By virtue of the authority conferred upon me by section 8 of the act of Congress approved December 20, 1941, 55 Stat. 846, and as Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and deeming such action necessary in the interests of national defense, it is ordered as follows:

The periods of service or training and service of all persons inducted under the provisions of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, as amended, who have been, or may hereafter be, inducted into or assigned to the Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard shall be, and they are hereby, extended for the period of the existence of any war in which the United States is engaged and the six months immediately following the termination of any such war, as declared by proclamation of the President or by concurrent resolution of the Congress, unless such persons are sooner discharged.
