The Army will not reach its “very ambitious” recruiting goal this year, the secretary of the service branch admitted on Tuesday.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday that the service would fall short of its goal of 65,000 new recruits. The Army fell roughly 15,000 active-duty troops short of its goal last year of having 60,000 new soldiers.
“[Army Chief of Staff Gen. James C. McConville] and I set a very ambitious goal of 65,000 new recruits this year, and we are not going to make that goal,” the Army secretary said.
