2ND RECRUITING BRIGADE LEADERSHIP

MEET THE U.S. ARMY 2ND RECRUITING BRIGADE

WHO WE ARE
 

We are a diverse group of Soldiers and Civilians from across the United States, pulled from nearly every Army occupation and positioned across the Southeast United States (North Carolina down to Louisiana & Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) to share with America what the Army is, Army career pathways/careers available, and the opportunities the Army affords.

MISSION
 

We exist to spread awareness and to identify the best and brightest Americans to join the best team in the world!

U.S. Army 2^nd Recruiting Brigade, “Eagle” Brigade, contributes to Army Readiness by recruiting the right individuals into the U.S. Army as Active Duty and Reserve Soldiers to meet the force requirements of the future. We will accomplish our assigned task by operating with focus and a sense of urgency, and by harnessing our team’s unique skills and backgrounds. We will maintain a high level of unit pride, morale and teamwork while providing world-class leadership and care of our Soldiers, Civilians and families. We will “Provide the Force!”

TEAM EAGLE PRIORITIES
 

Our three priorities are: Take Care of Our Teammates, Develop Our Team, and Accomplish Our Mission. Taking care of people and training/developing our team will enable mission accomplishment. We expect our teammates to live the Army values with discipline and accountability.

We will Take Care of our Teammates by fostering a safe and positive climate, and by treating each other, and the public, with dignity and respect every day. We will be Positively Intrusive Leaders and take care of Soldiers, Civilian Teammates, Families/Support Networks by intervening early when issues arise (goal is to be preventative). We will enforce Standards, Discipline, and Accountability. We will be positive, have fun, and regularly reinforce the meaningful work that our Soldiers and Civilians are doing.

We will Develop our Team to be competitive team players who take pride in themselves and their service. We will coach, mentor and train our Soldiers and Civilian Teammates to reach their full potential. We will take complete ownership and contribute our skills and abilities to achieve the mission.

We will Accomplish Our Mission by operating with a sense of urgency daily, and by reducing distractions that do not lead to results, readiness, or resilience. We will ensure we adequately equip our teammates with support/resource to execute their assigned mission, and ensure all our teammates support the mission. We will develop strong networks and work with our community partners to share the Army’s story. We will be walking billboards and demonstrate the prestige and opportunities the Army has to offer.

2nd Recruiting Brigade exceeds the FY25 quality and contract mission by category; develops competent, confident small unit leaders empowered to execute their mission; shapes the operational environment; creates and enforces systems and processes that that reinforce mission success while caring for Soldiers, Civilians, and Families. Conditions set for FY26.

WELCOME TO THE U.S. ARMY 2ND RECRUITING BRIGADE
 

On behalf of the Soldiers, Civilians, Contractors, and Families of the 2nd Recruiting Brigade, I want to welcome you to “Team Eagle”!  You can take great pride in joining the Family of the Army’s premier recruiting brigade.  If you are new to recruiting, you are embarking on what will be the most challenging yet ultimately fulfilling and rewarding assignment of your career.  If you are coming from another recruiting assignment, then get ready to take it to the next level!

Team Eagle recruits across the eight Southeastern states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are organized into eight recruiting battalions, 46 recruiting companies and more than 265 recruiting stations.

The Command Team and I are absolutely committed to providing the quality of life you and your Families deserve, while still accomplishing our immensely important mission.  For many of you, this assignment represents the first time you will live away from an installation environment.  While we have a number of military social events, take the time to integrate into your local civilian community.  We live in some of the most beautiful and exciting areas in the U.S.; it’s an opportunity that shouldn’t be overlooked.

While assigned to Team Eagle, you will find that you will come to represent all that is good about the All-Volunteer Force.  With that comes tremendous responsibility and great demands.  To meet these demands, we are committed to promoting an environment of open communication, implementing personal and professional development and training programs, and ultimately fostering a learning organization focused on our most precious asset…our People.  We will provide the Strength of our Army with precision, and we will do so with integrity and while maintaining a high Quality Of Life.

As you begin your travel to your new assignment within the brigade, I ask that you be safe and plan accordingly.  We want you here as part of our Team.  If you are in need of any assistance, please let the chain of command know so we can help in your transition.

Matthew P. Upperman
