McNamara Plans To Try Again In 1966 Merger
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara aims to win congressional support in 1966 for merging the Army Reserve into the National Guard. The plan would create a single force of 8 divisions and 16 brigades totaling about 550,000, with the Reserve dissolved and the Guard expanded to serve as the Army’s civilian back-up. The Guard now numbers roughly 375,000 and the Reserve about 250,000, amid wariness from lawmakers about cutting reserve strength during Viet Nam buildup.
