Military

In recent years, the US Army has faced a recruiting crisis, failing to add enough enlisted soldiers to its ranks.

Recruiting new Marines can be so challenging in parts of the US that some recruiters have resorted to fraud to meet their monthly goals.

The US military captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife during a dramatic raid in Caracas.

Matthew Partyka was built for the infantry, not sales.

The young, blue-eyed Marine sergeant was a quiet introvert, almost sphinx-like, with a soft smile. He thrived in the brotherhood of combat units.

Then the Corps made him a recruiter, leaving Partyka with no choice: When the Corps calls, Marines answer.
