Brig. Gen. Amrhein Says Space Force is Exceeding Recruiting Goals

Sept. 18, 2024 | By Tobias Naegele

Brig. Gen. Chris “Bammer” Amrhein, commander of Air Force Recruiting Command, says the U.S. Air Force and Space Force exceeded recruiting goals for fiscal 2027, but have greatly increased the goal for fiscal 2025, which starts Oct. 1. More recruiters, and a larger pool in the delayed entry program will help, but the goal for 2025 will rise by almost 20 percent. 

Amrhein spoke with Air & Space Forces Magazine’s Editor in Chief, Tobias Naegele, at AFA’s 2024 Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Md.
