Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers, Europe, Paris, France

General of The Army Eisenhower

The mission of this command is the defense of Western Europe; to insure that, if an emergency comes the forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization nations will be ready to implement the war plans which have been agreed upon.

National Forces are responsible for their own logistical support. Coordination of logistical support is the responsibility of the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe.

Refer to organizational charts 7 and 8.

European Command Headquarters, Heidelberg, Germany-Gen. T. T. Handy

In addition to operational and strategic responsibilities, the Commander in Chief, European Command, is responsible for the logistic and administrative support for United States military effectiveness in furtherance of the theater mission.

The creation of the Atlantic Pact Forces for the defense of Western Europe and the anticipated build-up of American strength necessitated a revision of the supply establishments to support our new operational mission in defense of that theater. This change in organization of the supply system is currently in process.

Included in the responsibilities mentioned above are those supply management functions necessary to determine theater requirements and procure the supplies needed to maintain local assets at a proper level to support Army forces with all items and to support Air Forces with Army-purchased common items. The Commander in Chief, European Command, discharges these responsibilities through his Director of Logistics (Maj. Gen. Aaron Bradshaw) and his Chiefs of Technical Services.

Theater QM Stock Control Point, Giessen, Germany, 7856 Quartermaster Requirements and Distribution Group-Lieutenant Colonel E. P. Flynn

This activity, organizationally, is an integral part of the Theater Quartermaster's immediate office. It is located at Giessen in order that it may use the required electrical accounting machines jointly with the Giessen Quartermaster Depot as an economy measure. The Chief of this activity reports directly to the Theater Quartermaster with reference to the performance of his mission.

The mission of the activity is to determine over-all Quartermaster requirements of the theater, to procure these supplies, and control the build-up and distribution of all Quartermaster items stocked in the command.

At this agency you will get an on-the-spot view of the implementation of the Army's program to use modern, comprehensive stock control procedures to manage theater assets. You will see how issue experience information is accumulated at the Theater Stock Control Point and analyzed to establish a theater "requisitioning objective" which is closely in accord with the actual requirements for each item used in the theater. You will see how repair of unserviceable material is closely scheduled into depot stocks to fill anticipated requirements and how "dues-in" from this source, and from local procurement, are considered when computing quantities to be requisitioned from the Continental United States. Communications Zone Headquarters, Orleans, France-Brigadier General M. J. Young

Since the end of World War II, the United States troops in Germany have been supplied almost entirely by shipments through Bremerhaven. The continental portion of the long American supply line begins at Bremerhaven and carries south across the flat, north German plains-a classic invasion route from the east. Because of the possibility of this line of communication being interrupted, a new line of communications is now being organized, based on the use of ports in southern France.

Basically, the new line of communication reflects a revised mission of United States Forces in Europe-a change from an occupation role to a positive position in the defense of western Europe.

In the line of communication across France we see a closer likeness to the textbook example than is possible in Japan and Korea. Note the Communications Zone Headquarters is in Orleans (about the center of the Communications Zone). The Base Section Headquarters is at La Rochelle, and the Advance Section Headquarters at Verdun in the forward area of the communications zone. Please expect to find this change in the European Command Organization for Logistics to be in a formulative stage upon your arrival in that area.
