Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army fought World War II with materiel much of which was developed in the decade prior to our entry, particularly in the period following the German blitz in Poland. Our efforts to develop munitions to the point where our armies could cope on equal terms with those of potential enemies are covered here in this, the first of three projected volumes on the history of the Ordnance Department in World War II. How well the Ordnance Department succeeded in matching the Germans in quality continues to be a matter of debate both within the Ordnance Department itself, and between the using arms and the Department. That the battle of quantity was won-with the help of a superb industrial machine-can hardly be denied. This volume, the result of diligent research by Dr. Constance McL. Green and her associates, should interest not only military men but also scientists, industrialists, and laymen in general. Among other things, it shows the urgent necessity of a directed, continuous, and intensive research program and the danger in failing to recognize and profit by developments abroad. Also shown is the inherent time interval between the drawing board and the production of the end item in quantity."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This United States Army policy, Army Regulation AR 700-28 Logistics: Ammunition Management October 2020, provides policy for Army peacetime and wartime allocation of class V conventional ammunition and missiles that require intensive management. It provides policy for execution of Army responsibilities for the distribution of new production and stockpiles to Army and non-Army customers as prescribed in DoDD 5160.65, which also addresses the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition and implements appropriate portions of DoDD 5160.65. The Secretary of the Army is the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition. That official has delegated authority to Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology). The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) has, in turn, delegated execution of the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition operations to the Joint Program Executive Office Armaments and Ammunition. This regulation also implements in the Army allocation process the joint conventional ammunition policies and those of the Joint Materiel Priorities and Allocation Board. This regulation applies to the Regular Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve. It also applies to Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition elements within the Army and those activities supporting the Army's mission to all Department of Defense military Services.

Download or read book Enhancing Joint Capabilities in Theater Ammunition Management written by John Frederic Schank and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1991 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commander in chief (CINC) of a U.S. unified command develops the strategies for and oversees the development of operational plans for employing and sustaining the U.S. military forces in his theater or geographic area of responsibility. Besides having operational command over his service components in both peacetime and wartime, the CINC has "directive authority" over logistics, which permits him in wartime to authorize commanders to use all facilities and logistics resources available as necessary for the accomplishment of their operational missions. The CINCs must have flexible and responsive management systems that can identify potential sustainability and supportability problems and allocate logistics resources in concert with operational plans and objectives. This report defines the data, knowledge, and analytic tools required by the CINC/Logistics Directorate (J-4) staffs in wartime and compares those requirements with the capabilities currently available or under development. The authors recommend enhanced data, knowledge, and models that would improve the CINC/J-4 staffs' ability to assess the ammunition supportability of current and planned operations.

Download or read book Optimizing the Capacity and Operation of US Army Ammunition Production Facilities written by Vedat Bayram and published by . This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the executive agent for ammunition, the Army manages the arsenals and plants that produce conventional ammunition for the Department of Defense. This industrial base must be able to manufacture a wide range of ammunition and ordnance items. In peacetime, the Army tests new rounds, makes training rounds, and manufactures rounds or components for war reserves, stockpile maintenance and upgrades. The Army must also manage and maintain capacity to replenish ammunition consumed by major theater wars without expanding the industrial base. The combined organic and inorganic industrial base can meet current requirements, but parts are becoming obsolete, and are expensive to operate To improve efficiency and reduce per-unit costs while maintaining strategic control of this key defense capability, the Army is seeking to reconfigure facilities, and stabilize production rates. The Army realizes that the industrial base structure has to change. This thesis provides a prototypic decision support model that captures the essence of their problem by optimizing transition actions while satisfying complicated long-term constraints on resources, management, and capacity. The model suggests yearly decisions for a planning horizon of a decade or more, and is demonstrated with 16 organic installations, structures located therein, and process centers housed in those structures.

Download or read book The Other End of the Spear written by John J. Mcgrath and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

Download or read book Vietnam Studies Command and Control 1950 1969 Illustrated Edition written by Major General George S. Eckhardt and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Includes 11 charts, 1 map, and 20 illustrations] “In combat situations prior to Vietnam, U.S. military forces had an existing command and control structure which could be tailored to accomplish the task at hand. In Europe during World War II General Dwight D. Eisenhower modified the command structures developed for the North African and Mediterranean operations to form Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). After his departure from Bataan in 1942, General Douglas MacArthur had several months in which to design the command structure that ultimately contributed to the defeat of the Japanese...There, the command and control arrangements, which ultimately directed a U.S. Military force of over 500,000 men, evolved from a small military assistance mission established in 1950. The Military Assistance Advisory Group’s philosophy of assistance rather than command significantly influenced the development of the organization. “This monograph describes the development of the U. S. military command and control structure in Vietnam. The focus of the study is primarily on the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), and the U.S. Army in Vietnam (USARV). The relationships with the joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), Commander in Chief, Pacific (CINCPAC), U.S. Army, Pacific (USARPAC), and other outside agencies are discussed only as their decisions, policies, and directives affected MACV and operations within South Vietnam. The air war against North Vietnam and naval operations of the U.S. Seventh Fleet were CINCPAC’s responsibilities and are only mentioned in regard to their impact on MACV and the forces under MACV. “This study is not a conventional military or diplomatic history of the war in Vietnam. Rather, it is an analytical appraisal of the command and control structure.”
