*Includes one Mountain Division These units were added with a net increase of 124,000 enlisted men for combat units of the Army Ground Forces after 1942 (See Table V). Addition of so many combat units with so little increase of total combat strength was made possible by inactivation of combat units of other types (antiaircraft, tank destroyer, coast artillery, non-divisional infantry) and by reduction of unit tables of organization SOURCE: Troop Basis of 23 February 1943 and 1 May 1945(S), For Basis of computation of Table V see Study No. 3. |
