An all-out campaign to enroll
In the United States Navy men'
required to men and maintain
the essential activities of the
Navy Fleet will be conducted
throughout the nation during the
week of February 22nd W 29th.
This period has been designated
as "Fill The Fleet" Week, and
•will climax an accelerated recruitment
activity to bqgin in
January.
Aim of this concentrated' campaign,
which bears the endorsement
of national civic organisations
and leaders, is to enlist in
the Navy enough young men to
keep in operating condition, the
currently active ships, aircraft,
and supporting bases of the United
States Fleet
Fill The Fleet Week is designated
to provide replacement for
those who will leave the naval
service by reason of retirement,
expiration of enlistment, and other
attritlonal causes.
The Navy now is facing a
critical personnel problem. During
wartime, ninety-two per cent
of its strength consisted of naval
reservists. With demobilisation
—s
civilian life it became necessary
to accept short-term enlistments
in the regular Navy to fill, the
gaps caused by rapid demobilization
and still maintain the active
forces required in support of our
national policy.
| It is these enlistments that an
now expiring In large number*—a
total of 232,000 during the>
1948 fiscal year—whloh creates
the urgent current need for recruits
to maintain the Fleet at
operating strength.
Through local leaders, clubs,
and civic organizations, each
citizen is being asked to give full
and active support to the achievement
of the recruiting program.
