The Army will establish new regional recruiting centers in Los Angeles and work closely with leaders in those communities, according to a recent Army story.

“We’re going to improve the relationships with local leaders in these locations, which will open doors for our recruiters and help us to synchronize our message,” Army Recruiting Command Brig. Gen. Sara Dudley, deputy commanding general for operations, said.

When the centers open next summer, the commands will oversee the five enlisted recruitment brigades.

The Army said it chose the locations because of quality of life, community support and proximity to installations.
