Check out the feature article on how the Coastal Empire is tackling regional workforce challenges by turning to our transitioning Soldiers and their families in this month's Georgia Trend. “If you hire a spouse and you give them a good opportunity and quality of life, what are the chances that they’ll stay here or that they re-enlist to stay here?” said Col. Marc Austin, Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield garrison commander. “Now maybe it’s five to seven years. When they retire from the military, maybe they come back to live here if they’ve left, or they stay here when they separate because the spouse has a stable job with benefits, allowing the military member to transition without thinking, ‘I need a job right away to support the family’” US Army U.S. Army Materiel Command U.S. Army Installation Management Command Savannah RISE
