The army is seeking to bring retired soldiers back to work, according to a service-wide directive published last week.

ā€œThe All Army Activities (ALARACT) document describes how Army retirees can find and apply for open positions and aims to maintain a sufficient number of personnel to fill all of the Armyā€™s authorized positions,ā€ reported The Daily Caller Friday. ā€œThe message comes as the service has publicly acknowledged struggles to balance a shrinking workforce with the demands of sprawling global mission sets as recruitment woes persist for a third year in a row.ā€

ā€œA review of commandsā€™ requests for [the] fill of authorized personnel vacancies, in conjunction with current Army manning guidance, prompted review of how the Army can fill key and critical position vacancies,ā€ says a key part of the ALARACT document. ā€œThe retiree recall program can be an effective tool to fill personnel shortages of authorized regular Army vacancies that are considered key and essential.ā€

The document also cites Executive Order 13223 from the Bush administration in 2001.

The news has taken social media by storm:

The army has yet to make a public statement about the ALARACT document, according to TimesNow.

Notably, during last September, the US Army War Collegeā€™s academic journal released a highly disturbing essay that made the case to reinstate conscription.
