Fiscal year 2022 was the worst year for military recruiting in terms of meeting numerical goals since the start of the All-Volunteer Force, and 2023 is shaping up to be even more challenging. All the military services are experiencing challenges, but the Army—especially since they need the greatest number of volunteers—is having the most difficulty. Indeed, it’s not the Army’s problem, but rather America’s since a recruiting shortfall translates to a weaker overall U.S. national defense.

Joining Heritage to offer their insights on the causes and possible solutions to the problem are two thought leaders: Major General Johnny Davis, the newly assigned leader of Army recruiting, and Dr. Beth Asch, author of many of the foundational studies on military recruiting. You won’t want to miss this session to get a better understanding of what is happening and how we can all help to solve this national problem.
