Six U S Divisions Planned for Europe Defense
Secretary of Defense Marshall outlined a plan to deploy six U S Army divisions to Europe, joining allied forces to deter Communist aggression. The move would add about 100000 troops, with support units, to a proposed total defense force of about 40 divisions under Eisenhower. Marshall urged Congress not to constrain troop levels, while hearings questioned the scope and authority of such commitments. The plan expands the current European force to strengthen western alliance.
