I believe the peak was between 9,000,000 and 11,000,000.

Before the outbreak of the Second World War, the United States Army was a small professional force of 175,000 men.

In 1940 the first peace-time draft took place and by the summer of 1941 the army had 1,400,000 men.

When the United States entered the war plans were made to establish 105 divisions but in fact only 100 divisions were created before the end of the war. Under Marshall's direction, in less than four years, the army grew to a force of 8,300,000 men.

the number does include "air force" but not navy.

hope this was helpful.
