    of the
    SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
    July 1-December 31, 1954
    During the first half of fiscal year 1955 further progress was
    made in carrying forward the long-range programs designed to meet
    effectively and efficiently the continuing threat to the security of our
    country. These programs provide for the development of the most
    powerful land, sea, and air forces ever maintained by our Nation
    short of a shooting war. They aim at maintaining under present
    world conditions a total active force of approximately 2,850,000 men,
    prepared for the essential tasks to be performed in the initial phases
    of a global war and possessing the ability to assist, if necessary, other
    free nations in countering local aggression.
    The major considerations underlying the current military programs
    were outlined by the President in a letter to the Secretary of
    Defense on January 5, 1955:
    “First, the threat to our security is a continuing and many-sided
    one—there is, so far as we can determine, no single critical ‘danger
    date’ and no single form of enemy action to which we could soundly
    gear all our defense preparations. We will never commit aggression,
    but we must always be ready to defeat it.
    “Second, true security for our country must be founded on a
    strong and expanding economy, readily convertible to the tasks of war.
    “Third, because scientific progress exerts a constantly increasing
    influence upon the character and conduct of war, and because America’s
    most precious possession is the lives of her citizens, we should
    base our security upon military formations which make maximum
    use of science and technology in order to minimize numbers in men.
    “Fourth, due to the destructiveness of modern weapons and the
    increasing efficiency of long-range bombing aircraft, the United
    States has reason, for the first time in its history, to be deeply concerned
    over the serious effects which a sudden attack could conceivably
    inflict upon our country.”
    In line with these concepts, the United States is developing a
    military structure based upon stability over a period of years and
    upon quality in personnel, weapons, and equipment.
    Stability is vital for the continued maintenance of an efficient
    military organization. Our country is determined to prevent war
    1
    2 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
    and to deter aggression. For this we must maintain a substantial,
    ready force not just for a possible moment of maximum danger, but
    for the duration of the threat—a force which avoids the waste and
    inefficiency inherent in sudden major changes and is not materially
    disturbed by any temporary shift in the world situation.
    The personnel level to meet the present threat has been established
    in the neighborhood of 2,850,000 men. This decision was
    reached after giving full consideration to the continuing communist
    threat, the rapid developments in weapons systems, the possibilities
    involved in better utilization of manpower in the active and reserve
    forces, the improved preparedness of friendly countries, and many
    other factors. This force level is almost twice the size of the one
    existing before Korea and about 80 percent of the peak reached during
    the Korean hostilities. (Chart 1.)

    Continued emphasis on research and development will greatly
    improve the equipment of our armed forces, but the efficient operation
    of such equipment is more dependent than ever before on the
    quality and experience of the men and women in the Services. An
    essential requirement for the Nation’s security is to attract the
    highest caliber of personnel to lifetime Service careers. Programs
    have been initiated and legislation prepared to make certain that
    this requirement will be met to the maximum extent possible.
    SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 3
    Military Programs
    During the first half of fiscal year 1955, military personnel
    strengths continued to be gradually adjusted to the approved longterm
    force levels. The armed forces, which started the fiscal year
    with a strength of 3,302,000, consisted on December 31, 1954, of
    3,181,000 men and women, with 1,326,000 in the Army, 687,000 in the
    Navy, 221,000 in the Marine Corps, and 947,000 in the Air Force. The
    reduction of 121,000 during this 6-month period included about 79,000
    in the Army, 39,000 in the Navy, and 3,000 in the Marine Corps. The
    Air Force showed no major change in number of personnel.
    Organizationally, the only major changes registered between
    July and December 1954 were the deactivation of 6 regiments in the
    Army and an increase of 6 active wings in the Air Force. In December
    1954, the Army was organized into; 19 divisions, 12 regiments,
    117 antiaircraft battalions, and necessary supporting elements such
    as tank, artillery, engineer, and combat signal battalions. The Navy
    was operating 1,101 ships, including 406 warships, and its major air
    striking power consisted of 16 carrier air groups and 15 carrier antisubmarine
    warfare squadrons. The Marine Corps was maintaining
    3 combat-ready divisions and 3 air wings with essential supporting
    elements. The Air Force had 121 active wings, a goal reached
    earlier than the Air Force thought possible a year ago. Continued
    improvement in the proportion of military personnel assigned to operating
    forces made possible the maintenance of these units at effective
    levels. To insure the proper coordination of the ground, sea,
    and air units responsible for the defense of the United States, the
    Continental Air Defense Command under the operational control of
    the Air Force was established on September 1, 1954.
