Report: Military Recruitment 2008 – Significant Gap in Army's Quality and Quantity Goals

“A new National Priorities Project (NPP) analysis highlights a significant gap in the Army’s 2008 quantity and quality goals…This analysis is based on data obtained from the Department of Defense (Army Recruiting Command) through a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the National Priorities Project. The Department of Defense provided the data for every non-prior service, active-duty Army accession by ZIP Code with race, ethnicity, gender, birth date, citizenship, educational attainment and score on the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) for Fiscal Year 2008. Demographic data used in the study were purchased from Claritas, a leading marketing and demographic data company. Population estimates from the Census Bureau were also used. To access the data by state, county, or zip code, go to the NPP Database.”
