Vision Statement

The Chicago Recruiting Battalion will be a mission based organization that enlists the most qualified Soldiers for both the Army Reserves and the Active Army components.  We will function as a team-of-teams, where every individual recruiter and staff member will conduct him/herself as a professional and always remain in line with the Army Values, the NCO Creed, and the Warrior Ethos.  We will inspire our local communities by maintaining superb physical fitness, by illuminating the virtues of Army service to the nation, and by fully integrating into schools and local activities.  Through all these endeavors, we will support our families and strive to make work fun and rewarding.  Strength and Honor! Always Prepared!
