| | Military Reserves Are Falling Short in Finding Recruits [Free Republic] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | In fact, the increased demands on the Reserves, which have resulted in more missions overseas, is one of the reasons cited as an obstacle to filling units that not so long ago required reservists to set aside only a weekend a month and two weeks a year. |
 | | The Naval Reserve is projected to fall short of its target of 18,410 by as many as 4,000, a year after missing its target by 4,700 recruits. |
 | | The Reserves have attributed their recruiting problems to a variety of factors, but General Smith and other officials at Robins Air Force Base said the most significant was the dwindling size of the active force. |
