The case of the Army and Navy for a combined force of 11,100,000 armed men (and women auxiliaries) by the end of 1944 was presented in a report to Congress by 75-year-old Senator Theodore Francis Green of Rhode Island...
Figuring out these backgrounds-like practically every TIME operation -is a job for group journalism. Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, Picture Editor and department head all lend a hand.

Lou bellowed orders to his platoon so boisterously that he sounded like all the sergeants in the Corps. He went along...
...Crimson has been a big help to all of the Army ROTC students as well as to the Military Science Department by publishing promptly and in considerable detail many of the decisions of the War Department that were of tremendous importance to the students. Matters pertaining to enlistment in the Enlisted Reserve Corps, to the modifications in the ROTC program, and to the college training program, were published for the students and others concerned therein at an early date and were in many cases the only means the students had of getting this information of vital interest to them...
