The U.S. Army is seeing strong recruiting momentum in 2025, with 85% of its target already met by April. Significant progress is attributed to an aggressive recruiting strategy, including a surge in delayed-entry program (DEP) enlistments. Despite challenges like narrowing eligibility due to rising obesity and academic gaps, new initiatives like the Future Soldiers Preparatory Courses have helped bolster the ranks. With the Army well-positioned to meet its fiscal year goal, it marks a notable recovery after years of shortfalls.
