Congress Views With Suspicion Move to Cut NG Reserve Units
Washington lawmakers scrutinize the Pentagon plan to realign the Army National Guard and Reserve. The proposal would abolish about 1 275 units, cutting strength from 685 000 to 640 000 and creating eight weeks to mobilize eight combat divisions. Draftees with two years service could not be assigned to reserves for four more years, affecting about 30 000 personnel. Congress may attach riders to maintain armory payrolls and drill pay in local communities.
