DOD Announces Monthly Recruiting/Retention Numbers
DOD Announces Monthly Recruiting/Retention Numbers
The Department of Defense announced today its recruiting and retention statistics by the active and reserve components for the month of May. _Active duty recruiting. _ The Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force met or exceeded their recruiting goals in May. The Navy's recruiting goal was 1,939, and it enlisted 1,947 (100 percent). The Marine Corps' goal was 1,843, and it recruited 1,904 (103 percent). The Air Force goal was 1,037, and it recruited 1,049 (101 percent). The Army missed its May recruiting goal of 6,700 by 1,661 recruits (75 percent). _Active duty retention_. All services met or exceeded their overall retention goals for May. The Air Force mid-career rate is below its goal, because of efforts to reduce its strength by offering voluntary separations in surplus skills. All the services are projected to meet their retention goals for the current fiscal year. _Reserve forces recruiting. _ The Air Force Reserve surpassed its recruiting goal for the seventh month in a row, enlisting 682 recruits against a goal of 606. The Army Reserve, Navy Reserve and Marine Corps Reserve brought aboard more recruits in May than in any previous month during this fiscal year, but still fell short of their monthly goals of 2,759, 1,143 and 1,038, respectively. The Army Reserve enlisted 2,269 (82 percent), the Navy Reserve brought aboard 1,074 (94 percent) and the Marine Corps Reserve had 914 (88 percent). The Army National Guard recruited 4,071 of its 5,791 goal (71 percent). Although the Air National Guard also fell short of its recruiting mission of 860 by enlisting 675 (78 percent), its year-to-date recruiting posture remained constant through May. The retention rate of the Air National Guard is very strong; and they remain within 1 percent of target. _Reserve forces retention_. The latest retention figures are for May. Army National Guard retention was 106.5 percent of the goal of 2,728 and Air National Guard retention was 105 percent of its goal of 882. The Army and Air National Guard are projected to meet their overall retention goals. Retention remains very high in the Air Force Reserve. Losses in all reserve components in April were lower than projected. We continue to monitor the effects of the increased use of our reserve components on retention rates. _Fiscal year-to-date summary is provided below:_ -Fiscal 2005 Active Duty Enlisted Recruiting from Oct. 1, 2004- May 31, 2005- _Quantity_ _Accessions_ _Goal_ _Army_ 40,964 49,285 _Navy_ 18,456 18,440 _Marine Corps_ 17,241 16,935 _Air Force_ 9,047 8,968 _Total_ 85,708 93,628 -Fiscal 2005 Reserve Component Enlisted Recruiting from Oct. 1, 2004- May 31, 2005- _Quantity_ _Accessions_ _Goal_ _Army National Guard_ 30,252 39,957 _Army Reserve_ 9,552 11,944 _Navy Reserve_ 6,484 7,397 _Marine Corps Reserve_ 5,154 5,139 _Air National Guard_ 5,492 6,866 _Air Force Reserve_ 5,831 5,001
