Collins says no regular U.S. division ready to replace Korea forces
Gen J Lawton Collins testifies to the House Armed Services subcommittee that the United States has only two air force divisions one armored and four National Guard infantry divisions at home while six divisions are in Korea and two in Japan. He cites this to justify Truman’s order placing many guardsmen on nine additional months active duty and notes no further guard units will be called up for Korea replacements. The rotation program for Korean veterans is hindered by lack of trained manpower. The subcommittee considers allowing five guard divisions to remain on active duty.
