Experts and former top officials said the reorganized Recruiting Command <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/recruiting\/2023\/11\/08\/army-recruiting-reforms-go-back-to-the-future-to-fix-ongoing-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\">will look similar to Accessions Command<\/a>, a three-star headquarters that was eliminated in 2012 as part of wide-reaching budget cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/recruiting\/2023\/11\/08\/army-recruiting-reforms-go-back-to-the-future-to-fix-ongoing-crisis\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/accessionscommand.jpeg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Army recruiting reforms go \u2018back to the future\u2019 to fix ongoing crisis<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army appears to have modeled recruiting reforms after a defunct organization that fell victim to budget cuts, not performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wide-ranging overhaul came after the service studied its recruiting performance and structures, ultimately finding its performance had steadily declined due to shifts in the labor market and a tendency to double down on existing practices in tough times rather than changing them. That\u2019s why intermediate measures to boost recruiting and marketing \u2014 such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2022\/08\/31\/prep-course-pilot-breaks-basic-training-norms-and-just-might-work\/\" target=\"_blank\">Future Soldier Prep Course<\/a> and the return of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2023\/03\/08\/how-embracing-be-all-you-can-be-resurrected-army-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cBe all you can be\u201d slogan amid a marketing rebirth<\/a> \u2014 were unable to reverse the recruiting slide. The Army missed its recruiting goal again in fiscal year 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even though new recruiting practices are on the horizon, the Army has run into problems sourcing enough recruiters to keep the ranks filled in the interim. The service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2023\/11\/01\/army-apologizes-for-sending-soldiers-last-minute-recruiting-orders\/\" target=\"_blank\">apologized in November<\/a> after sending no-notice involuntary recruiting school orders to hundreds of soldiers. It has also boosted incentives for new recruiters, including accelerated promotion opportunities and bonus pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army is trying to overhaul
