Pentagon officials announced Tuesday a major overhaul in the military’s approach to enticing young Americans to enlist, moved to act after the Army once again fell thousands short of meeting its recruiting goal for the year.
On Tuesday, Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth and Gen. Randy George, the chief of staff, detailed what was billed as “sweeping changes” to how the nation’s senior military service will identify and recruit new talent.
The changers come as the Army and the other military services grapple with the most challenging recruiting environment since the end of the draft 50 years ago. In the fiscal year that just ended, the Army brought in about 55,000 recruits — 10,000 short of its target goal of 65,000. “Just continuing to have the same approach but do it better and harder was not going to get us where we need to be,” she said.
Army leaders said some recruiting challenges are beyond their control, such as the demographic reality that there is a declining percentage of young people eligible to join the military. Some reforms can begin immediately while others could take years to complete. The Army is also creating a permanent warrant officer position for recruiting. Both assignments will put the service in line with most major companies where personnel recruiting is a specialized, full-time career field.
