The U.S. Army Is In ‘Crisis’
National Security Jounral ^ | 11/7/2025 | Andrew Latham

Posted on 11/07/2025 12:03:02 PM PST by whyilovetexas111

The U.S. Army is not in “terminal decline” but at a “classical crisis”—a decisive turning point. Critics see an “obsolete” force, but the author points to historical parallels (post-WWI, post-WWII, and the post-Vietnam “Hollow Army”) where the Army successfully renewed itself. Signs of this “metamorphosis,” like the SkyFoundry drone initiative (aiming for 10,000/month by 2026), show the Army is adapting, not collapsing, and will emerge smaller but more lethal.

I don’t understand what this article is about. The Army met the recruiting goals early.

Hey. You. Yes,you.

Way back in 1989, we left the MEPS in Atlanta with a Bus. Load. After stopping at a Mom-And-Pop fried chicken place (Everybody there was so nice, they knew where we were going, I'm sure they had a DoD contract)

Next stop was Ft. Jackson, to let off everyone going in the Army.

There were seven of us who rode the bus all the way to Parris Island. Except for the one female, all of us were in the same platoon.

Army wasn't in "crisis" then, and it's not now.

So, whyilovetexas111, I would LOVE to hear YOUR story about going to Boot Camp. Or OCS.

What, you don't have one? Imagine that!

So the Navy was in "crisis" on 10/22 (Ruger Day) and now the Army is in "crisis".

You better not start one that says my Marine Corps is in "crisis", because you will have Hell poured on your head.

We've been in "crisis" for 250 years.We always get the leftovers. But we can do more with less.

The military suffered mission drift, which has led to being unprepared for war. Pete and his new command structure will need to be in a hurry every day.

Active duty army is at 453,000 troops. Way too small and they plan to make it smaller. Goal is 360,000. WTF.
