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.)
TOTAL MILITARY PERSONNEL CHART I
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

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

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-

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.
Robert T. Stevens ,
Secretary of the Army.

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.

My report for the period ending June 30,1955, will describe these
and other aspects of the Department’s business in greater detail, as
well as the progress of its continuing programs and the improvements
which have been made in its operations.

345976—55----- 5
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.

Secretary of the Air Force.
