Recruit Sustainment Program

The goal of the RSP is to reduce the overall training pipeline loss rate by creating a strong foundation of training that allows the recruit the ability to achieve success while attending IET and providing the parent unit a Soldier who is MOS-qualified.

The ARNG Recruit Sustainment Program prepares ARNG Warriors for the successful completion of BCT and subsequent MOS qualification. It indoctrinates them through training focused at the top five reasons that Warriors are lost in the Training Pipeline, provides full visibility on the preparation process and ensures they ship to BCT mentally prepared, physically ready and administratively correct.

It also promotes integration of the RRC, the RSP Warrior and potential applicants, facilitates lead generation and conversion, and reinforces the benefits of ARNG service as well as the opportunities offered for education during concurrent service in the RSP.
