Welcome to the New York City Recruiting Battalion!

On behalf of the Soldiers and Civilians of the New York City Recruiting Battalion, I want to welcome you to our organization. EMPIRE! The New York City Recruiting Battalion prides itself on having the finest noncommissioned officers in the Army.  Our most successful Recruiting NCOs are those who recognize and embrace the fact that they are Soldiers first who live the Army Values and embody the Soldiers Creed and Warrior Ethos.

Recognized as the best battalion in 1st Recruiting Brigade for FY18 and FY19, you are joining a winning team dedicated to the mission and taking care of families.  We stand as professional Soldiers and Civilians in America’s Army, the finest in the world. We stand proud as symbols of the Army’s strength. We share the Army Story with integrity. We embrace the challenges, rewards, and excitement that serving New York City and USAREC entails.

My unchanging priorities are: Recruiting Quality Future Soldiers; Building and Maintaining Sustainable Relationships within the NYC and Long Island Communities; and Professional Development of all members of Team Empire. These priorities form the foundation for all that we do, how we interact as a unit with one another, and how we interact with the local community that we are a part of.  You, like so many of the Soldiers on our team, will have the opportunity to have a tremendous impact within your area of responsibility, potentially on the lives of hundreds of people that you will encounter on your tour.

New York City and the surrounding areas are filled with great opportunities for Soldiers and Families. The area’s museums, restaurants, shops and vistas are second to none. While the mission is demanding you will still have an opportunity to truly enjoy the experience of New York.

We look forward to your arrival and integrating you onto the team.  If you have questions about your assignment that cannot be answered by your sponsor, please contact our Battalion S1 at 718-630-4313 who can direct you further. EMPIRE!
