Officers from the sister services who have been accepted for transfer to the Army will be paid a lump sum $2,500 bonus if they agree to a three-year active-duty service obligation.

The bonus is retroactive for officers who signed up for a service transfer on Jan. 6, 2006, and later.

To qualify for a bonus, an officer's transfer must be approved by the assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs. The Army Human Resources Command will notify officers when their inter-service transfer request is officially approved.

The Army needs trained officers in a bad way. To help fill out the ranks they are offering a $2,500 bonus to qualified officers from other branches (Navy, Air Force, Marines etc.) who want to go Army!
