The U.S. military, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, continues to demonstrate remarkable success and instill confidence in its operations.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Army proudly announced that it had achieved its recruiting targets for the fiscal year 2025, a full four months ahead of schedule. This accomplishment is a testament to the effective strategies and leadership that have been implemented.
According to Western Journal, the Army has secured over 61,000 new contracts, surpassing the initial goal of 55,000 set for fiscal year 2024 under the previous administration of Joe Biden. This represents a 10 percent increase, highlighting a significant improvement in recruitment efforts.
The Army reported that the average number of contracts signed per day exceeded last year's figures by up to 56 percent during the same period. Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll expressed his pride in the achievement, stating, Im incredibly proud of our U.S. Army recruiters and drill sergeants, and acknowledged their role in helping the Army meet its recruiting goals ahead of schedule.
Driscoll also extended his gratitude to President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for their leadership, saying, I want to thank the commander in chief, President Trump, and Secretary of Defense Hegseth for their decisive leadership and support in equipping, training and supporting these future soldiers as they face a world of global uncertainty and complex threats.
The numbers speak for themselves, illustrating the positive impact of the current administration's policies. Even before President Trump's inauguration, there was a palpable sense of optimism among recruits, anticipating a shift in the military's direction. In February, Secretary Hegseth announced record-breaking recruitment figures, with December and January marking the best recruitment months in 12 and 15 years, respectively.
President Trump has taken decisive action to ensure the military operates effectively. On January 27, he issued an executive order to end the previous administration's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, which were seen as detrimental to military readiness. Additionally, another executive order was signed to prohibit "transgender" individuals from serving, emphasizing the importance of physical and mental preparedness for service members.
The previous administration's focus on diversity and inclusion was criticized for turning the military into a platform for leftist ideologies, rather than preparing soldiers to defend the nation. This shift in priorities was seen as a potential weakness by adversaries, who observed the military's focus on social issues rather than combat readiness.
The recent recruitment success and executive orders represent a victory not only for President Trump but also for the American people. These developments underscore the importance of a strong and capable military, ready to face global challenges and protect the nation's interests.
