INDIANAPOLIS  — U.S. Army recruiters in Indiana and other Midwestern states where recruitment has consistently fallen short are exploring other recruitment tactics as they try to convince young people to enlist.

Col. Eric Lopez, of the 3rd Recruiting Brigade, says recruiters are spreading their message on social media sites, like Instagram and Facebook.

According to the Indianapolis Star, data from the 3rd Recruiting Brigade shows that the group hasn’t been meeting recruiting goals since 2012.
