Recruiting

The new program is designed to fast-track the enlistment process for recruits who lack high school degrees.

The program allows recruits to naturalize at the end of basic training. Several military branches have revived it at a time when the military is having trouble attracting recruits.

The new marketing campaign is based around the tagline, "Be All You Can Be," which was originally featured in Army ads during the 1980s and 1990s.

The referral bonuses are designed to boost recruiting at the National Guard, which fell thousands of troops short of its goal last year.

The Navy has raised its age limit from 39 to 41 - the oldest of any of the services. But the Navy’s national chief recruiter said data shows older recruits can do well.

The National Guard fell about 9,000 troops short of its goal in 2022. Some states are improving their outreach and incentive plans to try to counter that trend.

The Future Soldier Preparatory Course hopes to give potential recruits who are just short of meeting U.S. Army physical or academic standards the small boost they need.

The military is having a tough time finding new recruits, and one factor may be its heavy reliance on families of those who’ve served.
