The numbers tell the story. Americans are answering the call, and Army recruiters are delivering. Congratulations to our recruiters, Soldiers and Future Soldiers on these recruiting milestones. They stand ready to strengthen the Joint Force and answer the Nation’s call, whenever, wherever.
For the first time in FIFTEEN YEARS, our Special Forces recruiters achieved their mission of 2,940 candidates.
And, for the first time in a DECADE, the U.S. Army Reserves have met their mission of 14,322 future Soldiers in September - two weeks ahead of schedule.
The Warriors want IN!
Thank you President Trump, this only happens with your leadership. The spirit is back!
And great work and congratulations @USArmy.

It’s not about how well you can shoot, but how well you can teach. Drill sergeants are the premier marksmanship coaches for the @usarmy and the best of the best will prove they can teach & coach trainees on marksmanship as part of the 2026 Drill Sergeant of the Year competition.
