Productive visit with BG Stone, DCG-M, 38th Infantry Division, Army National Guard. We focused on U.S. Army I Corps Pacific alignment, exercise readiness, and preparing Guard leaders through theater-focused education and strategic wargaming. #TotalForce #SecurityCooperation

THE DRAFT'S END AND THE TOTAL VOLUNTEER FORCE'S BEGINNING

The #allvolunteerforce & the #totalforce policy both began in '73. And the impact was significant throughout both the military & civilian community it served. Pt 4 of #CMRC series