    All the Services continued to receive substantial quantities of
    the latest weapons and equipment. Notable improvements in combat
    effectiveness resulted from the conversion of numerous units in the
    Strategic Air Command to the B-47 jet bomber and from the introduction
    of the F-100 and advanced versions of the F-84, F-86, and
    F-89 into tactical and air defense units. Deliveries of increasing
    numbers of guided missiles and free rockets as well as improved
    methods in the employment of atomic and nonatomic weapons enhanced
    the combat qualities of all the Services. Current developments
    in research and development promise further substantial
    improvements in combat effectiveness.
    Major attention continued to be given to the problem of retaining
    in the armed forces a maximum number of competent and experienced
    officers and enlisted men. The military departments took numerous
    steps to improve the conditions of service; they facilitated the con-
    345976—55--------2
    4 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
    current travel of dependents, established better career planning, and
    instituted greater stability in job assignments. The Congress enacted
    in August and September 1954 bills easing restrictions on retirement,
    extending home loan benefits to personnel on active duty, and providing
    an increased reenlistment bonus. The full impact of these actions
    cannot yet be measured. In the meantime, however, additional actions
    are urgently needed.
    The reenlistment rate for Regulars during the July-December
    period continued at a low level. The 23.5 percent average registered
    for this period was still below the unsatisfactory rate of 23.7 percent
    for fiscal year 1954 and less than half of the 59.3 percent reported
    for fiscal year 1950. To counter this dangerous trend, the Department
    of Defense has prepared a legislative program designed to increase
    the attractiveness of a military career, including legislation for selective
    pay increases, additional housing for Service families, better
    medical care for dependents, increased travel and “dislocation” allowances,
    and equalization of survivor benefits. The enactment of measures
    of this type is vitally important to the welfare of our military
    people and to the maintenance of high combat efficiency in the armed
    forces.
    Additional legislation is also required to enable the military
    departments to build and maintain their Reserve forces at required
    size and composition and in a high state of readiness. The present
    Reserve system fails to meet these requirements adequately. On
    December 31, 1954, the Ready Reserve of the military departments
    included 2,428,000 men, of whom only 746,000 were in a drill pay
    status and undergoing training. The Department of Defense, in collaboration
    with other agencies, has intensively studied for some time
    the Reserve problem and has developed a National Reserve Plan
    which, when enacted, should provide a truly ready Reserve by improving
    the Reserve structure, insuring participation in training programs,
    and supplying more trained personnel to the National Guard and other
    Reserve forces. The National Reserve Plan is expected to meet this
    objective without interfering with the continued flow of long-term
    enlistments into the active forces while providing maximum equity
    of obligation for all qualified young men. At the same time, it will
    assure maximum protection for essential civilian activities in case of
    mobilization. Action along these lines is essential since the existence
    of a well-trained and ready Reserve is vital to the security of the
    United States.
    Equally vital is the continued maintenance of an adequate state
    of military preparedness by our allies and friends abroad. Under
    present world conditions, their security and our security are intimately
    related. Their defensive strength constitutes an important factor in
    SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 5
    the preservation of world peace. In recognition of this fact, the
    Department of Defense continued during the past six months a steady
    flow of weapons and equipment under the approved Mutual Defense
    Assistance Program. The cumulative value of end items shipped as
    grant aid since the beginning of the Program in 1950 amounted to
    10.5 billion dollars on December 31, 1954. Of this total, 1.1 billion
    was shipped during the first half of fiscal year 1955. The persistent
    communist threat requires the continuation of these programs in the
    years ahead, especially for countries whose less-developed economies
    make it impracticable for them to procure the weapons and equipment
    required for their security.
    Management Programs
    Within the Department of Defense, special efforts continued to
    be devoted to the promotion of greater efficiency and economy through
    improvements in organization, methods, and procedures. The Secretaries
    of the military departments received additional assistance in
    carrying out their broad management responsibilities with the approval
    on August 3, 1954, of the bill authorizing four Assistant Secretaries
    in each department. In all the Services, the urgent need for
    increased efficiency and strictest economy is being increasingly recognized.
    All of them made notable progress in improving their operations
    in line with the policies and programs established during the
    preceding year. The solution of one problem, however, merely marks
    the opportunity to start work on the solution of another. Most important
    to success in this task is the determination of officials throughout
    the Department to find w’ays and means to carry out their assigned
    responsibilities better than they have been carried out heretofore.
