if so, when?

  • IAW the Precision Retention MILPER Message, Soldiers who do not volunteer for Reclassification or reclassify through their reenlistment option may be reclassified by HRC in accordance with the needs of the Army.

Why can a Soldier not get reenlistment options if retained in their PMOS?

  • Movement and stabilization options restrict HRC from processing mandatory reclassification if force alignment requirements are not achieved. First-term Soldiers, if retained in their PMOS will only be offered 24 months Regular Army to change from first-termer to career status for assignment purposes IAW AR 614-200. Soldiers who qualify for Career Status (indef) will only be offered INDEF as their reenlistment option; however, they may be directed to reclassify in conjunction with the reenlistment either by their request to reclass, or by HRC Direction.
