How many Americans served in the Pacific Theater compared to the European front in WW2?

by CollectsLlamas

Pretty simple question but I’m having trouble finding an answer online. I’m just trying to gain perspective on the scale of US involvement on both fronts. Also curious to hear how servicemen and resources were divided up accordingly

This post by https://www.reddit.com/user/the_howling_cow gives some troop figures split between theatres and gives some discussion of how troops were split up.

This thread u/QuickSpore discusses more of the Europe-First strategy and how specific divisions were allocated at the time of the German surrender.

This thread discusses more on a micro scale how individuals would be assigned.
