5 Ante, p.-.
SIR ALAN BROOKE said that he understood that the question of
equipment for Allied and liberated forces had been under discussion
by General Somervell and General Riddell-Webster. It was under-
stood that the requirement for internal security for mobile military
labor and miscellaneous units could be cut from a total commitment
of 460,000 to 400,000 and equipped on the scale of British forces
rather than a United States scale-a commitment which he believed
that the British could undertake. It would however be necessary to
confirm this with the War Office, which would be done as quickly as
possible.
The COMBINED CHIEFS OF STAFF:
a. Took note that SCAEF's requirements in liberated manpower
could be reduced from 460,000 to 400,000.
b. Agreed to the implementation of the proposals in NAF 8416 upon
6 Not printed.
assurance by the British Chiefs of Staff that, subject to confirmation
from London, this implementation would not:
(1) Interfere with the provision already affirmed in principle of
equipment, on the scale for British forces, for Allied and liberated
forces in Northwest Europe, nor
(2) Result in subsequent direct or indirect charges against U. S.
resources.
