Army Begins Talent Panels to Reduce Manned Aviation Jobs
The Army has started an effort to relocate 6,500 junior officers and warrant officers from aviation, citing they are no longer needed in the field.
According to aviation officials, the goal is to achieve this target without forcing many troops out of the service.
Clair Gill, commander of the Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker, Alabama, stated that talent panels, launched this month, aim to keep decision-making power with the soldiers and would not immediately lead to involuntary transfers or reductions.
The Army hopes to reach its target through these talent panels, which began this month.
