Beim Modern War Institute findet sich ein Artikel, der beschreibt, dass die US-Armee Probleme hat, Nachwuchs zu rekrutieren: „A new era of labor competition is occurring among employers and the emerging regional economies that are building up around them for an educated, knowledgeable, and healthy workforce. […] For the first time since 2005 the Army missed its recruiting goal in 2018, falling 6,500 active-duty recruits short of its goal for the fiscal year; that same year saw a deficit of eight thousand in the National Guard and nine thousand in the Army Reserve.” (jw)
