Army projections show 50,000 soldiers deserting by year end, up nearly 30 percent from 1968, with Lt Gen A O Conner citing undisciplined recruits and societal attitudes toward authority.

Conner discusses AWOL patterns, foreign desertions, and a rehabilitation program at Fort Riley to restore discipline, while addressing campus protests over military training by adding more academic subjects and trimming nonproductive drills.
