United States Army

The US Army is undergoing changes with the recent decision to raise the enlistment age to 42 in an effort to boost recruitment. This move comes as numbers have lagged in recent years. Recently, two soldiers were injured by a brown bear during training in Alaska, and an aviation safety bill is set to be voted on. Additionally, an ex-Army analyst was arrested for allegedly transmitting classified documents to a journalist. The Army is also dealing with the aftermath of a midair collision near Washington, which has led to calls for improved aviation safety. Furthermore, a US soldier's wife was detained by ICE agents just days after their marriage, and the Pentagon has identified four injured soldiers from the conflict in Iran as Mexican nationals. Finally, Christopher LaNeve is set to become the acting Chief of Staff of the US Army, following the resignation of Randy George.
