What is the author’s purpose in the section ""Recruiting in new places""

History

Answer:

The author's purpose is to highlight the efforts made by army recruiters in getting new recruits from schools and communities that have little enlistment of soldiers.

Explanation:

The article, 'Who are fighting American wars'? by Dave Philipps and Tim Arango, discusses the challenges faced by the army as it pertains to recruitment. The army noticed that there was a skewed attribute in the number of people applying to be soldiers, most coming from the same communities, or families where a parent or relative was once a soldier. The authors noted that such a challenge would not help the army who needs more recruits.

The subheading, 'Recruiting in new places', highlights the efforts made by the military recruiters, to first understand the challenge as seen in the visit of the Army Secretary Ryan D.  McCarthy who visited officials from the  Los Angeles Unified School District to enable them get more students to join the military. Secondly, the recruiters had to actively seek out new recruits. The few recruits discussed had to put in a lot of thinking before making the decision to join the military or opt out.

<span>C. Baby Boomers.

The period from 1946 to 1964 is known as the "baby boom" period in the United States.  More babies were born in America than ever before in 1946, and the high birth rates continued for a number of years.  Birth rates in the late 1940s and 1950s were much higher than they had been before, especially during the very low years of the Great Depression and World War II.

The birth rate in the US in 1935, in the midst of the Depression, was 18.7 births per 1,000 members of the population. At the peak of the Baby Boom in the 1950s, the birth rate reached over 25 births per 1,000 members of the population. In the present decade (the 2010s), the birth rate has dropped to around 12 births per 1,000 members of the population. </span>

Debora [2.8K]
During the period between 1775 and 180, many African Americans gained freedom from slavery, yet during the same period, the institution of slavery expanded. The changes took place in different locations in the United States of America. The Northern states opposed slavery while the Southern states still enforced slavery. Many African American slaves managed to escape from the South to the North where they were freed from slavery. The freed African-American slaves spent their time working towards helping the slaves in the Southern states escape towards the North. The slaves in the South were forced to work on the tobacco and cotton plantations. They bided their time  until they were able to escape.
