🇺🇸US Army Raises Enlistment Age to 42 Amid Recruiting Crisis The US Army is significantly updating its enlistment standards, effective March 20, 2026. The maximum age will be raised to 42, and waiver requirements for a single marijuana possession conviction will be eliminated. This overhaul is a direct response to a persistent recruiting crisis that has seen the Army miss its goals for two consecutive years. The move aims to widen the eligibility pool to bolster military readiness. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
