Army opens six month training program amid slow enlistments
Washington Oct 1 The Army launches a six month voluntary military training plan with 1038 volunteers signed up. It trails the needed 10,000 monthly pace to reach 90,000 in nine months and may miss the year end target of 5,000 new volunteers per month. Assistant Defense Secretary Burgess remains hopeful, expecting a surge once the program is marketed. If voluntary enlistments falter, Congress may be asked again to authorize drafting youths into reserves, reviving the universal military training fight. Volunteers span reserve forces and National Guard. The plan allows 17 to 18 year olds to skip the current two year draft by serving six months active duty then seven and a half years in the ready reserve.
