The most recent Pentagon data indicates the Army, at 69 percent of its stated recruitment goal, and Navy, at 60 percent, have fallen well short of their targets this fiscal year, though February. The Marines and the new Space Force each reached 100 percent, while the Air Force hit a decent 87 percent. Recruiting goals for the services ranged from 23,478 new enlistments for the Army to 172 for the Space Force.
Navy Reserve 67 percent, Air Guard 57 percent, Air Reserve 62 percent, Army Reserve 58 percent and Army Guard 90 percent. Marine Reserve recruiters beat the competition by far, scoring 120 percent.
One issue that is not a problem, despite Republican accusations, is potential recruits being dissuaded by the Biden administration's liberal policies.
"The Navy lacking a credible public narrative or strong advocacy amidst the greatest maritime challenge of two generations would seem to weigh heavily on the greatest contributing factors."
