Obviously counting on conscription, which has still to be voted into law, he planned to have 16 divisions fully organized by Jan. i, 1941: nine regular Army infantry, four National Guard infantry, one cavalry, two armored divisions. Not till much later-probably around April 1942-could the Army have its full P. M. P. force manned and equipped, its Air Corps program reasonably well under...