    The drive for greater efficiency in operations covers all activities
    of the Department. In the field of research and development, for
    example, the better control and coordination of the Departmental programs
    has resulted in immediate economies and should make possible
    the lowering of future production costs and the simplification of logistics
    support. Applications engineers are halting the premature commitment
    to volume production of items not yet fully developed or
    tested, thus avoiding costly major modifications at a later date.
    The area of supply and logistics continues to offer a great opportunity
    for improvements in view of the vast inventories left over from
    previous years and estimated to have cost 100 billion dollars. The
    progress made under established policies and programs, however, has
    been encouraging, especially in the determination of requirements,
    the management of inventories, the maintenance of equipment, and
    the transportation of men and supplies. The identification program
    6 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
    for the Federal Catalog system continued on schedule with a total of
    1,230,000 items identified as of December 31, 1954—an increase of
    300,000 items during the preceding six months. Disposal of excess
    property under Operation CLEAN SWEEP proceeded at increased
    rates under policies designed to provide maximum returns from sales
    and to reduce the impact of such sales on regular commercial activities.
    Substantial savings in transportation costs were achieved by adherence
    to uniform procedures for rate negotiations, patterned after those
    employed by private industry. Considerable benefits are also expected
    from the new emphasis that is being placed on cross-servicing among
    the military departments for supplies and services.
    The management of real property and of construction and maintenance
    activities also showed notable improvement during the first
    half of fiscal year 1955. Work on the first complete real property
    inventory, taken on a uniform basis, was completed during the autumn
    of 1954, showing holdings by the military departments of about 28
    million acres with an original cost to the Government for land and
    buildings of 19.0 billion dollars. This inventory will not only make
    possible a more realistic evaluation of new construction and acquisition
    programs but also contribute to the timely disposal of real
    property no longer needed for current or mobilization requirements.
    The recently developed standards for new construction will insure
    that proper quality is obtained at the most favorable price, while
    the establishment of closer control over operations, the application
    of uniform methods, and improved training programs are
    contributing greatly to the reduction of costs in facility maintenance.
    Civilian employment in the Department continued to be under
    close review. Personnel strengths were reduced from 1,208,892, to
    1,179,813 between June 30 and December 31, 1954—a decrease of
    almost 30,000 during the first six months of fiscal year 1955 and of
    more than 240,000 since January 31, 1953. The Department, employing
    nearly half of all the civilians in the Federal Government,
    strongly supported the legislation adopted by the 83d Congress to
    make the civil service a more attractive career by such measures as
    the introduction of group life insurance, the removal of restrictions
    on permanent promotions imposed in 1950, the easing of limitations
    on the accumulation of annual leave, the establishment of more equitable
    overtime pay, and provision of unemployment compensation for
    Federal employees. These measures together with the pending proposals
    for pay adjustments, voluntary group hospitalization and
    medical insurance, and improvements in training programs should
    enable the Government to compete more effectively with private
    business for the services of capable personnel.
    SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 7
    In summary, the major effort of the Department of Defense
    during the first half of fiscal year 1955 was directed toward providing
    our armed forces with the modern armament and organization required
    for the continued maintenance in the years ahead of an effective
    and stable defense establishment. Our ground, sea, and air forces
    possess a tremendous striking power, which is constantly increased
    by advances in weapons technology. At the same time, the threat
    to the security of our country and that of the free world is both
    global and local, and we and our allies must maintain a potent
    deterrent power for both threats. The military programs of the
    Department of Defense recognize the continuing changes in weapons
    systems as well as this twofold threat of aggression.
    The Budget for Fiscal Year 1956
    The budget requests for fiscal year 1956, developed during the
    past 6-month period, provide for the continued effective implementation
    of the established military programs. These requests include
    31.4 billion dollars in new funds in the regular budget and about 3.1
    billion dollars in new financing authority to be submitted at a later
    date to cover the costs of proposed legislation for military public
    works, the Military Career Incentive Act, and the National Reserve
    Plan. It has been recommended that nearly half of the cost of this
    legislation be met by internal transfer from currently available funds,
    and on that basis the total request for new obligational authority for
    fiscal year 1956 will amount to approximately 33.1 billions. This
    budget will continue to meet adequately the real needs of the military
    Services and, at the same time, contribute to the more businesslike
    administration of the Department by substantially reducing
    unobligated and unexpended balances.
