| Army Takes A Chainsaw To 24,000 Positions In Response To Recruitment Shortfalls |
| 2024-02-28 |
| [Daily Caller] The Army is cutting thousands of empty positions as the ongoing recruiting crisis has robbed the service of enough people to fill those roles, according to an Army document published Tuesday. After a "rigorous" year-long review of the Army’s existing force structure, service officials determined the number and purpose of positions comprising the force did not match up with the changing security environment, the white paper stated. Officials justified cutting 24,000 roles that have been left empty as the Army deals with its worst-ever recruiting crisis as helping ensure the service only plans to assign and deploy the people it has available, cutting down on strain and allowing for more realistic planning. The Army is "over-structured, meaning there are not enough soldiers to fill out existing units and organizations," the document stated. It emphasized the cuts are coming to "authorizations (spaces)" not "individual soldiers (faces)." |

| #18 I'd suggest doubling down on the Recruitwoment Theory and high brass cross dressers and doggie costumes to show just how serious you take your business with the lives of your soldiers. Threatening to send recruits to die in a Ukrainian nuke war is a bold move. |

| #17 The New Normal will never be viable Military force As we have seen with naval collisions, air force balloon outings and army barracks beatings. Soon launches will be the first line of defense. If Biden can get it up. |

| #8 Also I am willing to bet the US Army's 365/200's guidelines have been adjusted to retain more border line recruits. |
