Enlistment Bar Lifted For Vermont Army Guard
Maj. Gen. Reginald M. Cramb announced the ban on enlistment of non-prior service personnel in the Vermont Army National Guard has been lifted. The nationwide limit was to cut strength from 417,000 to 400,000 by June 1968 but attrition has reduced rosters. Enlistment quotas are set for understrength units at about one per day, with new enlistees undergoing up to six months of training. Guardsmen are 1-D, but can be called to active duty if units activate. Nineteen Guardsmen are on active duty, 169 in Vietnam. Vermonters will be placed on a waiting list and processed by chron. order at local armories.
