Defense Dept Study Urges Inducting Younger Recruits First
A Defense Department study recommends redesigning the draft to induct the youngest eligible men first, shifting eligibility to the 19 20 age bracket as combat commands prefer younger troops and volunteers skew under 20. The report, presented to the House Armed Services Committee, cautions the all volunteer force would be costly and unlikely this decade. The deferment system is deemed basically sound. In Arkansas, Little Rock leaders discuss regional unity with 28 agency and industry representatives forming a 13-county committee to advance ideas.
