McNamara orders Reserve changes in national guard shift
Defense Secretary Robert McNamara announced a historic transfer of Army Reserves into the National Guard to boost combat readiness and save about 150 million annually. The plan cuts Army Reserve strength from 700,000 to 550,000 while expanding the National Guard from 400,000 to 550,000, with Army Reserves to be eliminated as organized units. The Navy and Marine Reserves remain unchanged amid broader consolidation talks.
