THE 8DM CORPORATION INSIGHTS Mobilization 0 Failure to mobilize during the Vietnam War caused repercussiops that impacted on the US economy, the I Congress, the e~ecutive branch, the draft-age young men and their families, and -- to an extent that cannut yet be measured -- on the military Services. * Historically, mobilization connotes a sense of national determination, and therefore it provides a strong signal to an enemy; lack of mobilization conveys a sense of irresolution in ci-cumstances such as the Vietnam War. The actual US commitment of combat troops to Indochina differed from that foreseen in contingency plans. All early US plans anticipated a mobilization of Reserve Components. The failure to call vp critically short technical skills, especially logistics and engineer units, contriouted significantly to delays in the deployment of combat troops to Vietnam. * The decision not to mobilize but to depend on increased recruitment and draft calls proved to be the "lesser" of two political "evils" for President Johnson. Militarily, the decision proved less than effective, and it exacerbated Selective Service inequities, morale problems, personnel turbulance and shortages of qualified leaders and technicians. That decision, among others, contributed to his political demise,. The call-up of the Reserves would not significantly have altered the final outcome of the war, assuming that the war would havw been prosecuted in essentially the same way that it actually unfolded. (Conversely, had the Reserve Component been mobilized at the outset, witn concomitant public support, the war might have been prosecuted in mure vigorous fashion and with different results). The nobilization during the Korean War and the Berlin Cr 4 sis made call-ups appear to US political leaders to be politically unacceptable. The end of the Vietnam war brought with it an end to the draft and initiation of the War Power- Act. Future American presidents will be faced with a serious dilemma if confronted with a crisis situation requiring rapid buildups in military manpower, EX-6
THE BDM CORPORATION LESSONS "Banana:' wars or other small-scale, protracted but undeclared wars are politically difficult to justify and sustain. Only a radical change in US attitudes and perceptions might enable a US president to engage in such wars in the future. Small-scale, intense, short-term combaL operations are possible, using regular forces, assuming that the forces in the proper combinations are available and r'eady to fight. But any commitment of appreciable size or duration will require mobilization and the ,ull support and understanding of a majority of the American people. EX-7 - --- - - - - - ,.~~
