Army Opposes Large Increase in Regular Forces

Washington reports the army high command will oppose boosting regular army strength above 500000, saying current capacity, training, and equipment limit ready troops. Congress has funded growth to 875000, with debate looming as options for larger increases surface next week. General Marshall warned increases beyond 500000 would disrupt plans and strip National Guard of needed gear. A 375000 expansion allows nine infantry divisions, two mechanized divisions, and preserves one cavalry division, with new units based at Camp Ord California Camp Jackson South Carolina and Fort Benning Georgia.