    The orderly reduction of unobligated funds has been in process
    since fiscal year 1954. These funds were accumulated during the
    Korean emergency with the subsequent adjustment or cancellation of
    contracts to fit the long-term needs of the Services. A total of 15.7
    billion dollars in unobligated funds was available on June 30, 1954.
    This total is expected to be reduced to about 11.7 billion dollars by
    June 30,1955, and to approximately 6.5 billions a year later, excluding
    balances in the pending public works request. The latter amount is
    approaching the level of unobligated funds that must normally be
    available from year to year. It is in the interest of the taxpayer and
    the armed forces that contracts for shorter lead-time components, for
    spares, and for certain services be placed only after the longer leadtime
    items for which they are procured are well along toward completion.
    8 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
    Similarly, the 1956 budget continues the Department’s effort to reduce
    the annual carry-over of unexpended funds. At the end of fiscal
    year 1953, the unexpended carry-over amounted to 62.1 billion dollars;
    it was lowered to 55.1 billions by June 30, 1954, and is expected to be
    about 46.0 billions'by June 30,1955, and 41.6 billions by June 30, 1956.
    At that time, most of the remaining carry-over will represent outstanding
    obligations, the bulk of which will be for aircraft, ships, and
    other undelivered materiel and construction work in progress.
    If the Congress enacts the President’s budget as requested, the
    proposed 33.1 billions in new obligational authority, together with the
    estimated carry-over of 46.0 billions', will make a total of 79.1 billions
    available to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1956 and subsequent
    years. Of this total, about 19.5 billions will be for the Army,
    23.3 billions for the Navy, 35.1 billions for the Air Force, and 1.2
    billions for interservice activities. These amounts are of sufficient
    size to permit the efficient development of all the Services in line with
    the programs approved for the long-term security of the United
    States. (Chart 2.)
    While requests for new obligational authority for fiscal year 1956
    are higher by 3.5 billion dollars than the amount granted for the preceding
    year, expenditures are expected to be somewhat lower—or
    roughly 34 billion dollars. This appears to be the approximate magnitude
    of expenditures required to maintain our armed forces at the
    planned force levels. Programed expenditures for fiscal year 1956
    are estimated at 35.2 billion dollars', but additional savings and reductions
    are expected to bring actual expenditures down to about 34.0
    billions. Not including these additional savings, Army expenditures
    are estimated at 8.9 billion dollars for fiscal year 1956, those of the
    Navy at 9.7 billions, those of the Air Force at 16.0 billions, and those
    for interservice activities at 0.6 billion. (Chart 3.)
    These expenditures make provision for the maintenance of a military
    personnel strength of 2,859,000 on June 30, 1956. At that time,
    the Army with 1,027,000 men will be organized into 18 divisions (13
    mobile, 2 static, and 3 training divisions), 11 regiments, and 136 antiaircraft
    battalions. The Navy will be operating 405 warships and
    17, instead of the current 16, carrier air groups with an active duty
    strength of 664,000. A total of 193,000 Marines will continue to maintain
    3 combat-ready divisions and 3 air wings. The Air Force with
    975,000 men will have 131 wings'—4 more combat wings than planned
    a year ago.
    The enactment of these budgetary proposals will provide an adequate
    base for the continued maintenance of a sound defense establishment.
    In this period of uneasy truce, we must keep vigilant and
    prepared. Armed strength continues to represent the main deterrent

    capable of a tremendous counteroffensive in the event of a global war,
    be ready for lesser military actions as directed, provide increased protection
    for this country, and be backed by a well-trained Reserve and
    an adequate military production potential. At the same time, these
    objectives must be achieved at an acceptable cost without undermining
    the principles which have made our country great. Our current

    RESERVE FORCES POLICY BOARD
    December 31, 1954
    There follows the Semiannual Report of the Reserve Forces Policy Board on
    the status of the Reserve programs of the Department of Defense, submitted in
    accordance with Section 257 (e) of the Armed Forces Reserve Act of 1952, for
    the first half of fiscal year 1955.
    The Reserve Forces Policy Board held four meetings during this period, continuing
    its study of Reserve programs and problems with the view of recommending
    new and revised policies and legislation as might be indicated, for
    strengthening the Reserve forces. The three major areas of consideration
    continue to be Personnel, Equipment, and Facilities.
    Personnel
    The period covered by this report has been one of intensive study and
    work in the Department of Defense to complete, in time for submittal to the
    Congress at its next session, a National Reserve Plan and the necessary supporting
    legislation.
