Today, Army University was officially launched!
This new program will provide the Force with a single point of contact for all Army education matters, and will address the educational needs of the Army while providing individual Soldiers and Civilians the opportunity to accomplish their own respective academic goals. Army University was made official by a proclamation signed by U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh and Sergeant Major of the Army Daniel A. Dailey.
The creation of Army University represents a revitalization of the Army's professional military education system and is the first major step in transforming the Army into the innovative force needed to build the Army of 2025 and beyond.
"The Army University is the next logical step in the continued professionalization of the Army that began with the creation of the All-Volunteer Force in 1973," said Gen. Raymond Odierno, the Army chief of staff. "This effort organizes all of TRADOC's existing educational programs into a single university structure to promote greater academic rigor, to improve internal integration, and to enhance external collaboration with many of the Nation's best universities and colleges."
Additionally, this effort provides a cost savings to the Army in tuition assistance and unemployment expenses, which improves a Soldier's ability to transition into quality employment opportunities after their service.

Did not even know about this. Sounds like a great initiative. I really like the aspect of creating one single hub form Army education transcripts. I curious to know how this program will help aid in TA exspenses for all Soldiers, it was mention in the article but didn't offer any details. More to follow in the upcoming months.

Marine Corps University celebrates its 25th anniversary:
Hundreds of Marines and military members from other U.S. and allied services who recently arrived at Quantico to attend one of the University’s schools, gathered in the theater to celebrate the start of academic year 2014 -2015 and 25th anniversary of the founding of MCU.
