Recruiters skipped steps to screen out extremist enlistees, IG says

"The office reviewed a statistical sample of recruits from 2021 and 2022 and found that 53 of them, or 41%, weren’t asked according to policy about their ties to extremist groups or gangs. Recruiters didn’t administer screening forms in 40% of cases when they should have, and they didn’t complete required tattoo screenings nor fingerprint checks for 9% of applicants. In one case, a recruiter didn’t initiate a background investigation into an applicant who should’ve been subject to one."
