West Germany to seek draft extension to 18 months
West Germany's cabinet moved to ask parliament to extend military draft from 12 to 18 months to meet NATO commitments and boost home defense. Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss said a bill would be sent to the Bundestag soon with hopes of March 15 approval. The aim is to field 12 NATO divisions by mid 1963 and raise home forces to 100,000, while combat units remain under NATO control.
