Why the US Army Faces a Recruiting Crisis

The US Army is facing its toughest recruiting challenge since the draft ended in 1973, falling 15,000 soldiers short in 2022 and projecting an even larger gap ahead. The reasons run deep: 77% of young Americans are ineligible to serve due to obesity, medical issues, debt, or criminal records, while fewer than 10% express interest in joining at all. With private companies, law enforcement, and even foreign militaries competing for the same shrinking talent pool, the Army is scrambling for solutions. From controversial ad campaigns to reshaping bootcamp traditions and focusing on retention through family support and career opportunities, the military must rethink how it attracts and keeps the next generation of soldiers—or risk falling behind in its war for talent.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
