The Army faces the most drastic changes. By 1995, it will be cut to 18 divisions, 12 active and six Reserve - down from 28 divisions, 18 active and 10 Reserve. To cope with the cuts and improve combat readiness of the Reserves, the Army is considering a plan to reorganize two of the six Reserve divisions as Soviet-style “cadre” divisions, each with a peacetime hard core of a few hundred active-duty personnel to train other division reservists. The cadre divisions would be combat ready within 60 days. The other four divisions would be all-Reserve outfits.
