Pentagon studies lump sum enlistment bonus to cut draft reliance
The Pentagon and a presidential commission study a lump sum enlistment bonus likely worth several thousand dollars to reduce draft reliance and build all volunteer armed services. Proposals include enhanced education benefits, housing, pay boosts, and sharper recruiting methods as the Nixon administration pursues higher military salaries. A Gates-led commission tracks progress for a November report, while current pay reforms edge toward a September Capitol Hill briefing for possible early next year enactment.
