The article has very few cites. I did a search for news sources, and came up with very little. While this does appear to be something the US Army is developing, it doesn't seem to meet WP:notability standards.Casprings (talk) 03:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per multiple sources revealed in a Google search, including this article from U.S. News & World Report, another from the Army Times, and some coverage from CNN. Definitely needs cleanup and probably trimming as well. I agree the article's current citations are weak, and if the article is kept they should be expanded to include some of this third party coverage. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 05:11, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and Merge to History of the United States Army. Minor new policy initiative of the U.S. Army; the Army pumps out several of these per decade. Wikipedia does not actually need to replicate the official policy document on the issue, but the essentials can be placed (one line mentions, two line mentions) at History of the United States Army and Structure of the United States Army etc. Buckshot06 (talk) 05:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
When the nominator doesn't sign, does that merit a ~~Procedural Keep~~? Boogerpatrol (talk) 23:07, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup, per the add'l sourcing found by Ginseng, WP:NOTPAPER, WP:IAR, and the personal learning I realized as considering my !vote, including following through on some of the links provided.Boogerpatrol (talk) 11:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
