Navy to Draft 10 000 in November
Navy to draft 10 000 in November for the first time since World War II. The move raises the total Selective Service quota for the month to 20 000 as the Army also plans 10 000. Navy aims to call 10 000 monthly through April except January, with no calls in May, then tapering to 6 000, hoping inductees won’t be needed after next June. The step reflects rapid manpower loss after the Korean conflict and a temporary augmentation of voluntary enlistments. The Air Force and Marine Corps will not draft in November.
