Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness

In this episode, “The Stars Are Lined Up for Military Spouses,” Kathryn Troutman uses her experience as a federal career coach and resume-writing expert to share how military spouses can launch a career in the federal government through the Priority Placement Program, which gives preference to these candidates when they apply for Defense Department Civilian positions. Along with going over the program’s self-certification checklist, Troutman explains eligibility requirements and the documentation needed to apply. 

About the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness

In June 2023, the U.S. Army announced the realignment of the Army Resilience Directorate from G-1, personnel readiness, to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff in G-9. This move formalizes a new prevention governance structure, enabling a community approach to prevention that lowers the risk of harmful behaviors.

The consolidated directorate was renamed the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness (DPRR) on July 1, 2023, and is led by Ms. Dee Geise, former director of SFRD.
