Summary:

The military has overstated its future recruiting challenges--the number of eligible high-school graduates is actually expected to grow steadily in coming years--and current recruiting operations are plagued by inefficiencies, with half the network of 6,000 recruiting offices supplying just 13.5 percent of enlistees. Moreover, the military services plan to add more recruiters even though fewer recruits are needed to support the smaller military force resulting from downsizing. Although many studies have suggested ways to consolidate or eliminate layers of management to cut costs, the services have been reluctant to change existing organizational structures.
