It cites only 26.5 percent of 2.5 million service members voting in 1970 and notes Pentagon confusion over Armed Forces Registration Month. The study urges stronger registration and voting promotion within DoD.

A two year study of the 30th Infantry Division of the North Carolina National Guard examines reducing mobilization training and deployment time from 10 to 6 weeks. State Adjutant Gen. Fred L. Davis notes the effort could guide future guard practices as 45 percent of the nation's military personnel may be National Guard and reserve members by July 1, 1972.
