Prospects of Guardsmen Call-Up Seen Remote in Berlin Tense Era
Washington dispatch notes current call-ups are unlikely to grow into large mobilizations. Regular Army strength stands at 16 divisions, with eight ready on arrival in Europe or the United States and 5 in Europe plus one in Korea. A Berlin crisis could spur reserve use, but planners say no immediate deployment. Pre-stocked West Germany arms and airlift plans exist, yet actual troop transport capacity remains limited until capacity is tripled.
