Indexer Notes
Although a note on the last page of the final story and the editors note on the following page both state that issue number two would be on sale in two months, no subsequent issue was published as Army at War was one of the titles cancelled when DC's parent company forced a sudden significant reduction in the number of titles DC published, an event known as the DC Implosion.
On-sale date from Comic Reader #158.

Indexer Notes
An introduction to this title, comparing it with the original Our Army at War title that at this time had already changed its name to Sgt. Rock. Paul notes how they had only seven days notice before the art for this issue was due.
There is also a list of DC's other war titles, including calling Men of War "the companion magazine to this title."
