Army to Discharge 475,000 Reserves and Deactivate 500,000
Washington officials announced Congress authorized a sweeping realignment in wartime reserves. About 475000 reservists would be discharged and 500000 moved to standby or out of service, leaving a lean ready reserve of those with prior active-duty service and needed qualifications. The plan prioritizes Korea veterans and those who could be called for immediate duty if war or national emergency arises.
