- Secretary Phelan emphasized that today’s global environment is more challenging and competitive than it has been in many years, and that our strongest resource in meeting these challenges is our personnel.
- Other branches, including the Army and Coast Guard, also exceeded their 2025 recruiting targets, signaling a wider trend of improved military enlistment.
