tive use of from 4 to seven addi- 1
tional soldiers.'' *
Selection of individuals to be '
returned under the quotas assign
ed to overseas commanders, the
report explained, is "the sole re
sponsibility of the authorities in
the theater." Determination is
based on local conditions, with
•
consideration given to the length
of service of each individual, his
value to his unit ami "the morale
of the individuals in the unit,'
including the extent of rebuilding
of mind and body required." I
"In no instance," the Depart
ment said," can a soldier be 'in
sured that he will be returned as
soon as he Ins served for a stated
tir..r' an I ' the War Departr. : •
cannot justifiably initiate action
looking tn the return of ar.\ .1

tion of these procedures."
"Reduction in the si/e of our
forces in areas .where further
threats from the enemy are m»
anticipated has permitted tile re
turn of some men. Others are be
ing sent back to this country on
temporary duty for a rest period,
after which they are returned ov
erseas, 1. > v • •

" Soldiers capable of further use-.
ful service abroad, the Depart
ment said, are returned "only i:'
trained replacements are avail
able...or if the total strength of
the command can be reduced eith-.
er temporarily or permanently."
The availability of shipping:
space, the rejwirt pointed out.'
"imposes a very definite ceiling " j
on transfers, shipping limitations
primarily affecting the movement
of personnel from this country t >j
overseas theaters rather than the'
retain of men from abroad.
While a man sent hone '• ..
abroad for subsequent return t >
his unit may obtain only 30 da' '1
furlough. i f f. ! led, ho act:: l'y !r

of the time being used for travel
and for retraining. On the otVr
hand, a man returned for subse
quent assignment to a new over
seas post may be absent from an
active theater for six or seven
monthi because of the longer pe
riod of training reninrrd.
