Secretary McNamara reportedly approved a plan to move 150000 Army reservists into the National Guard and create a 550000 man Guard ready within about 60 days. Another 150000 reservists would join a civilian pool for emergencies, ending the Organized Army Reserve. Savings could reach 100 million dollars in year one, rising later.
