Defense Dept weighing 300000-strong boost in forces
The Defense Department plans a gradual buildup through heavier draft calls and volunteer recruitment to add about 300000 regulars, boosting total U S military manpower to roughly three million as President Johnson pursues a slow Viet Nam strategy. The plan emphasizes expanding the Army with another division and more independent infantry brigades while reservists and guardsmen are not immediately called up. The overall Viet Nam commitment may rise by 50000, with possible further reinforcements later this year, a shift that could strain U S strategic reserves.
