The Army’s deputy chief of staff for personnel, G-1, will speak June 18 during an Association of the U.S. Army webinar.

Lt. Gen. Brian Eifler’s presentation, part of AUSA’s Noon Report series, will begin at noon Eastern. It is free, but registration is required here.

Eifler, who became the Army G-1 in August, most recently commanded the 11th Airborne Division. He also has served as the Army chief legislative liaison and deputy commanding general of the 10th Mountain Division.

A veteran of operations in Haiti, Iraq and Afghanistan, Eifler has served in the 82nd Airborne Division, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 4th Infantry Division, the 1st Armored Division and the 25th Infantry Division.

As the Army G-1, he is responsible for developing and implementing effective policy and leads programs that build sustained personnel readiness, according to the G-1 website.

In April, during testimony before the Senate Armed Services personnel subcommittee, Eifler said the Army is refining its talent management processes to keep pace with the demands of large-scale combat operations.

“Our Army is lethal, cohesive and ready. We are proud, but we are not satisfied,” he told lawmakers. “The goal is to improve, streamline … how we do things in the [human resources] community to be faster and more efficient. Our readiness for large-scale combat operations depends on it.”

Eifler added that the Army plans to overhaul its retention processes to “ensure quality over quantity and provide leaders the right skills for our formations.”

Some retention changes include using data analytics to support retention targets and modernizing the enlisted retention program and the centralized promotion board system, Eifler said in his written testimony.

After struggling to meet its recruiting goals, the Army’s transformation of its recruiting enterprise is already paying off, Eifler said. “A couple years ago, we completely revamped it,” he said. “Over the last 12 to 18 months, … we're seeing … the fruition.” He added, “Last year was a good year, this year is a great year.”

The service is undergoing a “fundamental transformation,” Eifler wrote in his written testimony. “We are adapting and changing capabilities, force structure and recruiting enterprise in order to recruit and retain the best talent for our all-volunteer Army,” he said.
