A study published in the Journal of Public of Public Health Management and Practice has found that the Army is having trouble finding recruits, from southern states, that are in good physical condition -where the Army has been known to find a large percentage of soldiers.

The study was intended to correlate Army recruits’ cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index (BMI), and injuries with the states in which they were recruited in. The data could then be used to determine whether or not certain states may “pose disproportionate threats to military readiness and national security.”
