The 5th Recruiting Battalion, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is responsible for enlisting new Soldiers to serve in the active Army and the Army Reserve. The battalion is one of seven in the 5th U.S. Army Recruiting Brigade, U.S. Army Recruiting Command.

The battalion's area of operations includes all of Arizona and Northern New Mexico. It consists of six recruiting companies: Phoenix West, Phoenix Central, Phoenix North, Tempe, Tucson, and Albuquerque that operate 39 recruiting stations.

Historically, the battalion has been among the top achievers in the U.S. Army Recruiting Command. Active Army enlistments total more than 2,500 annually, while Army Reserve enlistments are about 600. The goal, however, is more than numbers. The focus is on recruiting quality youth to provide the strength for today's Army. Our slogan is "From the Ashes."