    The Reserve Forces Policy Board devoted a large part of its effort to the
    study of the deficiencies in existing Reserve programs. It developed and recommended
    to the Secretary of Defense twenty broad principles for increasing the
    effectiveness of the Reserve forces. These were later translated into a plan
    which, with supporting legislation, was forwarded to the Secretary of Defense.
    Many of the principles were included in the National Reserve Plan which was
    reviewed by the Board prior to its transmittal to the Congress by the Secretary of
    Defense.
    Based upon current reports which are subject to minor final corrections there
    were approximately 337,668 members of Reserve components on active duty
    December 31, 1953, and 329,659 on active duty December 31, 1954. The following
    tabulation indicates approximately for the same dates for each Reserve component
    the number of members not on active duty, the number of these in the
    Ready Reserve and Standby Reserve, and the number in drill pay status.

    As indicated in the foregoing tabulation, the Ready Reserve has a great
    overall numerical strength, and the number of members participating in training
    is increasing. Attendance of participating members at drills has been excellent.
    However, the number of personnel participating in training is inadequate to
    meet mobilization requirements, and it is vital to our national security that
    means be found to bring our Reserve units to effective ready strength.
    The following appear to be the chief areas where legislation and action are
    needed:
    (a) The authorized strength of the Reserve components not on active duty
    is not geared to mobilization requirements; the ceiling of 1,500,000 set on
    the Ready Reserve by one provision of the law is exceeded by compliance with
    another provision of law requiring the assignment to the Ready Reserve of
    individuals completing less than 5 years of active duty. The Board continues
    to support the principle that the strength of the Reserve forces not on active
    duty be geared to mobilization requirements.
    (b) The Ready Reserve as a whole is not ready in fact or by statutory definition.
    It is a large group legally liable to being ordered to active duty in
    time of war or national emergency. The proportion of this group participating
    in Reserve training, however, is far too small. The Board believes
    that the legal definition of the Ready Reserve should be changed to indicate
    trained members and units immediately available. Inducements are needed
    to obtain greater participation by prior-service personnel in Ready Reserve
    training. The lawful authority permitting the enlistment of large numbers
    of nonprior-service men in the National Guard makes it necessary to devote
    the greater part of the time available (during the limited annual number of
    drills and days of active duty training) to the completion of basic training
    at the expense of more advanced training. An input is badly needed into the
    National Guard and other units, of personnel without prior service who are
    given basic active duty training immediately upon entering the Service and
    before participating in Reserve training. The Ready Reserve is not adequately
    screened; much screening would have to be accomplished on mobilization
    when time would be a critical factor. The Board advocates a continuous
    screening of the Ready Reserve, to insure maximum availability for active
    duty upon mobilization.
    (c) In a national emergency declared by the President, the Ready Reserve
    may not be ordered to active duty until Congress determines the required
    numbers. Under existing world conditions, the President should have authority
    to mobilize the Ready Reserve without the delay attending the determination
    by Congress of the required numbers.
    (d) Substantial funds will be required to support the expanded training
    and readiness program necessary to bring the Reserve force to effective ready
    14 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE RESERVE FORCES POLICY BOARD
    strength, as will be indicated in the appropriation requests of the military
    departments.
    (e) A strong, intensified public relations effort is needed to educate the
    public concerning Reserve obligations and the need for a strong Reserve, and
    to gain for the reserves the recognition and support their participation merits.
    The Board has recommended to the Secretary of Defense that such a public
    information program be undertaken.
    In connection with recognizing cooperation rendered by industry to the
    Reserve program, in accordance with a recommendation of the Board, the Secretary
    of Defense has authorized a Department of Defense Reserve Award consisting
    of a bronze plaque with a citation certificate, and a pennant for display
    purposes, to be awarded to organizations and employers which render outstanding
    cooperation in their policies toward reservists and Reserve activities.
    The Reserve Officer Personnel Act of 1954 was signed by the President September
    3, 1954. As required by Section 702 (c), the Board is prepared to review
    and report on the effectiveness of this Act after it becomes operative on July 1,
    1955. While the Act necessarily contains many compromises of divergent views^
    experience in operation is needed to provide a firm basis for recommending
    amendments.
