The Army apparently had decided then it could not exempt the majority who joined the reserves. Telegrams and letters were sent to reserve commanding officers instructing them to stop enlistments. In most cases those instructions arrived too late. Since then, the reserves have appealed to the Army General Staff without success. They say they've been told regulations approved Friday by Gen. Omar Bradley mean what they say and will stand. The selective service law provides that all persons who were members of federal recognized National Guard, federally recognized Air National Guard, Officers Reserve Corps, Regular Army Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Enlisted Reserve Corps, Naval Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve or Public Health Service Reserve units when the President signed the law would be draft-exempt.

Thus, all reserves of draft age, who have not previous military service, are liable to be called up. After June 24, Reserve and National Guard units can qualify as organized units of the Army either by getting federal recognition in the case of the Nationals Guard, or, in the case of the reserves, qualifying to maintain or 48 paid training drills a year plus attendance at 15-day summer camp.
