Difficulties in the U.S. military recruitment: the number of qualifications is largely decreasing, and the number of people with willingness to reach a new low of 15 years

Overseas Network, June 28. According to a report by the National Broadcasting Corporation on the 27th, several US Department of Defense officials said that the US military is trying to achieve the target of troop recruitment in 2022, but the data shows that the proportion of young people in accordance with qualifications has decreased significantly. There are very few people who are willing to join the army, a new low in 15 years.

According to reports, the number of young men and women in the United States has continued to decrease, and the proportion of the number of people who have been canceled due to obesity, drug abuse or criminal records will reach a record high. The US Army Chief of Staff Mai Kangwell said that only 23%of Americans aged 17 to 24 are eligible to join the army without exemption, compared with 29%in recent years.

ABC National Broadcasting Corporation has found that only 9%of young people in the United States who are in accordance with their qualifications are willing to participate in the army, which is the lowest level since 2007. The survey shows that Americans have a negative evaluation of the army and their inconvenience to the U.S. government is the reason for the reduction of young people's willingness to participate in the army. With the overall number of military numbers and the familiarity of the remaining personnel's familiarity with the military services, the trend of decline in the willingness of recruitment may continue.

The leadership of the US Department of Defense believes that the shortage of military personnel is serious and is trying to enrich the team. The U.S. Army retired Lieutenant General Thomas Spor, who is responsible for the defense project of the traditional foundation, said: "This is the beginning of the US military recruitment facing a long -term shortage. Since the United States left Vietnam and the recruitment has officially ended in 1973, the recruitment work has never been so difficult."
