Estimating U.S. and Soviet Latent Prewar Industrial Mobilization Potentials. Appendix,

Abstract

This is an appendix to a study on the 'Impact of Enhanced Mobilization Potential ON Civil Preparedness Planning'. It develops an estimate of the relative latent industrial mobilization potentials of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. based on the presently available industrial workforce and capaicity for each nation. It concludes that the Soviets have the theoretical potential to shift the perceived balance of conventional forces substantially in their own favor during the first several years of a competitive industrial mobilization.
