The latest recruiting and retention figures released Tuesday by the Pentagon show November as a strong recruiting month for each service and all reserve components except the Army and Navy Reserves. The Air Force and Air Force Reserve Command each recruited 100 percent of their goals. The Air National Guard, which struggled somewhat last year, posted the best record of all, taking in 115 percent of its goal.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
