The shortage of recruits is the worst since the all-volunteer force was created 50 years ago, authors Lt. Col. Frank Dolberry and Charles McEnany wrote. The Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) sponsored the project.
The authors noted that the Army missed its 2022 recruiting goal of 60,000 soldiers by 15,000, and again fell short of its 2023 goal of 65,000 new soldiers by 10,000. End strength now rests at 452,000 – the lowest since World War II – the authors wrote.
