Motives Of Enlistees Studied Involuntary Volunteering Under Scrutiny
Army analysts say four of five young men who joined last year did so to avoid the draft, not as true volunteers, signaling the persistent challenge to a fully volunteer force. The study, tied to Nixon’s mid 1973 goal, estimates about 64,000 new entrants in the National Guard and reserve were enlisted, with 73,000 volunteers draft motivated and 159,000 draftees among 296,000. Pentagon manpower chief Roger Kelley offered a slightly brighter view, suggesting about half of enlisted volunteers are true volunteers, absent a broader service scope. Authority seeks pay hikes of roughly $1.5 billion to lure more volunteers, as re-enlistments and ROTC enrollments slump.
