Movement Of 250000 Troops Not Easy Task
Washington reports that reinforcing or moving 250 000 American troops in danger spots is constrained by limited reserve forces. About 30 000 soldiers exist in the continental United States, with around 160 Army ships in operation of which fewer than 60 are troopships. Navy and commercial vessels could be diverted, and the Maritime Commission reserve fleet adds over 1400 laid up craft but would take three weeks to several months to mobilize. Air Force troop transport units are inadequate for mass overseas moves.
