While speaking at a multiservice panel on 2025 recruiting concerns at the Pentagon previously today, Director of Military Accession Policy Katie Helland said that the services increased the number of recruits from 200,000 in FY 2023 to 225,000 in FY 2024, which ended September 30.

Additionally, she said, the services had a 35% boost in written agreements, and the active parts’ postponed entry program started FY 2025 with a 10% larger swimming pool.

 » [The Office of the Secretary of Defense] and the services will continue to construct off the momentum that we’ve gotten in 2024, » Helland stated.

 » Nevertheless, » she continued, « we require to remain very carefully positive about the future recruiting operations as we continue to hire in a market that has low youth tendency to serve, minimal familiarity with military opportunities, a competitive labor market and a decreasing eligibility amongst young people. »

Helland elaborated on those obstacles by explaining that, for the very first time since the metric has been tracked, many young people have actually never thought about the choice of serving in the armed force.

The reasons behind that are multifold, Helland said. Young Americans have less ties to pals or relative who have served in the military. There is a declining existence of veterans in our society. Approximately 77% of individuals between the ages of 17 and 24 need some kind of waiver to serve due to any number of disqualifications.

To counter such difficulties, Helland said the armed force has actually executed a medical pilot program that enables recruits to join the armed force without a waiver for various health conditions – offered they meet particular requirements. Additionally, there are service member prep courses that prepare recruits to meet the exhausting requirements of military service. Moreover, DOD is seeking to reconnect with youth and their influencers by showing them the value of serving.

 » The next generation of Americans to serve need to understand that there has actually never ever been a better time for them to select military service, » Helland said.

 » Youth today seek a larger purpose in their lives and desire jobs where they have greater participation in decision-making and can produce a direct concrete impact, » she continued. « Military service offers all of this. »

Explaining that U.S. military service provides more than 250 professions and that it represents among the most highly informed companies throughout the world and throughout all pay grades, Helland stated the Defense Department is striving to counter the narrative that signing up with the armed force is an alternative to attending college or « an option of last hope. »

 » We are working to reframe this narrative so that Americans understand that military service is a pathway to higher education and profession chances while protecting democracy and the liberties we love, » Helland stated.

She included that DOD is reframing this story. For instance, the department’s Joint Advertising Marketing research and Studies program will soon release a project to construct familiarity with the American public about the value of military service. Plans are also proceeding to have adult influencers advocate for military service.
