CHANGE: U.S. Army Meets 2025 Recruiting Goal Four Months Ahead of Schedule

The United States Army is firing on all cylinders again. They just met their 2025 recruiting goals and did so four months ahead of schedule.

During the Biden administration, recruitment was down across the board. Every branch of the U.S. Military was struggling to meet recruitment goals.

This is what Democrats and the media were afraid of with Pete Hegseth becoming Defense Secretary. They weren’t afraid that he would fail. They were afraid he would succeed.

U.S. Army Hits Annual Recruiting Goal Months Early — ‘Renewed Sense of Patriotism’ Under Trump, Hegseth

The United States Army said it has hit its 2025 recruiting goal four months early, which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says clearly shows “America’s youth want to serve” under President Trump.

Officials said Tuesday the Army has met its goal with the signing of 61,000 contracts for new active duty soldiers, the Army Times reported on Wednesday…

In April, Vice President JD Vance underscored the positive recruiting trends as he and President Donald Trump expressed full confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Breitbart News reported.

“If you look at our military recruitment numbers — that’s in my view, the best testament to his leadership of the military — is that for the first time in a very long time we don’t have terrible recruitment problems in the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force,” he stated.

The Army’s goal was 10 percent higher than the 55,000 recruits sought in 2024, the Times article said. In a news release, the Army said the achievement shows “a renewed sense of patriotism and purpose among America’s youth.”

This is fantastic news.

Congratulations to Pete Hegseth and President Trump for such a great accomplishment!
