I have personal knowledge of the US Military back to 1931 and no such standard was in existence.
I enlisted in the US Army in 1963 at a height of 5 ft. 8 inches and 5'10" was about average in height then.
There was no 6 ft. standard.

I’m pretty sure you were supposed to be 5,8 to get into Navy flight training program. I was about 5’ 7”, and the flight surgeon doing had me “stand up a little straighter” until he decided I was close enough.
