MISSION

To deliver comprehensive operational human resources services that build and sustain a highly skilled, mission-ready civilian workforce in support of national defense. Grounded in principles of efficiency, discipline, and lean operations, CHRA drives the strategic optimization and modernization of civilian human resources to meet the evolving needs of the force.

VISION

The leading provider of effective, timely, and innovative human resources services and systems that deliver results for the Army's Civilian Corps and the broader Department of War civilian workforce- empowering a more lethal, ready, and capable force in support of national defense through strategic optimization and advanced digital transformation, and modernization of civilian human resources.

HISTORY

Lt. Gen. John M. Le Moyne, the Deputy Chief of Staff G-1, formally inaugurated CHRA on Oct. 5, 2003.

The new agency was a result of the integration of the Civilian Training, Education and Development System, Civilian Personnel Field Activity, Civilian Personnel Advisory Centers, overseas Civilian Personnel Operations Centers and the Civilian Personnel Operations Management Agency. CHRA is part of the Department of Army leadership's vision to streamline headquarters, create more agile and responsive staffs, reduce layers of review and approval, focus on mission, and transform the Army. The establishment of CHRA enabled the Army to enhance quality of service provided to its civilian employees and support the Army's vision for Transformation.

As a Direct Reporting Unit (DRU) under the Department of Army G-1, CHRA is part of the Army's initiative to mold human resources functions into a corporate structure, enabling equitable, efficient and effective management of Army civilians worldwide. The Agency manages all aspects of the human resources lifecycle for civilians – from recruiting to retirement. CHRA serves appropriated fund, non-appropriated fund and local national civilian employees.
