Plans for Organized Reserve to Mobilize 4 Million Men
Washington reports comprehensive plans for the organized reserve of the army to mobilize over 4,000,000 fighting men. Twenty seven reserve divisions would form three national land defense armies with decentralized command. Officers from the reserve corps would fill 46,000 officer slots by July 1, with non commissioned enlisted personnel to follow. Allocations by corps list specific regional divisions across the United States. The reserve would be used only by explicit congressional action and likely only in national emergencies.
