SUMMARY
Military recruitment has arrived at its most competitive and challenging landscape since the instatement of the All-Volunteer Force in 1974. Compounding political, social, and economical variables have worked only to the detriment of military enlistment goals. In order to recruit enough Marines to sustain Congress' expected level of readiness, the Marine Corps had to surpass the other service branches and establish the highest brand relevance among the youth audience from both a generational and diversity perspective. Due to their successful integrated marketing efforts, the Marine Corps made their recruitment goals.
