The command of the us armed forces said in July 2022 faced with the most difficult period in terms of recruitment over the past decade. Young Americans don't want to be hired into military service under the contract. So the Pentagon has no choice as to increase the financial incentives for signing a contract.
In 2022 in the U.S. army has listed 20 thousand soldiers less than the planned number. In July 2023, the number of recruits will shrink even more. The US command explains the lack of recruits competition from the private sector and the continuing problems with the pandemic coronavirus.
According to the official Talkusa sparks, which is responsible for the recruits in one of the States of the United States, the coronavirus has created serious problems for the staff. So, the military could not go to school for presentations of military service among high school students. Was suspended sporting events, fairs and other crowded during which they were traditionally recruited recruits.
Now the American army not only increases the salary of the soldiers, but also offers bonuses for enlistment for military service in the amount of 50 thousand dollars. In addition, recruits can get the opportunity to choose the future place of service, depending on their qualifications.
Us military officials claim that such a system of bonuses as they are now doing recruitment in 2022 very advantageous and comfortable. "Now is the time to enlist in the army," says a military official sparks.
At the same time, it is unlikely the us army will be able to solve the problem of recruiting recruits in the near future. The prestige of military service falls, and given the difficult political and military situation in the world, it becomes a lot more dangerous for the life of the ordinary soldier, than before, when the military dominance of the United States, no one in doubt. In the event of a collision with the major powers of the loss of the American army are expected to be quite different than long-term military-police operations in third world countries.
