The U.S. Army is raising its maximum enlistment age to forty-two, aligning with the Air Force and Space Force, to tap into older workers with valuable skills and leadership experience. This move aims to widen the recruiting pool amid the ongoing conflict with Iran. The change also drops the need for waivers on a single past marijuana or drug paraphernalia conviction. Public concern over a possible draft is growing, but no conscription is in place. The Army is adapting fast to keep the force strong as the situation evolves, with about one thousand paratroopers heading to the Middle East and diplomatic talks picking up.
