WASHINGTON UPI — A long-considered major overhaul of Army National Guard forces ha* won the Important approval of the Pentagon’s Reserve Forces Policy Committee, informed sources said Wednes-
day.
The plan reportedly would abolish 15 under-strength National Guard divisions, but would set a number of new independent guard brigades. The mainstay of Army National Guard forces now consists of a 150,000-man selected reserve force. It is composed of three divisions and six independent brigades, all at 100 per cent of manning and equipment. In addition, there are 15 National Guard divisions in what is called the reinforcing reserve, all apparently under strength. Nine of them contributed a brigade to make up the selected reserve force. The purpose of the proposed new reorganization would be to create a smaller but more nearly combat-ready over-all force, officials said. The 15 divisions which reportedly would be involved are the 29th Infantry, located in Maryland and Virginia; 31st Infantry, Alabama and Mississippi; S2nd Infantry, Wisconsin; 33rd Infantry, Illinois; 36 th Infantry, Texas; 37th Infantry, Ohio; 39th Infantry, Arkansas and Louisiana; 41st Infantry, Washington and Oregon; 45th Infantry, Oklahoma; 48th Infantry, Michigan; 49th Infantry, California; 27th Armored, New York; 40th Armored, California; 48th Armored, Georgia, and 49th Armored, Texas. Five other divisions presumably would not be involved, because they are in a higher state of readiness. TYiey are the 26th Infantry, Massachusetts; 30th Infantry, North Carolina; 42nd Infantry, New York; 50th Armored, New Jersey, and 30th Armored, Tennessee. Army Will Call 19,900 In July WASHINGTON UPI — The Defense Department Wednesday announced another record monthly draft call for this year 19,900 men to be inducted in July, all into the Army. The announcement of a figure for July made monthly draft totals for this year as follows: January, 15,600; February, 10,900; March, 11,900; April, 11,400; May, 18,000; June 19,800; and July, 19,900. The figures still were well below draft levels a year ago. For example, in July, 1966, 28,500 men were inducted. The draft reached a peak of 49,200 during October, 1966, and subsequently was whittled down to between 10,000 and 15,000 a month.
