By Tribune news services
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A new Army program in which the National Guard helps recruit for the active-duty Army has brought more than 500 sign-ups in its first three months, officials said Thursday.
The results surpass Army expectations of 1,600 being brought in during the one-year pilot program launched Oct. 1, a Guard spokeswoman said.
The Defense Department also announced that all services met or exceeded their recruiting goals in December.
Army Secretary Pete Geren said that while recruiting is a challenge, he expects the service to meet its target for the year.
