The Target Army (or Targarmy for short) is the latest outcome of the current economic crisis. American Target stores have now lent their horde of employees to the national defense cause. Due to budget cutbacks on military spending, the United States Army has begun an intensive training program to enable the workers of the many Target stores within the United States to help in ammunitions transfer, and is even giving them basic military training. Due to the seriousness of budget cuts, this Targarmy will need to be out on the lines doing their duty within 10 weeks. Shown above is the Vallejo, California Base where Karen Johnson is shown training others on ammunition packaging while simultaneously training workers on appropriate handgun usage. The original Target in Roseville, Minnesota will act as the corps' headquarters. Johnson says, "I have NO idea why we were chosen, but I'll do my best to pack up these grenades!"

I had no clue that my local Target employees were actually soldiers in training. The government has done a great job keeping this program under wraps.
