The US military expects to meet its recruitment goals for the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force by September, while the Navy is projected to fall about 5,000 short. Despite challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and competition from the private sector, the Army has rebounded significantly, aiming for 55,000 recruits. Concerns remain about a future decline in the youth population, as only 23% of young adults qualify to serve without waivers.
