Military on track to meet campus recruitment goals despite challenges

Both the Army and the Navy said that their branches of the military are on track to meet campus recruitment commission goals despite falling short in 2022.

The College Fix reached out to the recruiting offices of the U.S. Air Force, Army and the Navy twice over the last three weeks via email with questions regarding 2022 recruiting shortages and what role recruiters and ROTC programs have played this year in meeting recruitment goals.

“As the nation’s largest commissioning source, the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps is available at more than 900 college campuses nationwide and produces more than 5,000 Second Lieutenants a year, or approximately 75% of all new Lieutenants entering the U.S. Army annually,” Maj. Dan Lessard, a spokesperson for U.S. Army Cadet Command, told The College Fix.
