After reading this I'm slightly confused because I thought recruiting, at least for SF was under the level that they wanted for last year? Maybe thats some random fact that I made up in my head, it happens on occasion. But if its actually true I wonder how they plan on increasing the size if they can't make recruiting quotas as it is.

The article didnt say they were specifically inreasing the numbers of SF. They are increasing all SOF numbers which covers alot more then just the Special Forces Groups.
There is also a greater need for others in SOCOM.

Actually they did say they will, although it is over 4 years so that makes it a little easier. But I'm still curious about it.
