Alternatives sought to all volunteer military
A Senate Budget Committee hearing on alternatives to the all volunteer force explored national service options. The study by William R. King warned recruiting and reserve shortfalls will worsen as youth pools shrink and civilian pay rises. Proposals included a minimally compulsory national service and a backup draft, with debate on the balance between voluntary service and broader public needs.
