“I’m pleased to report that in January, the U.S. Army had its single best recruiting month in 15 years, and that all armed services are having among the best recruiting results ever in the history of our services,” Trump said. Days before Trump took office, Wormuth told The Associated Press that the Army was on pace to bring in 61,000 young people by the end of the fiscal year in September, which would be the second straight year of meeting recruitment goals. The Marine Corps Recruiting Command told PolitiFact that recruiters outperformed the first five months of fiscal year 2025 when compared with the same timeframe the previous year.
