| WASHINGTON — More than 1,200 Army recruiters and assistants are under investigation on suspicion of fraud involving tens of millions of dollars from a program aimed at increasing recruitment during the Iraq war, according to papers released Monday by a congressional panel. | |
| One person, now under prosecution, was fraudulently paid $275,000 under the recruitment program, and four others received more than $100,000 each, according to the documents, which were released by a subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. | One person, now under prosecution, was fraudulently paid $275,000 under the recruitment program, and four others received more than $100,000 each, according to the documents, which were released by a subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. |

The recruiting program was initiated in 2005 at the height of the Iraq war to address an enlistment shortfall in the Army National Guard. | The panel, the Financial and Contracting Oversight Subcommittee, is scheduled to hold a hearing on Tuesday to address the case.
