Army manpower shortage worries Pentagon experts
Pentagon sources say the press to manuta combat strength in Vietnam created a thousand-strong Army shortage. Fewer draftees than predicted, plus slower Vietnam withdrawals, left units like the 82nd Airborne at reduced readiness. Europe also faces weak battalions as withdrawals progress. Officials expect shortages to ease with continued drafts and troop withdrawals.
