He said he had hammered at higher headquarters almost daily for 22 months trying to get more ammunition.

General Clark told him the steel strike had knocked out 37 per cent of the 1952 ammunition production. (Undersecretary of the Army Johnson later said the strike affected production adversely but that Clark's figure of 37 per cent was too high.) 8. The Army in Korea is being forced to depend on the Air Force for strikes at the enemy which could be handled by artillery, given enough ammunition. 9. When he first went to Korea, artillery strength in each division averaged 21 battalions compared to 12 battalions in each division fighting in Europe in World War II.
