Plan to Replace Reserve by Draft
The Pentagon aims to release about 20,000 Army National Guardsmen and reservists on active duty and replace them through higher draft calls by as much as 3,000 men a month. The Army plans to end mobilized service by the end of 1969, cutting two years to about five months of possible service, with draft calls rising several months ahead.
