Army releases most Pueblo mobilized reserves early
The Army adopts an early release plan allowing about 37 000 of the 38 000 reservists and National Guardsmen called after the Pueblo seizure to leave active duty by December 1969. Vietnam veterans begin returning home in spring 1969 as Navy and Air Force plans align. Draft calls next spring may rise to 38 000 to offset releases.
