The current strength is 3,006,000 with 194,000 more enlisted and 186,000 more next year approved. No relief from Europe’s defeat. selective service will supply most of the increase. Offshore transfers are indefinite as European forces wind down. Moving forces from Europe to the Pacific will strain logistics and delay full Pacific buildup.
