Excerpt from Logistical Support of the Armies, Vol. 1 of 2: May 1941 September 1944
The necessity of anticipating events so that the needs of men in current day battle can be promptly and continuously met is evident even to a casual reader. The question whether the modern soldier demands too much on the battlefield is one for all to ponder.
Man tends to regard the problems with which he is faced as unique. To guide those faced with the logistic problems of the future, a number of supply principles have been laid down in regulations. This record of World War II experience tells how the principles were actually applied. Those who take the time and trouble to study it will find their efforts well rewarded.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, which begins with the arrival of the first small group of US Army Special Observers in the United Kingdom in the spring of 1941, recounts how US forces were built up in the UK for the great invasion of 1944, and how they were supplied during operations on the European Continent. The author relates the problems of logistic support to tactical plans and operations, and shows the direct bearing which logistic support or lack of it had on the planning and conduct of combat operations by the field armies. While the story of procurement, movement, and distribution of supplies and manpower is told largely from the point of view of the theater or SOS-Communications Zone, the focus throughout is on the influence which logistic support or lack of it had on the planning and conduct of combat operations by the field armies.
