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, 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. 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.
Accomplish every assigned mission with a powerful recruiting TEAM which dominates all markets while encompassing the Warrior Spirit. (Warrior Spirit = caring for people, Army values, clear vision & purpose.) Cover our assigned Area of Operations with the Army Story, professional advantages, belief in self, and personal courage.
The area of operation for Portland Battalion remained the same for many years, but expanded significantly in 1992 with the addition of Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and Micronesia. Currently, the battalion is comprised of four companies and one detachment: Eugene Company, Vancouver Company, Mount Hood Company, Honolulu Company, and Guam Company.
As part of the 6th Recruiting Brigade, we represent the United States Army Recruiting Command from southwest Washington State to southern Oregon, and from central Oregon to South Korea. Our area of operation covers approximately 66,000 square miles, including Hawaii, South Korea, Japan, American Samoa, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The Portland Battalion Headquarters is located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Portland sits astride the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette river valleys, roughly 50 miles from Mt. Hood.
