WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of the Army signed over 68,000 new active-duty soldiers, exceeding its recruiting mission.

“We are extremely proud of the Army’s recruiting efforts,” said Secretary of the Army, Ryan D. McCarthy. “We changed the way we do business and got results. We are ensuring the Army is ready now and investing in the future.”

The Army developed 44 virtual recruiting stations that focus on reaching eligible individuals using social media and texting.

Two new outreach teams, the Army Esports Team, and the Warrior Fitness Team were established this year. The esports team has initiated some of the highest lead-generating events in the history of the all-volunteer force.
