Define "Numerous." There are "Numerous" bits of info all over the net, here is one:

Thirty-seven Army divisions were in some state of training, but only one was fully trained, equipped, and deployable by January 1942. Army planners of the time estimated that victory would require an Army of nearly 9 million men, organized into 215 combat divisions, estimates that proved accurate regarding overall manpower but too ambitious for the 90 divisions that eventually were established and supported on far-flung battlefields.

Besides we only had 4 large aircraft carriers. Our Battleships were obsolete. Started building some destroyers for Britain. Our army was the 14th largest in the world. The Japanese were certainly not afraid of what we had.
