Draft extension could add over six hundred thousand troops
Washington officials said a one year draft extension might enable the president to call up more than 600000 additional men if needed. The estimate uses a top authorizing call of 2005882 across drafts guards and reserves with present strengths for Army Navy and Air Force totaling 1 370 000 which is 635 882 below the authorized level. Some senators warn a draft may be required later if enlistments lag.
