Two Million Men by Fall
Secretary Baker and other Washington leaders forecast that the United States will field two million soldiers in France before winter, with Allied forces adding manpower and equipment. Pershing may field only a quarter million unless a great emergency arises, while much of the initial force served in support roles. The article notes extensive American logistics and production efforts already in place, including docks, railroads, warehouses, hospitals, air domes, and an automobile and motor repair plant, shaping a large future army as ships and transports accelerate troop movements. It hopes for an offensive in France before winter and anticipates improved aircraft numbers and potential incursions into German territory.
