U.S. military suicides decreased by 11% in 2024, with 471 deaths across active duty, reserves, and National Guard. This drop occurred under Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, following a spike in 2023. However, active duty rates have been rising since 2011, while Guard and Reserve numbers remained relatively stable. The majority of those who took their lives were young, enlisted men with mental health issues, job stress, or relationship problems. The Department is focusing on resilience and support to continue reducing suicide rates.
