                          REQUIREMENTS.
 
IV.  MAJOR STRATEGY OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS ASSOCIATES.  (Cont'd)
 
          28.   In Appendix II the Chief of Staff presents estimated requirements for the United
States and foreign armies, including aviation for ferccs other than United States naval aviation.
The Chief of Staff believes that the equipmont set up in the Army program should be assembled, if
practicable from the viewpoint of industry,  against the possible necessity of an all-out effort
against Germany and her allies. The position of the Chief of Staff is that the maximum
requirements of the Navy and Army, as related to to tonnage and the probable conflicts in
material, priority and production faci!ities, should bo surveyed by OPN and then if necessary
readjusted by the Joint Board within the limits determined by OPN.
