Culver urges focus on Guard and Reserve manpower
Senator John Culver of Iowa urged renewed Congressional and Defense Department attention to Army Reserve and National Guard staffing. He blamed past neglect during the all volunteer force for shortages, noting the Iowa Guard is at about 60 percent of its authorized strength and that delays in deploying combat-ready reserve units often stem from under manning before mobilization. He backed reenlistment incentives and opposed drafts into Selected Reserves or the Individual Ready Reserve.