    The active force requirements for approximately the last fifteen years have
    demanded active duty of large numbers of Reserve officers for long periods, and
    it appears that this situation will continue for some time. The absence of the
    officers concerned from their civilian pursuits for long periods and, conversely,
    their vulnerability to release from active duty and return to civilian life on
    short notice, have created problems of career security and readjustment affecting
    the morale, stability, and efficiency of the active forces. While the Board recognizes
    that the basic concept of Reserve forces precludes assurance of permanence
    or anything in the nature of a vested right to continuous active duty for Reserve
    officers, it feels that the degree of security afforded these officers can be improved.
    As a partial solution to the problem, the Board concurred in the proposal that
    Reserve officers who have had at least 5 years of continuous active duty, who
    are involuntarily separated from active duty through no fault of their’own,
    should be provided a lump sum readjustment pay. The Board, therefore,
    developed a plan for such readjustment pay and forwarded it with the recommendation
    that it be formulated into a Department of Defense legislative proposal
    for presentation to the Congress at the earliest practicable time,
    Equipment
    In general the equipment of the Reserve forces continues to improve, and
    it appears that equipment would be available for an expanded training program.
    However, as previously reported, the lack of facilities and storage space for
    properly safeguarding equipment is in some cases the chief limitation rather
    than unavailability of equipment.
    While certain air units of the Ready Reserve, which are available for
    immediate call as part of our first line defenses and which require types of
    equipment having high rates of obsolescence, have adequate equipment available
    for training purposes, they are short of mobilization requirements. The Air
    Force is acutely aware of this situation and has made it a matter for quarterly
    review.
    Facilities
    The facilities available for training the Reserve, and for the storage and
    custody of equipment, continue to be inadequate for some of the Reserve comSEMIANNUAL

    ponents. However, progress is being made in providing for the acquisition and
    construction of facilities for the Reserve components, and for their joint utilization
    to the maximum practicable extent. This subject will be covered in greater
    detail in the next report.

    Semiannual Report
    of the
    SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
    July 1-December 31, 1954

    Semiannual Report
    of the
    SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
    July 1-December 31, 1954
    The first half of fiscal year 1955 for the Army was a period of
    downward adjustment in personnel strength, inventories, facilities,
    and expenditures to adapt our Army to the revised national military
    policy. Our accomplishments outlined in this report indicate how—
    despite our reduced resources—we plan to remain ready to fulfill our
    responsibilities for defense of the Nation.
    During this period the Army reduced its military strength by almost
    80,000 of the goal of 300,000 established in December 1954, as the
    required reduction for this fiscal year. We reduced our civilian employment
    by almost 31,000 while simultaneously continuing our civilian-
    for-military replacement program. We have, at the same time,
    continued to place heavy emphasis on our program of increasing the
    combat potential of our manpower. During this period, for example,
    we steadily increased the ratio of combat to supporting troops; the
    reenlistment rate was markedly increased; the proportion of transients—
    personnel in travel, reassignment, or separation status—
    declined from 5.3 percent to 3.0 percent; and, by advances in our
    medical services, our noneffective rate (reflecting the number of
    soldiers unable to perform active duty because of noncombat illness or
    disability) was reduced to 1.3 per 100 men, the lowest rate in Army
    history.
    Several accomplishments were aimed at improving morale and
    efficiency. Operation GYROSCOPE, the new system of replacing
    entire overseas units by like units from the United States, is progressing
    satisfactorily with the first rotation of combat divisions scheduled
    for July 1955. An improved enlisted Military Occupation Specialty
    system, designed to identify the Army’s jobs more clearly and to
    further improve personnel placement, was completed and will soon
    be implemented. Training exercises and field tests have been planned
    to increase our fighting efficiency in atomic warfare and in amphibious,
    jungle, desert, mountain, and arctic operations. I recommended as a
    giant step in further improving the welfare and morale of the Army
    the enactment into law of the program proposing an equitable readjustment
    in pay scales together with the restoration of certain impor-
    345976—55- ■4
    19
    20 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
    tant benefits which play a vital part in retaining and attracting high
    caliber personnel for the Army. To this same end I have also continued
    to urge the provision of more and better housing for Service
    families.
    We maintained the number of divisions at 19 during this period,
    but it was necessary to change two of them from mobile to static.
    We have made noteworthy progress in the matter of antiaircraft defense.
    NIKE battalions were deployed near several large cities, and
    plans were completed to ring additional key cities with similar units.
    Providing further antiaircraft protection are the 90-mm., 120-mm.,
    and SKYSWEEPER battalions. All of these, combined with standby
    National Guard AA battalions, are coordinated with the Continental
    Air Defense Command for overall protection.
