When the United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, there were 693 officers and 17,400 enlisted Marines on active duty serving around the world. This number is deceiving in that only three years before, in 1914, there were only a total of 10,000 officers and men serving in the Marine Corps. Congress had prudently increased the Corps' end-strength in anticipation of a war with Germany. The manpower was further increased after the declaration of war to 1,197 officers, 126 warrant officers and 30,000 enlisted men, thereby tripling the number of Marines on active duty in three years. Included in these totals were activated reservists, and, for the first time in Marine Corps history, women Marines. Major General Commandant George Barnett insisted that the Corps' obligations around the world be addressed before sending Marines to France. Once that was accomplished, he approached Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and persuaded him that Marines needed to be sent to France
