ANNEX I (SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM) TO OHARNG FY2008 STRENGTH MAINTENANCE
PLAN
SOLDIER SPONSORSHIP
1. PURPOSE. The Sponsorship Program is designed to allow for the proper integration of a
new Soldier into an OHARNG unit. Sponsorship is more than an administrative requirement; it
is a program to welcome and orient new team members in order to hasten the development of
their productivity and feeling of usefulness. A well-orchestrated Sponsorship Program provides
a positive first impression of the unit, its leaders, and the OHARNG. Leaders at all levels share
in the responsibility for an effective reception, orientation, and integration program. The new
Soldier’s FLL will be assigned as the sponsor upon return from RSP Gold Phase
weekend( completion of AIT). New Soldiers must know from the very first day, the FLL is
their POC for resolving situations (i.e. pay problems, promotion questions, and etc.) beyond their
control. They need to be accustomed to taking orders from the FLL and looking to them for
guidance as they progress in their military career.
2. CONCEPT OF OPERATION. From the day new members report to the unit, each
commander, FLL, and veteran unit member is responsible for making sure they know they are
both welcome and needed.
3. RSP PROGRAM. IAW, new team members will report directly to their RSP Company and
remain there until AIT is completed and they attend the Gold Phase of the RSP Program. FLLs
will stay in touch with the new team member by phone or email through the duration of the RSP
program until the Soldier completes RSP Gold phase. The sponsorship checklist will be
completed by the RSP Sponsor, who is the new Soldiers RRNCO.
