Army recruiting shortfall in August again
The Pentagon reported August recruiting fell short for the eighth straight month. The Army met 81 percent of its 17 000 goal, with only 48 percent of combat arms slots filled and Black recruits at 30 percent, down from 35 percent in July. Marines reached 83 percent of their goal while Navy and Air Force met needs. Lt Gen Robert Taber said many volunteers without a service preference would fill empty combat slots and officials floated broader Black distribution within the Army.
