Draft plan lowers guard strength and reshapes divisions
About 287,000 men would be available under the new draft plan, far less than the 375,000 last June when volunteers surged into recruiting offices to avoid the draft. Prewar reserve strength was not available, with a national guard bureau spokesman stating the plan does not alter basic guard organization but expands field artillery and infantry units. The proposed structure envisions thirteen divisions at 73 percent strength totaling 175,500, fourteen divisions totaling 102, and 192,600 in non divisional combat supports plus 4,000 for state headquarters. The organized reserve would have twenty five class B divisions totaling 96,900.
