Army Recruiting Ohio

Our Brigade Leadership, COL Allen and CSM Garcia, took time to recognize the hard earned work of some of our Soldiers in the BN.

These Soldiers were recognized for their tireless efforts in recruiting the next generation of Soldiers that will impact our Army for generations to come.

Congratulations, we are proud of every single one of you!

SSG Bowman was recognized for his efforts during the Holiday season and earned his gold badge.

SSG Gifford and SSG VanDine were awarded their Recruiter Rings as well as received awards from USAREC being top recruiters in 2nd Quarter.

The following NCO’s all earned their Recruiter Ring:
1SG Peterson, SFC Rose, SFC Horne, SFC Musselman, SFC Stolte, SFC Walker, and SSG McCullough.

SFC Crawshaw was awarded a plaque for being a top recruiter in 2nd Qtr as well as being awarded the Glen E. Morrell medal and ring.

Our Miami Valley and Columbus companies were also recognized for their performance in 2nd QTR.

Our Recruiters, Recruiting Stations, Companies, Staff, and Civilians are always working hard to put in the next generation of the United States Army and Army Reserve.

That hard work does not go unnoticed by the Battalion Leadership and they make sure and recognize every moment they can.

That hard work has also been seen by U.S. Army 3rd Recruiting Brigade and US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC)

Great work Pioneers! We appreciate you all!

Congratulations to Major Haas on his promotion!

That’s our SFC Peter VanDine 😤

Columbus Army Recruiting Battalion received some new hardware from Brigade! Starting off the year strong, looking in the mail for the next one.

Shout out to all the hard working Soldiers, Command Teams, Civilians, and Staff that keep propelling this organization in the winning column! 😤

It’s always a great day to recognize the hard work of our Soldiers, Stations, Companies, and Staff!

As CSM would say “Let’s Go!”

Congratulations to PFC Swetha Hariharan (soon to be SPC after graduation) who enlisted into the U.S. Army Reserve today as a 68W Combat Medic! Witnessing her this proud day was her Father, her Recruiter SSG McLean, and the Battalion Staff.

Senior at THE Ohio State University, and member of ROTC, she has her goals all lined up in her sights! With graduating college around the corner she has aspirations of going to Medical School and taking advantage of applying for the Health Professions Scholarship Program offered through the Army paying her way through medical school and become a Commissioned Officer!

From all of us here at we are proud to witness the beginning of PFC Hariharan’s Army Story! We look forward to seeing her career progress!
