Major overhaul of reserves proposed in Kennedy budget
The Defense Department plans a major overhaul of reserve training under the Reserve Forces Act of 1955. Enlisted reservists would shift from a fixed six month tour to four to ten months based on specialty, with six years in service before standby. The plan aims to cut over-training and raise efficiency, affecting Army Reserve and National Guard, with broader congressional action needed.
