Sherman Sees Possible Need For More Fighting Men
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman told the Senate Pre-Preparedness Subcommittee that unless international conditions improve it may be necessary to increase the United States fighting forces above the near term goal of 3.5 million. He supported the UMST plan to lower the draft age to 18 and extend service to 27 months while endorsing mobilization goals for arted forces and reserve calls, with reliance on voluntary enlistments for four and six year terms. The Navy expects to depend mainly on volunteers and views 27 months as too short to train a sailor.
