The U.S. Army’s recruitment troubles may be over…
According to a Fox News report, Army recruitment is shattering records following President Donald Trump’s November election win.
The Army reported that it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers every day in December.
“Our Recruiters have one of the toughest jobs – inspiring the next generation of #Soldiers to serve. Congratulations and keep up the great work! #BAYCB,” Army recruiting officials wrote in a post on X.

The U.S. military missed its recruiting goals by 41,000 in 2023 under Joe Biden and then-DoD Sec. Lloyd Austin.
In 2024, the Army announced it was cutting its force by 24,000 in a restructuring to “help the service fight in future wars.”
The nearly 5% jobs cut affected posts that remained empty, according to the Army.
