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.
