Army recruiting shatters records after President Trump election win

The U.S. Army recently announced it shattered previous recruiting records, with December 2024 being the most productive December in 15 years.

The branch reported it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers every day that month, Army officials announced Tuesday on social media.

Army recruiting officials expressed their admiration for the challenging job of inspiring the next generation of soldiers to serve. They congratulated the recruiters and encouraged them to continue their excellent work by using the hashtag #BAYCB in a post on X.

Army announced it was cutting its force by 24,000 in a restructuring to “help the service fight in future wars.”

The almost 5 percent of jobs cut affected posts that remained empty, according to the Army.
