DOD Active-Duty Recruitment and Retention Challenges : Government Accountability Office (GAO) , March 28 , 2023
From the document: “Ensuring the United States has a sufficient number of qualified active-duty military personnel is a matter of national security. To maintain its active-duty levels, the Department of Defense (DOD) must balance recruiting new members and retaining already trained service members. However, DOD is facing its most challenging recruitment environment in 50 years. GAO’s body of work on DOD’s efforts to recruit and retain military personnel has identified challenges in the following three key areas: (1) the availability of recruitment and retention-related data (2) the use of goals, plans, and strategies; and (3) the monitoring of plans and strategies for effectiveness.”
