JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. — The Army celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Future Soldier Preparatory Course on Tuesday. The pilot program helps America’s youth overcome academic and physical fitness
One year after implementation, the Army’s fitness and academic prep course has produced nearly 9,000 graduates, a 95% success rate that chips away at the Army’s recruiting struggles, the Army said Tuesday.
The Army launched the Future Soldier Preparatory Course on Aug. 8, 2022, as a result of increased difficulty recruiting qualified people in recent years, which service officials have said is rooted partly in having an all-volunteer force made worse by the coronavirus pandemic.
