Table 2: Army Recruitment by Region, 2007

The table below shows active-duty Army recruitment rates (recruits per 1,000 youth) by region for fiscal year 2007. It also shows the percentage of each region's recruits that were tier 1 - had at least a regular high school diploma - and were considered 'high quality.' The Department of Defense defines 'high quality' as recruits who are both tier 1 and have scored in the top half of the Armed Forces Qualification Test.

The statistics are part of an analysis of recruiting data obtained by NPP from the Department of Defense through a Freedom of Information Act request.
