Army to cut strength as Vietnam pullback shifts force
AP reports the Army will reduce strength to about 13,000 as part of a broader manpower cut tied to Vietnam withdrawal. The plan lowers overall Army numbers by roughly 29,501 and aims for savings around 130 million in August draft costs amid a projected 1.5 million manpower pool. Also noted: 5,600 soldiers will not be replaced and 4,000 more will be phased out without reappointment. The moves align with Naxon administration policies and budgetary constraints.
