The U.S. Army recognizes that the recruiting environment has a significant impact on its ability to recruit, especially when the unemployment rate is lower, casualty rates increase, or operational difficulties mount.

The resulting model forecasts whether the Army is likely to face a difficult or easy recruiting environment.
