take twelve years to build the army up to its authorized strength under the treaty. This was a
far more conservative estimate than that offered by Keyes, who believed that the fifty-three-
thousand-man ceiling could be reached within a year. The proposed locations for the Austrian
units were Tirol-Vorarlberg-Salzburg (headquarters, Innsbruck), Upper Austria (headquarters,
Linz), Carinthia (headquarters, Klagenfurt), Styria (headquarters, Graf); Lower Austria (head-
quarters, Saint Poelten) and Vienna/Burgenland (headquarters, Vienna).
