Sixteen million Americans served in WWII. This was 10% of the US population of 160 million. Ten per cent was reckoned the most that could be taken for military service in a modern, industrial economy without beginning to harm war production.

Over eight million of these served in the US Army and another three million served in the US Army Air Force (the Air Force was still a part of the Army until after the war, becoming independent in 1947). About three million served in the US Navy, and about 700,000 were in the Marine Corps (which is a part of the Navy).
