Army Strategic Reserve Shrinks Under Riot Duty
The Army’s strategic reserve, already strained by Vietnam, has been depleted further by troops deployed to Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington for riot control. About 60,000 strategic reserve soldiers remain, with 15,778 assigned to riot duty, while 45,000 to 50,000 could respond to other emergencies. Non strategic units add 8,795 troops, including a 70-man Marine section.
