The Department of Defense highlighted significant recruitment growth, particularly in female enlistees, with numbers rising from 16,000 to over 24,000. The DOD Press Secretary emphasized that these figures reflect a strong response to the military's return to traditional values under current leadership. He noted that all branches, including the Army, Air Force, and Navy, are meeting recruitment metrics ahead of schedule. However, it was later revealed that the images used in the promotional video to illustrate these claims were AI-generated, marked by Grok watermarks.
Happy to be with you and happy to highlight this incredible success that we are seeing across our armed forces women in particular. These numbers are fantastic.
Under the previous administration, we had about 16,000 female recruits last year. Now, we've got upwards of 24,000. This is a nearly 7,000 person increase in female recruits alone.
The Army, the Air Force, the Navy, everyone is hitting their metrics early; and it is a testament to Secretary Hegseth and President Trump's leadership.
They want to get back to basics, and that's what we're doing here at DOD; and the numbers are just proof in the pudding.
