Eight-year UMT service plan outlined for American males
Washington November 10. The Universal Military Training and Service Act would require eight years of active and inactive duty for nearly all American males reaching conscription age after June 19, 1951. If active service is less than eight years, the remainder would be served in the Reserves or National Guard. Two bills in Congress would detail the obligation and restructure the reserves. Eligible youths would enter UMT via draft boards with limited deferments and potential for early induction. The plan divides training among services and winter or summer start options, with quotas: Army 50 percent, Navy 23, Air Force 22, Marines 5, Coast Guard later. Trainees join the National Security Training Corps.
