Draftees Edge Toward Navy Service in Uncertain Times
The selective service system may be tapped to staff sea and shore facilities as the Navy expands its auxiliary fleet and bases. A limited number of future selectees could serve on converted merchant vessels or at naval facilities, while regular warships remain full. Secretary Knox indicated one year of service is insufficient, but defense demands may shift plans. Navy and Marine Corps recruitment, reservist calls, and re-enlistment trends shape active duty totals as the two ocean fleet nears its manpower goal.
