The
Washington’s plan for a yearly draft in 1778
George Washington proposed an annual draft of men to serve until January each year with reenlistment required by October. Reenlistment would be encouraged by a $25 bounty, and exact returns would inform Congress of regiment deficiencies to supply quotas. He argued it could sustain an established army despite not being ideal.
