Selective Service Calls for 19,000 to Armed Forces
The April draft plan calls for 15,000 men to the Army and 4,000 to the Marine Corps. Draft activity is expected to rise after this fiscal year as Reservists, National Guardsmen, and draftees complete active duty. Army aviation is expanding as a ground force support, with helicopters evacuating 6,000 casualties in Korea.
