I get it now, and Adak's right, the key word here seems to be "mobilized". 4.7 M were "mobilized".

And perhaps it's the difference between mobilization of European soldiers (go right to the battlefield gents, it's 100 yards to your left) and American soldiers (you're trained, in uniform, and have a dog tag, now wait here on base while we find more boats).
