USAREC, Columbia Recruiting Battalion

The U.S. Army Recruiting Command and its soldiers, families, civilians and contractors are the Army’s trusted ambassadors to the American people. We “provide the strength” from the 1,400-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, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Europe, Guam, Saipan, Japan and Korea.

Due to the geographical dispersal of the units within USAREC, soldiers and families may find themselves living many miles from a military installation and for some, transitioning into a civilian community 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 contractors 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.

Columbia Recruiting Battalion headquarters is located on Fort Jackson at 2340 Century Division Avenue.

Subordinate organizations are located throughout the state of South Carolina, western North Carolina and the counties surrounding and including Augusta, Georgia. There are six recruiting companies within the battalion with company headquarters in Columbia, Greenville, Florence and Charleston, South Carolina; Augusta, Georgia; and Asheville, North Carolina.
