Navy Plans To Call 31 000 Reservists Next Year
The Navy announced plans to mobilize 31 000 enlisted reserves and an undisclosed number of reserve officers in early 1951, with 5 000 reserve personnel to be placed on active duty monthly thereafter. About half of the enlisted mobilizations come from January 8 petty officers and half from other pay grades, with officers to be called mainly general duty ranks below lieutenant commander. The Navy also said it would begin releasing about 5 000 enlisted reserves monthly who were involuntarily called, and in October 1951, free 1 800 officers monthly who were also involuntarily called. The plan aims to build fleet strength without full mobilization, relying on recruiting and untrained reserve personnel rather than the draft.
