Recently, the average contracts per day have also exceeded last year’s levels by as much as 56% during the same period, according to the Army.


“I’m incredibly proud of our U.S. Army recruiters and drill sergeants,” Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told told “Fox & Friends” that there is a new wave of patriotism within America’s youth, leading to higher recruitment in all military branches.

He also reported a morale shift is across all branches.

“It’s also the Air Force, it’s also the Navy, it is also the Marine Corps, Coast Guard and, as the president says, law enforcement,” he said.
