SURVEY

As FYI, only because it is in your description but not in your survey. The Army Recruiting Command does not target urban vs suburban areas for recruiting. There are a lot of teachers that think that but it's roughly akin to redlining and the military would avoid that practice as it is illegal. They do their market analysis just like any large marketing organization such as General Motors would do. In that they use a GIS Map system to determine where the high schools are and where they are more than likely to snag recruits and they routinely close or open recruiting stations to be in the center of those areas. They would never open more recruiting stations in a economically depressed area as compared to a well to do area and if you look on a map at the dispersion of recruiting stations and recruiting batallions they are pretty well spaced. What ends up happening though is people have more of a propensity to volunteer in some areas vs others based on what they were taught in school by their teachers or taught at home via their parents. So recruiting results are in effect partly idealogically driven based on upbringing. Even with the imbalances across the board they get a really good cross section of America into the Army regardless of income, race, ethnicity or where they live. So whatever they do to balance out the imbalances works fairly well.

Done!

Might get a greater outcome if you provide slightly more detail of the broad statement “Army Recruiting” as it relates to your project and how. Ex., it’s purpose, what you hope to obtain, proposed outcome, etc. All the best and thank you in advance for your service young man!
