A Majority of those who came after dec. 41 was send to Europe.
The number of military personal who fought in the pacific
"At the time of Pearl Harbor, General MacArthur's ground forces consisted of the Philippine Army of 10 divisions and supporting troops, with a total strength of about 100,000, and a U.S. Regular Army contingent of more than 25,000."
