Book Description
This is a report about the usefulness in the Army of men classified as marginal. Based on a review of relevant programs which the Armed Services have conducted from World War I to the present, the emphasis in this report is on Army experience. The condition of marginality as it refers to manpower is one of continuing interest. As technologies advance, the demands upon human resources are affected. What is marginal may be expected to change both in nature and degree. The results of research in this area should not be buried in archives as separate technical reports. Rather, it appeared wise to provide basic summary findings of the range of explorations and research accomplished and a guide to the researcher who wishes to examine more closely the technical aspects of procedures employed. To obtain information for these two parts, agencies outside the Army were included in the search. Among these were the Selective Service System, the Defense Documentation Center, and the National Archives.

Book Description
The U.S. Army's Transition to the All-Volunteer Force is a compelling analysis of the process by which the Army responded to the requirements of creating an all-volunteer force, reestablished in the United States at midnight on 30 June 1973 when induction authority expired. That the transition from virtual dependency on the draft to a manpower system based on volunteerism was accomplished nearly simultaneously with the withdrawal from Vietnam is all the more remarkable. Robert K. Griffith Jr. takes us through the turbulent years of transition from 1968 to 1974, examining both the broad context in which the end of the draft occurred and the less well-known perspective that Army leaders brought to bear on the challenge they faced. In spite of an environment of fierce opposition, those charged with developing and implementing the Army's three-phased program to achieve all-volunteer status persevered and approached the task with a determination to succeed. Griffith's history shows the key role played by the Army staff and Army secretariat in shaping the Army as it underwent deep alterations in the very foundations of its structure. It provides both a glimpse into the dynamics of the reciprocal relationship between the Army and society, and is a useful case study of the successful management of fundamental organizational change.

Book Description
The all-volunteer force, the historic norm in peacetime America, was reestablished in the U.S. on 30 June 1973, when induction authority expired. But never before had the U.S. attempted to field a standing Army in peacetime -- based on voluntary enlistments -- with the worldwide responsibilities that faced this force. Since the mid-1980s the ability of the armed forces to recruit and retain quality volunteers has not been seriously questioned. This book takes us through those years of transition, examining both the context in which the end of the draft occurred and the perspective which the Army's leaders brought to bear on the challenge they faced.
