Secret vote backs plan to cut National Guard divisions
A committee of regular Army, National Guard and Reserve generals secretly voted 11 to 10 to drop 15 National Guard divisions and four Reserve brigades. The measure, linked to McNamara’s defense reform, aims to reshuffle combat units into Guard formations and Reserve support posts, with wide opposition expected in Congress. The plan would reduce Guard divisions to eight and create 42 brigades, moving personnel into first line outfits as needed. It awaits review by Gen Harold Johnson and Secretary Stanley Resor before McNamara’s final sign-off.
