  • The US Army is telling soldiers kicked out over COVID-19 vaccinations that they can come back.
  • The Army missed its recruiting goal by about 25% in 2022.
  • An Army official said Gen Z's distrust in institutions may be causing a recruiting decline.

The US Army is having such a difficult time recruiting that it's sending soldiers who were kicked out for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19 instructions on how to rejoin.

The Army sent the letters to about 1,900 active-duty soldiers who were separated for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the military blog Task and Purpose. Bryce Dubee, an Army spokesperson, told the blog that the letters were sent "specifically as part of the COVID mandate recession process."

A January 2023 Department of Defense memo rescinded the military rules that required service members to get vaccinated against COVID-19, which the department put in place in August and November 2021. The memo said that no one serving in the armed forces will be separated for refusing to take the vaccine if they seek a religious, administrative, or medical accommodation.

Still, the memo said that the department will continue to "promote and encourage" vaccination for all service members.
