This is from the Yahoo version of this article: "The Obama transition team declined to comment on Broun's remarks. But spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama was referring in the speech to a proposal for a civilian reserve corps that could handle postwar reconstruction efforts such as rebuilding infrastructure — an idea endorsed by the Bush administration."
It sounds like to me he was talking about several separate things during his speech, such as expanding the US Foreign Service, and creating a force for cleaning up, rebuilding and governing after a war.
As I remember, the idea of creating a force to rebuild and maintain foreign territory after the primary warfare is finished has been talked about before. The lack of such a force during the Iraq war was a common criticism of the handling of the Iraq war.
I'm not sure he is talking about a stateside force at all in this speech. The US already has the National Guard, which, incidentally has been a little bit neglected lately. Obama has talked about beefing up the National Guard in the past, as stated here:

Personally, I would find such an expensive vacation very stressful. I would worry about every minute that is not spent relaxing or having fun. I would worry so much about the end of my vacation fast approaching that I would be unable to relax at all.

I'm not sure Japan should rely too much on fish. The oceans are being overfished and strained the world over.
