The five-year program is in tended to produce finally a corps of 146,000 officers, 478,000 en listed men and 330,000 volun teers. The corps will have three principal parts the active re serve, inactive reserve and hon orary reserve. Members Assigned The active reserve will con sist of members assigned to mo bilization troop units. The vol unteer reserve will consist of members who are in training units or control groups. Men will be placed in the honorary reserve if they suffer permanent disability, reach 60 years of age, or request a transfer after 20 years of service. The long-range program, inl' tiated by Gray, calls for reaching its objective by 1956 providing funds are available. The present organized reserve program costs about $115 mil lion a" year. Budget estimates say Gray's proposal would cost about SI 50 million a year.
