Shift of Draft Emphasis To Younger Men Advocated
Washington AP reports a Defense Department study urges redesigning the draft to induct the youngest eligible men first, focusing on ages 19 to 20 as combat commanders prefer younger troops and about eight in ten volunteers are under 20. The study notes no quick move to an all volunteer force and cites high costs to attract volunteers, with 3 million in service now and Korea-era force levels guiding needs. The present deferment system is deemed basically sound.
