We stood down from 1946-1949, and began to approach pre-WWII levels. American armed forces went from tens of millions on active duty to hundreds of thousands. The Cold War rearmament and buildup didn't start in earnest until after the start of Korean War, and didn't reach near national mobilization levels until Kennedy Administration.
