New Look Army Trials Attract Volunteers As Drafts Decline

A Pentagon plan to recruit permanent enlistments expands across the Air Force Navy and Marine Corps. The move accompanies a shift to a leaner force after Vietnam withdrawal, with compulsory service cited as a past necessity and now giving way to voluntary enlistment under a changing recruitment strategy.

Pentagon Plans Stability in Armed Forces Size Next Year

The defense strategy aims for a 2.25 million force this year with 1.5 million fewer troops than in 1968 and 460,000 fewer than 1964. Pay increases raise recruit pay from 78 to 332 dollars monthly and colonel pay from 985 to 2062 dollars. Barracks modernization, equal opportunity drives, and gradual modernization funding seek to ready the force despite Vietnam-era reductions.
