Affirmative Employment Plan
Fort Lee continues to be part of the Army climate that deals with budget cuts, hiring freezes and authorization decrements. In spite of that, we have been successful in putting the focus on affirmative action in consideration of new hires, promotions and training opportunities. The command continues to focus on increasing the representation of women and minorities at the senior grade levels, and promises that affirmative employment objectives will be an integral part of the command's focus in the upcoming year. Because of the constraints existing in current hiring, Fort Lee commits to the development of the skills and upward mobility of those employees that are serving us so well today.
