Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transportation of troops and supplies to build up and maintain the force of more than five million soldiers deployed overseas by the United States Army in World War II involved operations of unprecedented magnitude and complexity, both across the oceans and within the military theaters of the war. The movement of supplies for allied forces greatly increased the Army's transportation task. The two preceding volumes of this group have told the story of Army transportation in the continental United States. This volume deals with land and water movements in theaters of operations around the world. It surveys port, railway, highway, and water operations that constituted a major, and in some instances a controlling, factor in the prosecution of the war. Time and again the Army's experience during the war underlined the need for clearly recognizing the importance of transportation in planning and executing tactical as well as logistical operations. After the creation of the Transportation Corps in July 1942, transportation activities overseas became increasingly its concern and were carried out in ever-widening measure by staff officers and units provided by the Corps to overseas theaters. The focus of this volume is nevertheless on Army transportation problems and activities as a whole, since other services also had a very large hand in moving troops and supplies within the theaters. The authors have told their story from the records and the points of view both of the oversea commands and of the Transportation Corps in Washington. If it is at times a story of inadequate performance, primarily because of shortages of trained men and suitable equipment, it is also a story of over-all success in delivering the men and the goods when and where they were needed to defeat the enemy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearhead of Logistics is a narrative branch history of the U.S. Army's Transportation Corps, first published in 1994 for transportation personnel and reprinted in 2001 for the larger Army community. The Quartermaster Department coordinated transportation support for the Army until World War I revealed the need for a dedicated corps of specialists. The newly established Transportation Corps, however, lasted for only a few years. Its significant utility for coordinating military transportation became again transparent during World War II, and it was resurrected in mid-1942 to meet the unparalleled logistical demands of fighting in distant theaters. Finally becoming a permanent branch in 1950, the Transportation Corps continued to demonstrate its capability of rapidly supporting U.S. Army operations in global theaters over the next fifty years. With useful lessons of high-quality support that validate the necessity of adequate transportation in a viable national defense posture, it is an important resource for those now involved in military transportation and movement for ongoing expeditionary operations. This text should be useful to both officers and noncommissioned officers who can take examples from the past and apply the successful principles to future operations, thus ensuring a continuing legacy of Transportation excellence within Army operations. Additionally, military science students and military historians may be interested in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The matter of transportation at home and abroad becomes one of first importance when war strikes. The strain on the transportation systems and the conflict of civilian and military demands become immediate and serious problems. In two world wars the United States has had to solve many of these problems after hostilities began, and therefore to solve them in haste, by trial and error. As new and improved means of transport are introduced, the questions of military transportation become more difficult. The horse and mule had their shortcomings, but their use involved few of the complications that bedevil the military in this machine age. The armed forces must have not only adequate equipment but also replacement parts to keep that equipment operating in the field. Efficient use of transportation necessitates co-ordination within the armed forces and between military and civilian agencies. During World War II much was done to increase effective use of ships, railway cars, and motor vehicles, but efforts to balance the competitive demands of civilian and military traffic in the zone of interior were only partially successful. Careful planning is necessary to reduce difficulties such as those which beset us in 1917 and 1941. The present volume, first of this series to deal with the Army's technical services, begins an account of the transportation problems of the Army and their solution in World War II, including those of inter-Allied co-ordination. This volume is the first of three concerning the Army Transportation Corps in World War II. It delineates the nature of the transportation task, the functions and organization of the Transportation Corps, and its operating problems and relationships in the zone of interior. A second volume will deal with the execution of troop and supply movements in the zone of interior and to the oversea commands, the organization and training of Transportation Corps troops, and the development, procurement, and distribution of Transportation Corps mat�riel. A third volume will describe Transportation Corps organization and activities in oversea theaters and bases. Between the covers of this book is to be found information that will contribute substantially to our planning and preparation for transportation emergencies in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of World War II is making increasingly clear the central fact that the tightest rein on the military effort of the United States in that war was imposed by transportation. As long as this nation fights overseas the same situation is likely to reoccur-a prospect that gives a special importance to the exposition of the subject in this series. The Army promptly recognized the importance of transportation when, as in World War I, it centralized its supervision of this branch of its vast logistical effort in a Chief of Transportation and created (in July 1942) a Transportation Corps. The Army did not, and could not, control all the factors that entered into the movement of its men, munitions, and supplies. The larger story the reader must seek elsewhere- in the two volumes on Global Logistics and Strategy and in the theater volumes of the U.S. ARMY IN WORLD WAR IL Here the story is told from the records and point of view of the Army's Chief of Transportation, Maj. Gen. Charles P. Gross. In this volume, the second in the group of three Transportation Corps volumes, Mr. Wardlow passes to the policies and methods adopted to move men and mat�riel within the continental United States and out to theaters of operations-the core of General Gross's mission-and to provide the Transportation Corps' quota of equipment and trained soldiers necessary to accomplish its overseas mission.
