What is the Recruit Sustainment Program?
The intent of this program is help prepare the Initial Active Duty Training Soldier by training and mentoring them prior to shipping out for Basic Training. The goal of RSP is to reduce Basic Training failures by introducing newly enlisted soldier to the military environment, and to ease their adjustment to Basic Combat and Advance Individual Training. Once the non-prior applicant begins RSP training he or she is referred to as “Warriors”, for the physical and mental rigors of initial active duty for training (IADT); instill the seven army values in each Warrior; verify Warriors are administratively, mentally and physically prepared to meet shipping requirements.