    Of critical importance to the security of our country is the enactment
    of an adequate reserve plan to meet mobilization needs. During
    the first half of fiscal year 1955, the military Services joined in the
    development of the new National Reserve Plan. I shall continue to
    urge public support and Congressional enactment of legislation to
    assure a combat-ready reserve force necessary to acquire a reasonably
    secure position for meeting continued creeping aggression or all-out
    war.
    During the 6-month period much has been accomplished to improve
    the Army’s organizational management. Functional responsibilities
    for Army management have been divided among four
    Assistant Secretaries, enabling the Under Secretary to assist me in
    the discharge of top-level responsibilities. Further, the Office of the
    Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics has been established, centralizing
    direction and control of the seven technical services in one logistical
    organization within the Army staff. Another organizational improvement,
    which was planned during this period and scheduled to be
    effective in February 1955, provided for the establishment of a Continental
    Army Command having authority to direct and control the
    activities of our six Continental Armies and the Military District of
    Washington.
    Considerable progress was achieved in the modernization and
    reduction of our inventories. We disposed of surplus property acquired
    at a total cost of 870 million dollars. This was a 38 percent
    increase in disposals over those made in the previous half year.
    During the same period, the value of unserviceable materiel rebuilt
    totaled over 1 billion dollars against a cost of 145 million dollars to
    rebuild it. This exceeded the value-to-cost ratio for fiscal year 1954
    by 28 percent. The number of items in the supply system has been
    further reduced. One major camp, 5 industrial installations, and 7
    SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY
    depots were closed, 2,560,000 square feet of covered depot space having
    been transferred to the Air Force.
    The level of expenditures was reduced from a full-year figure of
    16.3 billion dollars in fiscal year 1953, representing a post-World War
    II high, to a half-year figure of 4.6 billion dollars in expenditures for
    the first half of fiscal year 1955. The annual expenditures estimate
    for the current year, as stated in the President’s Budget to the Congress,
    is 8.9 billion dollars, approximately one-third below the previous
    year’s expenditures.
    I am pleased to report that the Army has expeditiously adjusted
    itself to the many changes necessitated by the revised concepts of
    national military policy. I desire again, however, to enlist the solid
    support of the Congress and the American people generally in solving
    the problems of building a strong Reserve structure and of increasing
    the attractiveness of the career service. The enactment of Reserve
    legislation is most essential if the Army is to be fully capable of
    meeting its responsibilities for the defense of the Nation.

    Secretary of the Army.

    Semiannual Report
    of the
    SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
    July 1-December 31, 1954

    Semiannual Report
    of the
    SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
    July 1-December 31, 1954
    In fulfillment of the reporting requirement contained in Section
    202 (d) of the National Security Act of 1947 (as amended), there
    will be found in the appendix of this Report a summary of the status
    of funds appropriated for the support of the Naval Establishment as
    of December 31, 1954.
    During the first half of this fiscal year 1955, the attention of the
    Department was occupied principally with prospective reductions in
    force levels and measures necessary to meet the obsolescence of ships
    and aircraft. New developments in ships were highlighted by further
    successful tests in the submarine Nautilus of the use of atomic power
    in vessels. In consonance with the policy for greater emphasis on air
    power, plans were made to include an additional aircraft carrier,
    together with one additional air group, in the force levels in fiscal year
    1956 and to strengthen the air training program.
    The rapid turnover of military personnel and the dilution of skills
    thereby continued to be a preoccupying problem, and emphasized the
    need for action to make a military career more attractive. Measures
    undertaken by the Congress to provide increases in basic and incentive
    pay rates, and in certain allowances, are expected to improve this
    situation. It is anticipated that such action, coupled with efforts to
    improve housing and care of dependents, will result in more competent
    men seeking a naval career and in fewer trained and experienced
    personnel leaving the Service for other occupations.
    I have stated in previous reports my concern at the prospective
    “block obsolescence” of the Fleet, it being composed largely of ships
    built during World War II. In order to forestall this prospect, it is
    necessary to increase the number of new ships to be delivered in future
    years, and initial funds for that purpose have been included in the
    budget request to Congress for the fiscal year 1956. The shipbuilding
    program which these funds will support is designed specifically to
    strengthen the Fleet in a number of classes in order to insure its continued
    superiority in all phases of naval operations.

