But while recent Army numbers do point to a hot streak for enlistments, former Army officials and an expert on personnel issues noted that the Army’s recruiting numbers had started to rebound last year after the Army rolled out several major revamps of its recruiting enterprise, prior to Trump’s election.

It stores reams of potentially sensitive data, from confidential information about employees who want to form unions to proprietary business information. But according to an official whistleblower disclosure shared with Congress and other federal overseers that was obtained by NPR, subsequent interviews with the whistleblower and records of internal communications, technical staff members were alarmed about what DOGE engineers did when they were granted access, particularly when those staffers noticed a spike in data leaving the agency.
