With three full months left in the fiscal year for military recruiting, the services already are developing a sense of whether they’ll make their target recruiting mission or end up short.
The Marine Corps has brought in more than 101% of its recruiting target for the year to date, up from 100% this time in 2023, and officials anticipate meeting annual recruiting goals once again.
The Navy, on the other hand, already is expecting to fall short of its target for a second consecutive year.
That’s according to military officials who testified before the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services during the committee’s quarterly meeting on June 25 in Arlington, Virginia.
The Air Force and the Army, which have struggled in the past two years to meet recruiting goals, have indicated they’re on track to make mission.
