Military recruitment tactics, with a particular focus on minority recruitment, have been a topic of debate and scrutiny in recent years. The military’s need for diversity and inclusivity has led to the development of a range of policies and programs aimed at encouraging young people from diverse backgrounds to join the armed forces. This research paper aims to examine military recruitment tactics, with a focus on minority recruitment, and evaluate their impact on the diversity and effectiveness of the military. The paper begins by providing historical context and an overview of military recruitment policies and practices, highlighting the importance of diversity in military recruitment. The paper then explores high school and college recruitment tactics, including the controversies and challenges associated with these methods. Specific approaches to minority recruitment are examined, including strategies for recruiting African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges and controversies in military recruitment, including ethical and legal issues, controversies surrounding recruitment in high schools and colleges, and challenges in recruiting and retaining diverse service members.
