Wood Urges Army Of 300000 Ample For Our Defense
General Leonard Wood testified before the Senate military committee that a regular army of 225000 to 350000 with universal training and an organized reserve suffices for current needs. He called for six months training, opposed a 500000 regular force, and pressed for a strong general staff and an independent air service without a cabinet head. He urged equipment to support 4000000 reserves and warned that sending troops without training doubles casualties. He suggested three to five regular divisions near war strength as an expeditionary force, and questioned the department's high cost of a half‑million force versus universal training.
