Military sees sharp rise in female recruits across all branches in 2025

First on Fox: In Fiscal Year 2025, women military recruits have increased rapidly in all service branches so far.

According to the Pentagon data viewed by Fox News Digital, about 7,260 more women have listed this financial year so far compared to this financial year compared to this financial year.

A defense officer said, “There is a media story that women recruitment numbers have either fallen or the same under secretary Hegseth and President Trump are 100% fake news.” “Leadership cases and women are excited to serve under the strong leadership of Secretary Hegseth and President Trump.”

The Army had crossed its overall recruitment goals in June, four months before the end of the financial year: The service branch announced that it had signed contracts with over 61,000 future soldiers, which is more than 10% of the 55,000 recruitments targeted in FY 2024.

After record-less recruitment in 2022, in 2024 the trend began to reversed, with the armed forces, 12.5% more personnel were brought compared to the year. In 2025, all service branches are on track to meet or cross their recruitment goals.

This year, a survey by the Defense Department found that 87% of people between the ages of 16 and 21 were probably not considering military service.

Three out of four were concerned about physical injuries and two -thirds were concerned about emotional tolls. However, Hegseth’s team has focused on a “trump bump” and a return on the “warfighter” to increase the recruitment, despite the widespread young spirit.

“They see the leadership … who says,” We want you to be a warrior. We are not doing this politically right garbage. We are fighting the war, “Hegseth said during a visit to Normandi in June.

Additionally, the Congress passed three direct increments for soldiers between 4% and 5%, and additional 10% for junior listed soldiers.

“Brunette has given priority to lethargy and mission’s readiness on political manuscript. This is why women, and men, are more relying on their leadership and are more ready to serve,” rapes. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla, said an Air Force veteran.

Hegseth has come under media investigation for his comments about his comments about women in war and removal of many women serving in top Pentagon roles under the Biden administration. Their leadership claims that they do not discriminate: they have also removed men from top roles.

Prior to his confirmation, the Secretary had publicly questioned the effectiveness of women involving women in direct ground fighter roles – such integration complicated operations and compromised the effectiveness of the battlefield.

During his confirmation hearing, Hegseth explained that they believe that women should be allowed to serve in war, but should meet the same fitness standards as men.

Recently, Hegseth named Adam Yate Davids from the Superintendent of Navy Academy as Deputy Chief of Navy Operations. While some accused led to de-removing a female leader, officials insisted that the step was a promotion: David is now on a path that can motivate him to become four-star admiral.

This week, critics seized a moment in a CNN interview with a pastor, Douglas Wilson, which is associated with the sect of Hegseth’s church, which was repeated by the secretary.

Wilson said in an interview, “There are women who come out of people.” “Wife and mother, who is the chief executive of the house, is assigned to three or four or five eternal spirits.”

In another moment of interview, a member of the sect, Josh Prince, was asked if he had seen his wife Amy as his same. “Yes and no,” he replied.

“He is the head of our house and I present him,” Amy said.

“I am not a white nationalist, I am not fascist, I am not racist, I am not a misunderstanding,” Wilson said insisting.

In his repost of the clip, Hegseth said, “All of Christ for all life.”