    July 1-December 31, 1954

    Semiannual Report
    of the
    SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE
    July 1-December 31, 1954
    The attached semiannual budget statement is for the six months
    beginning July 1,1954. A year ago we reported the progress we had
    made in building toward the Air Force’s 137-wing goal. The fiscal
    year 1956 budget will permit the Air Force to continue this buildup,
    in accordance with the program which was established in the fall of
    1953.
    The composition of this force goal has not changed since then. It
    still appears to be the proper program, but it must constantly be reevaluated
    in the light of growing communist capabilities. Meanwhile,
    we are making excellent progress in achieving this program.
    We had 121 wings in being on January 1, 1955, and by the end of
    June 1956 we will have 131 wings instead of the originally scheduled
    127 wings.
    We have committed ourselves to the manning of 137 wings with
    975,000 men, but unless we can make an Air Force career more attractive
    to our personnel, the efficiency of this readiness force will
    be jeopardized. We are getting the airplanes, the supplies, and the
    bases that we need, and we have made some progress this year in the
    “fringe benefits” area, but housing is far behind the need. During
    the buildup from 48 wings in 1950 to the present strength of 121
    wings, we placed maximum emphasis on operational facilities. The
    housing inventory has gone from the World War II level of about
    2,500 sets to a present 68,000. Approximately 300,000 Air Force
    families are not properly housed today. This critical housing shortage
    is a matter of particular concern because it has such a profound
    effect on determining whether or not our men will choose the Air Force
    as a career. We must correct this situation.
    In the materiel field the Air Force has continued to tighten its
    inventory requirements. The loss to obsolescence of large inventories
    in this age of rapid technological advance could be staggering. We
    are determined to utilize airlift to the maximum so as to increase the
    flexibility of our operations, and at the same time cut down on the
    amount of inventory we must maintain. The savings in high cost
    items of inventory, such as engines, is marked. By the airlift of our
    29
    30 SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE
    engines overseas we can cut down the length of our pipeline from 270
    to 100 days. Such a pipeline reduction will enable us to accomplish
    a 25 percent savings in spare engines alone. With an active inventory
    of some 23,000 aircraft requiring from one to ten engines each,
    it is evident that great savings should follow.
    We are bringing into our inventory the Boeing eight-jet B-52.
    This bomber is the best in the world today. Its introduction as part
    of our strategic forces should be of great reassurance to our people.
    In addition we have ordered the Boeing jet-tanker, the KC-135, which
    will increase the range of the B-52 and other planes also—including
    medium bombers, light bombers, and fighter planes.
    The Tactical Air Command is meeting the expanded challenge of
    communism by increasing its readiness and mobility at home and
    across the seas. This force is prepared to move immediately to any
    threatened area of the globe. Improvements in speed and range of
    tactical aircraft, inflight refueling, and improvements in cargo and
    troop carrier aircraft are essential to this capability. The Martin
    B-57 is coming off the production line. The North American supersonic
    F-100 is already here, and the first squadron has been activated
    and equipped. Two MATADOR missile squadrons have been deployed
    overseas to augment our tactical units. These tactical aircraft
    are prepared to use either atomic or nonatomic weapons.
    We have also improved our air defense position. The radar net
    defending the United States is nearing completion. The Canadian
    Government is going ahead with the mid-Canadian defense line. The
    Air Force is putting maximum effort into the construction of the new
    distant early warning line from Alaska across Northern Canada to
    Greenland. Moreover, the armed forces are extending radar coverage
    offshore with Texas towers, with picket ships, and with airborne early
    warning systems. We are now introducing electronic equipment to
    replace many of the present manual operations. This new technique
    provides our defense with a capacity to deal with a much larger attacking
    force, and thus also stands as more of a deterrent to aggression.
    Our research and development program is turning out newer and
    better fighters and missiles at a steady rate. Two developments vital
    to the air defense mission will be the air-to-air guided missile and a
    long-range, all-weather interceptor. We are placing continuing emphasis
    on the development of long-range ground-to-air interceptor
    missiles. The extension of our intercept capability by the use of airborne
    early warning and control aircraft, long-range interceptor
    aircraft, and missiles will permit us to intercept attacking forces at
    greater ranges.
    This year has shown advances in the development of the intercontinental
    ballistic missile. The development of this weapon is of
    SEMIANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE 31
    critical importance to the basic security of the United States and the
    free world.
    The communist threat to world peace has shown no sign of abating.
    Air power must continue to be the keystone of our capacity to
    counter this threat.
