Riassunto

Excerpt from The Supply Train: Its Organization and Work

The first purpose of this book is to furnish National Army Sup-ply Train Officers, now in the process of organizing Divisional Supply Trains, or who will be detailed for such a duty in the future, with complete information for their use in the organiza tion, administration, training, and operation of their companies. It represents a compilation of all available data on the subject, from such widely varied sources as the experiences of motor truck companies organized at the time of the Punitive Expedition into Mexico, and information gathered from the French auto mobile service. This information the authors have endeavored to compile in as well organized and as well balanced a form as possible, though they have not tried to make it apply wholly to our special mission in France. With its complete detail as to the duties of all members of motor truck companies, as to the Opera tion of motor trucks, and as to truck equipment, truck mechanism and the cause and remedy of truck troubles, it is designed to be of use to every truckmaster and chauffeur. As in the motor transport service each man is so largely a separate unit, he must be a man of intelligence and have a clear understanding of the make-up and operation of his organization.

It is hoped, too, that the book will be useful to officers of other arms. The authors know from experience what a hazy idea the majority of officers of other arms have of the Supply Train, just where it fits in the organization of the division and just what its function is; they would be at a loss in the field to know whom to consult when the services of motor transportation were needed. Chapters II and III, it is believed, will be especially valuable to fill this need.
