Joint Recruiting Stations

The former Chief of Staff said “people are the lifeblood of the Army and of the Joint Force” (Department of the Army, 2021, p. ii). The statement raises concerns for the Army and the joint force as the people eligible and willing to be the lifeblood are harder to find and recruit.

“Recruiting is the foundation of the all-volunteer force in the United States” (Asch, 2019, p. 1). As military branches fail to meet recruiting goals, the risk to the Army’s ability to maintain an all-volunteer force rise.
