Cohesion Operation Readiness and Training (COHORT)
COHORT units have rotation schedules between CONUS (Continental United States) and OCONUS (overseas) locations.
Although it is the intent to train and assign members of the same COHORT training package as a group, there are instances where a group that has trained together is split up in the COHORT unit and, as a result, does not violate or otherwise breach the contract. Enlistees for COHORT, however, will be assigned to the unit (division) for which enlisting. No guarantee of specific company, battalion, or brigade is implied.
Because COHORT units have rotation to overseas areas and units that are located in overseas areas have additional intertheater rotations, applicants will meet the overseas tour length requirement for the area in order to have a with dependents tour. This sometimes requires an extension of the enlistment period to meet the requirements of AR 614-30. This requirement includes Alaska and Hawaii.
Buddy Team Enlistment Option
Applicants enlisting under the United States Army Buddy Team Enlistment Option will be guaranteed:
- To start training and complete training at the same unit provided all prerequisites are met.
- The same unit of assignment upon completion of training enlistees will be guaranteed.
