The Army surpassed its recruiting goal of 55,000 new recruits this fiscal year, while adding 11,000 individuals to the delayed entry program, which will support next year’s recruiting efforts. This marks a significant turnaround after the service missed its recruitment targets in 2022 and 2023. The success is largely attributed to the Army’s Future Soldier Prep Course, which helped more than 13,000 recruits meet academic and fitness requirements for basic training.
