Selective Service Training Quotas and Procedures
The law sets a maximum active training figure of 900000 men at any time, implying 900000 called per year. The first group, about 400000, is slated to report between November 15 and December 1, 1940. A quota system will allocate men by state and local areas based on Class 1 eligibility, with Texas estimated at 5 percent. Training lasts 12 months, after which enlistees go to reserves for up to 10 years. Some may extend service to two years in the regular army without a further reserve obligation. Training occurs at regular military camps run by army and national guard staffs. The federal government covers transport and maintenance costs during transfers to camps.
