McNamara OKs Streamline Plan to Shift Reservists Into NG Units
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara approved a drastic streamlining moving 150000 Army reservists and units into the National Guard. Another 150000 would enter a manpower pool for emergencies, effectively dissolving the Organized Army Reserve. Guard readiness would be raised to deploy within about 60 days. 21 understrength divisions would be converted to reinforced Guard brigades. Savings could reach 100 million in year one, increasing later. A combined Air Force Reserve and Air Guard reorganization is planned.
