The Army has launched far-reaching reforms that will transform how it attracts and recruits new soldiers, its top leaders said in a press conference today.

The moves come after the service failed to meet its recruiting targets for two consecutive fiscal years, which caused its end strength to fall from an original level of 485,000 in late 2021 to around 452,000 active duty soldiers today — its smallest full-time force since 1940, the year before the U.S. entered World War II.

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said the changes came after an in-depth recruiting study that compared 25 years of internal Army data and organizational structure against labor market trends and private sector practices.

“What we’re doing is really focused on changing what we can control [and] seizing our own destiny,” Wormuth said.

How many "sweeping reforms" will it take for the military to admit they are completely wrong about why young people aren't enlisting OR admit they know what the problem is but Biden will not allow them to address the real issue?

Cut out the tranny DEI crap, and you may have a shot at making your quotas, Defense Dept.

With the coming masses of youth unemployment, the Draft will be the 'cure'.
