It is unfortunate, but many‘ Prenchmen cannot help compare the German wehrmacht soldiers of the wartime occupation with American G, 1.’s of the postwar redeployment period.

52 WEEKS

Charts prepared by army staff planners show how military training would be concentrated inte a 52-weeks continuous program. The army prefers this plan to one which would break up the training inte four summer vacations. Top line in lower chart indicates ground forces; center line, service forces,

bottom line, air forces.

OF THE navy's 273,000, the marines would get about 45,000, the sea forces taking the remaining 228,000. - Of the army's 720,000, approximately one-third, or 240,000, would go to the ground forces, third would go to .the air, forces, the final third to the service forces. _All trainees would be permitted to select the branch of service in which they wished to train, up to the limits of each force and pro‘vided the trainee could qualify for the technical skill required.

SUPPOSE the young man went into the army. He would first have to undergo nine weeks of basic training, regardless of whether he ended up in air or ground forces. Here he would learn the. fundamental life of the soldier—personal
