US Army Makes Cuts as Military Recruitment Challenges Continue

US Army Makes Cuts as Military Recruitment Challenges Continue
© Provided by State Of The Union

The U.S. Army is reducing its force by 24,000 jobs, mainly affecting vacant positions, not current soldiers, to optimize for future wars.

The restructuring targets counterinsurgency roles and aims to increase soldiers at installations.

“The Army is not asking current soldiers to leave. As the Army builds back end strength over the next few years, most installations will likely see an increase in the number of soldiers actually stationed there,” the Army said.


About 10,000 posts will be cut from various brigades to align with large-scale combat operations.

The Army plans to recruit to reach 470,000 active-duty soldiers by 2029, despite missing 2023 recruitment goals due to challenges like a competitive job market and COVID-19 impacts.

Instead of "the Army of One," it will be the woke Army of less. :whistle:

That makes no sense whatsoever.  The service is cutting billets purely to hide its failures in recruitment and retention.

This is typical Biden administration policy making, it makes no sense. :thud:
