The Army announced plans Tuesday to establish a “prep course” for potential recruits who fall below the Army’s minimum academic requirements and exceed weight and body fat percentage caps amidst a historic recruiting crisis.

Created in response to a “precipitous” decline in the number of young recruits who meet the Army’s enlistment requirements, the 90-day Future Soldier Preparatory Course pilot program, which begins in August, will help prospective service members lose weight and improve their academic performance, the Army said in a statement. Only 23% of young Americans are eligible to enlist based on weight and educational metrics, according to the Army.
