To determine the capability for, approximate costs of,\n1\nand main implications of calling one reserve component division\n2\nto active service in July for a thirty or sixty-day period.\n3\nDISCUSSION\n2. There are 27 National Guard Divisions and 10 USAR Divi-\n4\nsions which are scheduled for 15 days of annual active duty for\n5\ntraining (ANACDUTRA) during the period from June through\n6\nSeptember. One of those scheduled for training in July\n7\ncould be retained on active duty for a thirty-day or a sixty-\n8\nday period if directed.\n9\n3. As these divisions are at an authorized strength which\n10\nis considerably below their TOE strength, they should be\n11\nbrought up to full strength if they are to be kept on extended\n12\nactive duty. This would permit realization of maximum training 13\nand combat readiness benefits. Approximately 4,900 individual\n14\nfillers from the USAR mobilization reinforcement pool would be\n15\nrequired to bring the division which was investigated to full\n16\nstrength. These are available from within the Army area con-\n17\ncerned. In order to effect call up of USAR fillers, Active Army 18\nCorps Headquarters concerned will need a minimum of 30 days to\n19\ncomply.\n20\n4. Cost for Thirty-Day Period. Overall cost would be\n21\napproximately 5,142,827. This includes $1,439,350 for\n22\n15 days ANACDUTRA already budgeted but does not include dis-\n23\nplacement cost for two reserve component divisions which would\n24\nhave to take ANACDUTRA elsewhere. Estimated net additional cost, 25\nincluding displacement cost, is $3,763,477.\n26\nSECRET\nAppendix C\nJCSM-385-61\n6"
