IN ITSjlSIORY
Army Approaching Five Mil
lionNavy Has Million
Other Units 300,000 Men.
B7 Reuel S. Moon
United Press Correspondent.
Washington (U.R) One year
after the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor precipitated it in
to war, the United States has
the largest fighting forces in its
history.
The Army today is approach
ing the 8.000,000 mark. The
Navy numbers 1,000,000 men.
The Marine Corps, Coast Guard
ana other protective forces take
another 300,000. for a total
of about 6,300,000 men. By the
end of 1943. according to Presi
dent Roosevelt, this total will be
',700,000.
Thus in one year of war the
country has built up its fighting
services to the point where their
strength exceeds substantially
their strength on Armistice day.
Nov. 11, 1918, after 19 months
of World war I. On that date
the Army numbered 3,673,888
men. Total fighting forces mo
bilized in the last war were
,355,000 men.
Speed with which the fighting
machine has been built up can
be Judged by recalling that on
June 30, 1940, the Army Na
tional Guard and Reserves to
uted only 652,516. By Sept 30,
1941, this number had risen to
,893,896. And in the first year
of war this total was more than
trebled.
In 1941 the regular Navy
personnel numbered 213,360 of
ficers and men, plus Navy mili
tary and state organizations to
taling 70,517.
Million Men Overseas
Nearly 1,000,000 American
fighting men already are over-
seas, about three times as many
as were sent to France in the
corresponding period of the last
war, and the figure Is growing
rapidly.
The first World war was one
year old on April 6, 1918, when
little more than 329,000 men
had been transported overseas.
Thus the movement overseas in
this war has been at a rate
nearly three times as rapid as
in the last war. At the close
of the last war, the American
Expeditionary Force numbered
981,701 men, including 32,385
Marines.
But not only Is the present
army strong in numbers. Brig.
Gen. R. F. Fowler, chief of the
supply division in the office of
the chief of engineers, recently
said:
The United States has today
the -largest and best equipped
army in its history."
He was speaking of the pow
erful array of American planes
going into action in world the
aters Boeing Flying Fortresses
and Consolidated four-motored
bombers, Douglas, North Amer
ican and Martin twin-engined
bombers, and fighters like the
twin-motored Lockheed P-38
Lightnings, the single-motored
turtiss P-40 series,, the North
American P-51 Mustangs and
the Republic P-47 Thunderbolts.

tanks which performed so well
in the African desert, where
they were recently joined by
the newer and better General
Shermans. He was talking about
a whole series of mobile weap
ons and about various vehicles
of transport from Jeeps to land
ing barges.
It Is impossible, for security
reasons, to scale precisely the
tremendous growth in the
Army's supply of weapons. In
general, it is known that air-.
plane production has passed
5.000 planes a month, and the
production for the year will
approach near the 00,000 goal
first advanced by President
Roosevelt.
A measure of the country's
air armaments is given by the
fact that the Army Air Forces
personnel now is estimated to
number around 1,000.000, com
pared with less than 200,000
before Pearl Harbor.
The Army's armored strength
is indicated by the fact that nine
new armored divisions were ac
tivated during the year, whereas
only five existed at the close of
1941. And 31 new Infantry di
visions were created during the
year, as well as two new air
borne divisions.
Naval expansion has kept
pace. As In the case of the Army,

Congress acted speedily after

to expand the fleet to meet war
