President Truman urged a full year of universal military training for 17 to 20 year olds to keep the United States militarily strong. He called for a small professional force, a greatly expanded National Guard and organized reserve, and a general reserve drawn from trained male citizens. The plan would place graduates into a six year general reserve before second reserve status.
