Army trainees compete at the Fit to Win obstacle course during basic training at Fort Jackson on September 29, 2022 in Columbia, South Carolina. Fort Jackson, the largest of the Army's four basic training facilities, trains 60 percent of the Army's new recruits. This past year, the Army has struggled to meet its recruiting goals, falling short by about 15,000 recruits or about 25 percent of its goal as it closed the fiscal year.
