Army Rookies Teen-Agers May Drill Together
The Defense Secretary approved a bargain plan to train 18 and 19 year olds with draftees at present avoiding a separate universal military training system. The plan aims to quickly build trained reserves while delaying full UMT, with six months basic training proposed for youths under a Senate plan and release to join National Guard or reserves. Forrestal supports UMT eventually and says funding needs remain within current request. Congress weighs draft vs. preparedness and industry drafting in wartime.
