R-3-6-T-R-J -G -T-E-D "The teaching& of the US Army that the impetus of supply shall be from the rear are sound. The connecting link betweea the Cammunicatlons Zone and the Army or the Army Group should be an improved regulating ste,tion. The mission of the improved regulating station should be carefully rede- fined and broadened. It should be the contact agenoy with the b.rdes and the Army Groups. They need Pew troops. A small staff having a knowledge cf all depots - knowing on which depot to place requisitions and being intimately associated with all phases of military transport, can, in my opinion, best accomplish the mission. The improved rep- lating station referred to by me herein must know at all times the status of requiaitibns placed - the status of supplies shipped, tht is, their location enroute, thsir time Of delivery to the Armias and other troops forward, etc. l'hs vqq&iting ststfon as outlined by me should serve direct- ly under, and receive its command orders frob the Commanding neneral, Communications ?one. Its technical fnformatlon should come from the Deputy Chiefs of Service located at the Headquarters, Communications 7Z~ne.9' 30. m. a. There was no form presaribad for the daily telegram by the War Department. Eaoh army devissd its own form for the use of its suborahate units (Appendix 3 ). This procedure wm generally satisfactory from the standpoint of both the armies end the subordinete units, with the exccp- ticn that the forme were changed from time to timt and varied mong the ardes, thus causing oonfusion emong the units. Some forms were clonr and simple, while others gave break- downs by types of retions and listed reserve and maintenance stocks. Others, Lcter in the campaign, listed by oatcgory the personnel for whom rhtlons were roquired. b. In calling for supplies from the Comunlcations Zone, the Army Qmxtermaster utilized no standard form. The Sevbnth IJR Arq vuortermastbr submitted his requests by letter (Appendlaas I+ & 5). Since the Army quartermastor, unlike the nuartsrmaster or supply of'ficer of his subordinace units, is concerned with stocking a number of instnllatiohs rather than a single unit aupply dunp, and alnce he muat maintain a oertain level of' supplies in order to furnish day to day requirements for immediate consumption, his daily call for supplioa can not h6 reduced to R standard, simpli- fied form suitable under all conditions. 31. Fditin The question of the authority or advisability ofe&un$ications "one to edit the daily telegram submitted by the field forces arose when the Communi- cations Zonc requested thnt Class I1 and Tv SUpplieB be separated on the dally telegram. The guartermaster, Third Us Army, stated "It.would be difficult to explain the tao- tical reason for which much of this equipment is required, ,, and the Commandiq General, 12th Army Group, in a le ter to the Commanding General, Communications Zone, stated: s "Thls headquarters recognizes the fact that you, 8s the supply agency for this theater, must odopt measures which will insure an equi- table distribution of the aveilable supplies to all wmmands of the theater. This is accomplished, insofar 8s the elements of this com- - 22 - R-ES-2-R-I-C-T-3-D
R-E-S-T-R-I-C-T-E -D nand me concerned, if requisltlons for supplies are kept within authorized allowances, Under existing instruct ions of this heedquarters, elements of the 12th Arm Group are not permitted to requisition items in excess of authorized allowances without priot approval of this headquarters. Therefore, the editing of requisitions by you is considered to be not only unnecessary, but could VEW well develop into procedure which would seriously limit the prompt shipment of supplies. '1 It was decided that the Communications Zone did not hEve authority to edit, and that the Army Quartermaster would be limited, in his call for supplies only by his own judg- ment, his estimate of the situation, and by any limitations imposed by higher h6adquarters, based mainly on shortages in supply stocks and transportation. SECTION 3 GOhTLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 32. Conclusions. a. That in a supply system featuring a oentral, highly controlled supply procedure, the success of the daily telegram in aupply operations from the Communications Zone to the field forces demands an up-to-deite, aoourate stock control system in the headquarters exercising central control. b. When the situation permits of decentralization, the greatest succe8s in scpply operations based on daily telegrams is achieved whsn the supply organization provides for a regulating station whose variqus sections are sufficiently lnfbrmed on the looal eupply and transportation situation to permit routing the dally telegram direct to the supply lnstallation capable of shipping the supplies raqbeatcd.. a. It is not practicable to ordctr nuertermastsr Class I1 and TV supplies by means of thc daily telegram. 33. Recommendat ions. a. That in future operations similar to the conditions that existed in the European Theater of Operations, the supply organization be so constituted as to provide for routing the daily telegram direat from the regulating station to the supply installation designated to make shipment. b. That Class 11 and IV supplies not be included in the daily telegram.
