The United States Army Recruiting Command and its Soldiers, Families, Civilians and Contractors are the Army's trusted Ambassadors to the American people, as we "Provide the Strength" from the 1600 plus recruiting stations nationwide and overseas.
Recruiting is one of the most critical jobs in the Army and it's an extremely important mission. USAREC is a geographically dispersed unit, located throughout the 48 continental states, Hawaii, Alaska, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Europe, Guam, Saipan, Japan and Korea.
Due to the geographical disbursement of the units within USAREC, Soldiers and Family members may find themselves living many miles from a military installation. For some, transitioning into a "civilian" community environment can be difficult.
USAREC stands proud knowing we have Soldiers and Families like you who are up for a challenge. Ensuring the quality of life for our Soldiers, Families, Civilians, and Contractors is as important as the annual mission. Taking care of each other only makes us stronger. As a team --- with Soldiers, Families, Civilians, and Contractor's hand-in-hand --- we will strive daily to achieve success. We pledge to give you all we have to ensure your time in USAREC is nothing short of rewarding.

The Albany Recruiting Battalion is located in Watervliet, NY on the Watervliet Arsenal.
