The U.S. Army Recruiting Command kicked off its second Army National Hiring Days campaign last week, following the inaugural campaign that started last year during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Army is in the middle of a plan to study what makes new soldiers most prone to injury, while putting teams of nutritionists and fitness coaches into every brigade.
Leaders are voicing their support for a push to re-think training and maintenance of soldiers themselves, and to treat them as elite athletes preparing for a high-end fight.
