The correct statements about US mobilization for war are:<br /><br />* **American productivity would help the Allies:** The US became a vital supplier of war materials to Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and other Allied nations through programs like Lend-Lease. This significantly boosted the Allied war effort.<br />* **Defense budget $17 Billion:** The defense budget increased dramatically in the lead-up to and during World War II. $17 billion is a closer approximation of the appropriations than $5 billion.<br />* **Mobilization began prior to Pearl Harbor:** While Pearl Harbor dramatically accelerated mobilization, the US had already begun ramping up military production and expanding its armed forces before the attack, particularly after the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939. The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, for example, introduced the first peacetime draft in US history.<br />
