The latest recruiting and retention numbers show that the Air National Guard has broken a five-month recruiting slump. For the month of March, ANG made 100 percent of its recruiting goal—and the goal was higher, not lower, than it had been over the past four months. Air Guard retention was also stable at 100 percent. All services exceeded their active duty recruiting and retention goals, and only the Army and Navy Reserves did not meet their recruiting goals.
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.
