After years of shrinking the force, the Army is suddenly in growth mode again, creating new challenges for recruiters. Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, the commander of Army Recruiting Command talks with Jared Serbu about the increased mission for 2017 and 2018. Later, Sergeant Major of the Army Daniel Dailey joins us to talk about possible new incentives for soldiers to keep themselves "deployable" -- in other words, physically fit.
Rear. Adm. Danelle Barrett, the Navy's chief information officer is our guest for the full hour this week.
She and Jared Serbu spend the bulk of the hour discussing some major changes her office has just directed to reorient the way the Navy buys commercial cloud computing services.
Also, a new pilot program the Navy's launching this spring: "Compile-to-Combat in 24 Hours." As the name implies, the idea is to deliver new software capabilities to ships in less than a day, rather than the 18 months it takes to deploy new systems right now.
