Army Met Objectives November Yet Faces Recruiter Trends
Assistant Secretary of Defense William K. Brehm said the Army met its November recruiting objective with 15 600 new members against a 15 000 target. Over 10 months the Army shortfall reached 3 000.

The Defense Department weighs eliminating up to 60 000 noncombat positions globally to curb enlistments, with first cutbacks due within a month and lasting months, shifting balance toward combat personnel.
