(c) The figures for divisions that can be kept fully maintained are based on the assumption that Russia's initial war potential was capable of maintaining in active operations some 300 divisions (including some 45 cavalry and 35 tank divisions). Of this total of 300, some 40 50 are in the Far East. It is assumed that the Far Eastern Army is inactive. Should it engage in active operations against Japan, the number of divisions that could be maintained against the Germans would be reduced by at least 40, as soon as the stocks in the Far East, believed to be about three months' war supply, were exhausted.
