War Department Plans to Release Selectees and Guardsmen
The War Department announced plans to release selectees and national guardsmen after 14 to 18 months of service unless the international situation worsens. Under Roosevelt’s extension bill, some could remain for 30 months, with regulars kept to 45 months. By Dec. 10 about 200,000 will be released, prioritizing hardship, age 28+, and marriage needs.
