The Army intends to unveil a new Web page June 14, the service's 226th anniversary.
"The revised Army home page will be a birthday gift for the more than
1 million visitors who view the current Web site each month," Maj. Chris
Conway, a staff member in the Army chief of staff's office, said in a written
statement announcing the change.
The new Army home page will include improved navigation features — providing
users with quicker access to information — and enhanced graphics, including
animation.
It will provide a variety of services, including keeping members of
the Army community around the world informed about the latest news, benefits
and opportunities; encouraging potential recruits to join and current members
to stay; and informing the public about the Army.
"The Army of the new millennium deserves to have a new official Web
site," Conway said.
In addition to its home page at www.army.mil,
other Army Web sites include an Army recruiting site (www.goarmy.com) and Army Knowledge Online (www.us.army.mil),
a site available to all Army members, civilians and retirees featuring the
latest Army news, knowledge centers, a lifetime e-mail account, a search
engine and a chat room.
