MAP 2: RECRUITING CENTERS

The most crucial tool of the military is arguably human labor. According to the latest DoD report, enlistment in the military is at an all time low, calling for redoubled recruitment efforts. This is especially true as ongoing war efforts against Venezuela may call for boots on the ground. This map explores how those efforts play out across the country. Featured locations include marine corps and air force career centers(often found in strip malls and residential areas), and recruitment brigades(typically more isolated). Recruitment offices are so ubiquitous that this map is incomplete, and will remain as such. For further research, simply visit the air force recruitment website and enter a zip code.

A breakdown of the numbers:

  • Running total: 132 locations
  • 17 Special Forces Recruiting Offices, 10 states.
  • 6 Recruiting Brigade Regional Headquarters, 6 states
  • 1st Bde, 7 locations, 4 states
