The U.S. Army released a new vision Wednesday. Looking ahead to 2028, the service plans to grow the regular army above 500,000 soldiers. With more than half a million people, the Army is the largest branch of the U.S. military.
The Army Vision for 2028 will modernize the force by developing autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and robotics to make soldiers more effective and units less logistically dependent, the statement said. In the digital era, more use will be made of manned and unmanned ground combat vehicles, aircraft sustainment systems, and weapons.
The Army also plans to build a talent management based system with more flexible career models to better attract, identify, develop and place leaders.
Hispanics have a legacy of history in the U.S. Army and a future of success.
According to a 2018 “Demographics of the U.S. Military” report, among enlisted recruits, 43 percent of men and 56 percent of women are Hispanic.
Research shows there is widespread support for military service within the Hispanic community.
For Memorial Day 2017, Manuel Flores of Tejano Talks highlighted the contributions of famous Hispanic-American generals to show how Hispanics and their legacy continue to contribute to the strength of the U.S. Army.
Flores shared the accomplishments of Gen. Richard E. Cavazos, the Army’s first Hispanic four-star general, Lt. Gen. Marc Cisneros, a three-star general, who also served as president of Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and Maj. Gen. Alfred Valenzuela, who commanded Army South and served in three combat corps and six infantry divisions.
During the past 30 years, representation of Hispanic Americans on active duty in the Army has increased by 10 percent. In 1985, it was three percent, and in 2016 it is 13.7 percent.
