State Military Recruitment Rates
This table shows the number of military recruits and recruitment rates for each state ranked by the recruitment rate.
The recruitment rate is the number of military recruits per 1,000 of the 18-24 year old population. Branches include Army, Navy and Air Force Active Duty and Army Reserves. Other branches did not provide data and the Marines did not provide adequate data by location of recruit. Numbers are for FY2004. Data and statistics are available at zip code, school, county and state level on the NPP Database.
