More than 123,500 men have been sliced from the active duty rolls since October 1969. This of course, has all come about due to the Nixon Administrations Vietnam and economic reductions. The end, however, is not in sight as the Army faces an additional 123,557 man cutback for fiscal year 1971. Hie size of Army reductions can be expected to be increased by continuing Vietnam cutbacks. Strength figures just published by the Defense Department report Army strength stood at 1,388,282 men as of February 28. The figures reveal cuts of 28,870 in January and almost 14,700 in February, both declines from the December 1969 cut which reached very close to 30,000 men. In the twelve months from Feb. 28, 1969 to Feb. 28, 1970, 212,213 men were sliced from Department of Defense rolls with the Army absorbing virtually one half of the cut, losing 105,888 men. off the regular ticket prices of $2, $3, $4 and $5.
