#1 If you cannot meet your established recruitment, Physical Training (PT), educational (MOS skills testing), or substance abuse goals and standards.... then lower or eliminate your goals and standards.

#2 Kinda like reducing crime by firing police and changing laws.

#3 And here I was wondering about Army regulations about visible tattoos and potential MS-13 enlistees.

#4 Let me guess: some of these recruits satisfied all requirements except for being white racists.

#5 From the stories I've read, it seems the only thing being slashed is a not of nonsense in the org chart.

Simply put.
The New Normal will never be viable Military force.

Looking down the road.
According to available data (2024), we have about 4,163,000 Illegals in the USA of Military fighting ages 18 to 34.

#7 /\ General Dynamics, Lockheed, or some other mega-contract holder will hire the migrant MAMS and assign them to gov't military contracts. Enlistees from Red States, who needs them. Over time, or when those contracts end, the MAMS will be absorbed into civilian Federal employment positions.

(Some will be discreetly absorbed by the intelligence community to assist with special 'nation building' initiatives.)

There's money to be made and votes to be had here.

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

#9 /\ Forts, Camps, and Posts will have to be re-named. The Presidio of Escobar? Fort Ortega? Joint Facility Che ?

#12 Never a consideration of ending overseas bases while the border here is overrun. You had one job - protect the homeland.

#16 What happens to the budget for those positions? Pa off the national debt?

#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.

#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.
