Navy Discharges Hard to Cut To 250000 Force
Navy discharges will be hard to push through for months says Captain Leigh. By July 1 the force will be down to 250000 after releasing 190000 Naval Reserve and 65000 regulars. Crews on ships and shore forces have been trimmed, with further reductions likely to hinder troop returns and European relief efforts. Applicants must show clear distress and apply via commanding officers with affidavits. The Marine Corps faces the same strain.
