In a December address to Congress, President Wilson outlines a broad plan for national defense including a larger regular army, a 400000 strong citizen force, a major navy build up with specific ship counts, and a reinforced merchant marine. He warns of domestic disloyalty and urges new revenue sources to fund military and transportation needs while stressing the Americas partnership and federal rail coordination.
The department of war plans to raise regular army strength from 5 023 officers and 102 985 enlisted men to 7 136 officers and 134 707 enlisted men with 400 000 disciplined citizens.
