Combat Arms have been overstaffed with Officers for years. Though it’s to be expected. As most “Recruitment Too-“ I mean Movies and Games involving the Military are revolving around the Combat MOS.
While the MOS that are frankly just as critical for sustained Combat Operations have been shortchanged. Signal Corps, Logistics, Finance etc.
Can’t fight a War if your Army can’t talk to each other, get food or ammo, and isn’t being paid.
Combat Arms is where OFFICERS GO TO GET AHEAD IN RANK...that is all!!!! They are there for the medals...NOTE: I have a RETIRED MAJOR w/PURPLE HEART who served in 1st Gulf War...His JOB...ARTILLERY OFFICER...HIS AWARD---BRONZE STAR (NEVER SAW COMBAT)...
NOTE: A US MARINE (RO) RADIO OPERATOR-3 TOURS KHE SANH, VIETNAM got so upset that officers who were not in the fight getting bronze stars AND HIS PLATOON COMMANDER SAID DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID...
'NOUGH SAID...and if ANYONE HAS THEIR TENDIES IN TWIST...SO BE IT!!!!!!!
