Badger Men Popular 32nd Provides Boom for Area
A Kennedy era mobilization brought about 20 000 National Guardsmen and Reservists to Ft Lewis and nearby Olympia and Tacoma. The influx spurred housing demand and a sales boom as troops and families boosted the post payroll to over 100 million yearly. Wisconsin troops formed the 32nd Infantry Division Red Arrow with thousands more from midwest states and other units from western states. Local residents and churches welcomed the newcomers as a new civilian population settled in, with maternity rates rising at Ft Lewis Hospital.

The misinterpretation of policy kept some men in the eight year ready reserve instead of transfer to standby reserve, with no totals available. Secretary McNamara said final home timelines for about 156,000 recalled service members remain unclear.
