"§ 3202. Army: strength in grade; general officers 10 USC 3202. "(a) The authorized strength of the Army in general officers on active duty on the last day of each fiscal year, exclusive of officers on active duty for training only and officers serving with other departments or agencies on a reimbursable basis, is based on the total number of officers authorized for the Army in all commissioned grades under section 521 of this title as follows: ^«^e, p. 2841. "If the total number of officers authorized in all commissioned grades is— 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 90,000 100,000 110,000 120,000 130,000 140,000 150,000
The authorized strength for general officers is— 350 400 425 450 475 495 510 520 530 540 550.
If the total number of officers authorized in all commissioned grades is between two of the figures listed in the first column of the table, the authorized strength for general officers is determined by mathematical interpolation between the respective authorized strengths listed in the table. If such number is more than 150,000, the Secretary of the Army shall fix the corresponding authorized strength in general officers in general conformity with the table. "(b) Whenever the number of general officers is less than the number authorized under this section, the difference between the two numbers may be applied to increase the number authorized under section 523 of this title for any lower grade to which such section is Ante, p. 2842. applicable. "(c) In time of war, or of national emergency declared by Congress or the President after November 30, 1980, the President may suspend the operation of any provision of this section. So long as such war or national emergency continues, any such suspension may be extended by the President. Any such suspension shall, if not sooner ended, end on the last day of the two-year period beginning on the date on which the suspension (or the last extension thereof) takes effect or on the last day of the one-year period beginning on the date of the termination of the war or national emergency, whichever occurs first. With respect to the end of any such suspension, the preceding sentence supersedes the provisions of title II of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1621-1622) which provide that powers or authorities exercised by reason of a national emergency shall cease to be exercised after the date of the termination of the emergency.". (b) Section 8202, relating to the authorized strength of the Air Force in officers on active duty in certain grades, is amended to read as follows: "§ 8202. Air Force: strength in grade; general officers "(a) The authorized strength of the Air Force in general officers on active duty on the last day of each fiscal year, exclusive of officers on active duty for training only and officers serving with other departments or agencies on a reimbursable basis, is based on the total number of officers authorized for the Air Force in all commissioned grades under section 521 of this title on active duty as follows:
