The Army, because the Army ROTC was at more colleges than the Navy. Texas A&M's ROTC program commissioned 15,000 officers that served in World War 2, more than any other school, including West Point.
The Bracero Program .
The Bracero Program was a US government program to import Mexican men to work as agricultural laborers during WWII. It was begun because most young, strong American men were in uniform during WWII, and not available to do this work. Ten per cent of the US population was in the military during the war, almost all of them young men.
In 1942, the United States initiated the Bracero Program to address labor shortages during World War II by bringing in temporary agricultural workers from Mexico. The program aimed to fill gaps in the labor force, particularly in agriculture and railroads, as many American workers were enlisted in the military. The Bracero Program facilitated the legal entry of hundreds of thousands of Mexican laborers, helping to sustain the economy during the war years. It continued until 1964, significantly impacting U.S.-Mexico relations and labor dynamics.
The largest factor was Germany's program of unrestricted submarine warfare; even attacking neutral ships in British waters, resulting in the deaths of many Americans.
The U.S. government passed the GI Bill, officially known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, to assist World War II veterans in pursuing higher education. This legislation provided funding for tuition, housing, and other educational expenses, enabling millions of veterans to attend college and vocational schools. The GI Bill significantly contributed to the expansion of the American middle class and the post-war economy.
They weren't. Many were full commissioned officers.
Foreign Service Officers (FSOs) are commissioned by the U.S. federal government through a rigorous selection process conducted by the U.S. Department of State. This process typically includes a written exam, an oral assessment, and a thorough background check. Successful candidates are then nominated for a commission as FSOs, which grants them the authority to represent U.S. interests abroad. Once commissioned, they undergo extensive training before being assigned to various diplomatic posts around the world.

During World War II, the German Navy, known as the Kriegsmarine, had a rank structure similar to other naval forces. The main ranks included enlisted personnel (Matrose, Obermatrose), non-commissioned officers (Bootsmann, Oberbootsmann), and commissioned officers (Leutnant zur See, Kapitänleutnant, and Kapitän zur See). The highest rank was Admiral, with various grades such as Großadmiral being held by prominent leaders like Karl Dönitz. This hierarchy reflected both operational command and administrative roles within the Navy.
The Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (NROTC) is a program designed by the Department of the Navy. The core philosophy of the program is to have trained and educated naval officers who are ready to serve at a moments notice sitting in reserve. In exchange for anywhere from four to eight years of active service, the Navy will pay for the tuition to an approved civilian college or university. The student who joins an NROTC program can major in any field at the college that provides a bachelors degree. There are some required classes that must be taken to fulfill the requirements of the program, but they are standard classes (except for Naval Sciences). The student will not only be attending academic learning classes, but will also be training to join the Navy. This means there will be training and drills during the week. On average, there is roughly fifteen hours of Naval training per week. This time will increase as the student progresses through the program. Once the program is completed, the student will graduate and join the United States Navy as a commissioned Ensign. They will have to serve for eight years afterwards. At least four of those years will have to be active duty. In addition to a scholarship, commissioned rank in the Navy, and extensive training, the NROTC program also allows for a monthly cash allowance that is paid to students who are participating and succeeding the programs. It is necessary to maintain a 2.75 grade point average to keep all of these benefits and remain in the program. During summer months, the training of the students (also called midshipmen now) continues. In their freshman year they are taken on a naval cruise. This allows the students to experience life on a real Navy vessel and get real world experience. In the next few years, they repeatedly return to naval bases to take more advanced classes and gain more experience. For those who are just starting college and looking to enlist in the Navy or Marines and begin with a commissioned rank from the start, the NROTC program is an excellent way to begin.

General John J. Pershing recommended that non-commissioned officers be provided with separate mess facilities during World War I. He believed that this separation would enhance morale and discipline among the troops, recognizing the leadership role of NCOs in maintaining order and efficiency within the ranks. This recommendation reflected his broader efforts to improve the welfare and effectiveness of American forces during the war.
The great mobilization of World War II not only increased the numbers of non-commissioned officers but also led to significant advancements in military training and tactics. As the demand for skilled leaders grew, many enlisted personnel received accelerated training, enhancing their leadership capabilities. This shift contributed to the overall effectiveness and adaptability of armed forces in various theaters of war. Additionally, the experience gained during the conflict helped shape post-war military structures and leadership roles.
