War Department limits furlohs return rate to 30,000 monthly
The War Department told the House military committee that about 30,000 servicemen abroad can be returned monthly without derailing the drive to finish the war. The plan requires immobilizing four to seven times that number in overseas theaters to free up carriers and units, with selection based on local needs, service length, unit value and morale. Rehabilitation and recovery remain key, and returns proceed only when trained replacements exist or force strength can be reduced.
