168. Depot Procedure. R-E -S-T-R-I-C-T-E-D a. A strict systei? of stock control within the aopot was essential in order to insure that Etocks were kept r;t the propr levels to met the unit requirenents.17 sunplies received w~rc?ronptly tallied in, inoluding the co:gl,etc description and quantity of QrCh iten receivctd. ~lisywere storod and ssgregoted by class.

Credit register of contrclled item which had been released to the units. Reports of shortages subaitted to headquarters supply section. Stock recard adjustment chart. b, Stock record cards were normally mnintained in c mnner as explsinrd by Q Fifteenth Amur Depot Commanaer:le "Stock record oards are filed by class nlphsbeti- cally within each clajs. All crndlt vouchers are ooneolldated on D daily mster voucher, which is a printed for& listj~iqall items in the snmc order as they pre filed in tho stock record cabintts. The business dcy runs from 0700 to 0700, Wunntitlea urs posted to the master voucher 8s raquis'itiona 8rc3 fillcd. At the end of the business dag totals ere txtended for eech iten and only the total is postGd to tk stock rscord oord. This oDeratior. reduces the nur;ber of 7crsonnal posting stock records, as the cards ark posted only OnOe B day and the OOSthg to tho cards is dc4a in a consocutlve manner. Stcck record cards never fall behind issues by mre than twenty-four (24) hours. The mmtcr vouchar is Given the voucher number of the last credit voucher posted to it for reference purpose. This sa.m fora is used to pr6pi.m the ten (10)day stock status rcyorts and physic01 inventory reportsi1. 0. Physical inventories varied within each army, but at laast one inventory per nonth was Mndatory, The Qxwlx"ster of the Ninth ?EArmy prescribed that a permnent inventory Section be established acpot aotivitios roquired and thnt each tteu be physically Inventoried every two wesks.13 169. Processing of Requisitions. a. Each army required tlmt raquisitions be pro- ?brly propcred and oertifie?, and consolidated by the high- - 110 - B-E-S-T-R-I-C-T-E-D
R-E-S -T-R-I-C-T-Z-D er headquarters of the rec,uisitioning unit. Requisitions were edited at the aepot for the purpose of asoertaining their correotness and that the items requested were authorize&. The quantities of items were not questioned w-less they appeared excessive, but they were reduced as depot stocks required. The procedure fop submitting requisitions and drawing supplies varied among the armies, No depot schedules were established during the early mosths of operations in the European Theater of Operations with the result that when a stalemate was reached the depots were flooded with requisitions.l6 In January 1945 the Third TTB Army established 8 drawing schedule for its units, and other armies adopted similar neaswes.5 Tho Ninth U3 Army required thet requisitions be submitted 211 hours in advsnce of drawing.19 Requisitions for controlled items were submitted to the Army Quartermaster for approval, and requewts for equipment in excess of authorized allowance and for Class IV supplies were submitted through oommand channeln. In the First US Army all requisitions of divisions required the approval of the Army cuartermester, whereas smaller units were allowed to draw direct. Normally, however, depots were authorized to approve and process all rcquisitions for equipment within authorized allowanoes. All otliar requisitions required tho Dpproval of the Arm 9,uartermaster or his representativee. b. The variations in depot prooedures among the armies often proved a handicap to the combat units. The neoesstty for obtaininp the approval of the Army Quartermaster, who was normally located at some distahce from the depot caused n considerable delay. The Quartermaster of the 35th Infantry Division stated:2* Yfn one Army, supplies could be drawn daily, or as needed; in another, one day each week was designated, In one arw the requisition was submitted to the issuing depot and honored at that point, while in another army it was.necessary to submit the requisition to the Army Quartermaster for approval 48 hours prior to drawing time. This plan caused a delay in replaoemant --It. 170. Conclusions. STCTION lt CONGLUSIONt3 AND FSCOMNBXDATIONS a. That throughout operations in the European Theater of Operations the taatl.ca1 situation normally dlo- tatad a low priority for Class I1 and IV supply. This priority, combined with the shortage of transportation, was normally too low to permit efficlezt operation and to insure ad6,qUato supply to the units when required. On those oooasione when the taotical situation permitted or required B higher Class XI and IV priority, the efficiency and speed of supnly increased in propartion, b. That different methods, procedures and sohedulas rogarding requisitiuning and drawing of supplies adopted by tho various srmies caused additiohal delay and oonf'usion among the combat troops. 0.
