Why Is U.S. Military Recruitment Up So Much Now?
In early February, the US Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) announced its best December in 15 years, enlisting 346 soldiers daily. By the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, the Army also met its goal of recruiting 55,000 new active-duty soldiers.
President Trump and other administration officials immediately took credit for the feat, with newly-confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claiming that America’s youth want to serve under Trump’s “bold & strong ‘America First’ leadership.”
The President made similar remarks on April 21 at the White House Easter Roll, stating that “[The military has] had the highest number of recruits enlistments [in]…28 or 29 years,” and that “It’s all happened–since November 5th.”
