Guard Reserve Forces May Be Reduced
Washington based defense sources say National Guard reserve forces could be cut by as much as 10 combat divisions even with steady appropriations and manpower. The plan would raise division strength to about 15 000 men and fund expensive equipment, reducing paid civilian reservists. Army Secretary El vis J Stahr Jr. said last week there would be no significant reductions in the reserve ranks if Congress approves the plan.
