U.S. Army Recruiters Under Investigation in Alleged Fraud Scheme

Army criminal investigators launched a probe into allegations that National Guard, Army, and Army Reserve recruiters defrauded a recruitment incentives program. Over 1,200 people are under investigation including 800 soldiers, 200 officers, two generals, and 18 colonels.

In 2005, the Army and National Guard launched the Recruiting Assistance Program in order to meet the Armed Forces recruitment demands. That year was around the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts and the Armed Forces experienced low recruitment because of increased casualties.
