Guard Leaders Back Shorter Training Plan
National Guard Association head Maj. Gen. E. A. Walsh urged a watered down program for guardsmen and reservists arguing a five to six week training cycle could replace six months. He disputed Army chief Taylor and Defense Secretary Wilson, who defended six months active duty and a Sunday drill week. He noted the current 11 week plan hinges on leaves and a one month annual encampment. The House Armed Services subcommittee began hearings with Brucker and Taylor opposing the watered down proposal.
