Victory Program

The Oxford Essential Dictionary of the U.S. Military | 2001 | Copyright

Victory Program the plan developed by the U.S. Army War Plans Division for the mobilization of the American manpower and materiel needed to defeat the Axis powers in World War II. The principal architect of the “Jenkin Program” was Maj. (later Lt. Gen.) Albert C. Wedemeyer, who calculated that the United States could mobilize a maximum of 8,75,658 men organized in 213 Army divisions. In the event, by May 31, 1945, the United States had mobilized 8,291,236 men, including U.S. Army Air Forces personnel, organized in only 90 divisions, a force barely sufficient, with the aid of our allies, to defeat first Germany and then Japan.
