Summary:
This series contains charts enumerating the number of volunteers in each local war council who had been, or were being, trained for specific home front activities. Many, but not all, war councils reported these figures, which the Office of Civilian Mobilization (OCM) collected in order to track local war councils' volunteer needs. Civilian War Services was the OCM division responsible for carrying out many home front programs, while the Office of Civilian Protection worked on civil defense projects.
