enlistment

In response to a difficult recruiting environment, the Army obtained legislative authority to increase the recruiting incentives Enlistment Bonus (EB) program from $20K to $40K. This financial incentive targets high quality recruits willing to enlist in high priority military occupational specialties (MOS) for relatively long enlistment terms. The increased incentives may expand the recruiting market, and they may draw applicants from other MOS into ones carrying the higher incentives.
