R-E-S -T-R-I -C-T-E -D taining a balanced nB" ration in each supply point and dump, The situation was relieved when the armies broke out of Normandy and by necessity were required to use the operational rations. Again, during the r3erman breakthrouqb in the winter of 1944-1945, supplies and dally trains were disrupted. The Third US Army arm "A" rations to meet 9C peroent of its requirements at that time, but ths First and Ninth W Armies, due to the disruption of the daily train, were required to draw dweply into their reserve stooks. These two armies subsisted, during the early stages, exclusively on operational ratione. The large number of prisoners captured aftm the armies crossed the Rhine cawed another CritiCal shortage to exist. Operatlonnl rations were lssued for initial use since oooklng equip" was not available. After oookhg equipment was provided, the prisoaers were rea according to tne prescri ed prisoner of war menust This relieved the situation. B dh Tine adoption of "balanced commodity loading" ol ships et the New York port contributad more to feeding of balanced rations than any other single faotor. This eyetea of loading all components of the r*Artor IW ration, in the oorrect proportion, in e. single ship ermitted the entire load being assigned to any one depot,$ e. Due to the large numbee of unreported or inproperly reported shortages or substitatlons ib 6ha rations which ocmrrred at supply points and depots, the Chief Quartermaster required a d'aily comprehensive report in order that he bo kept informed and could Cake such cor- reotive action as necessary.* 124. Over Issue?. * a. Although the Quartermaster service made con- tlnuous effort t o keep ratlon issues within authorized allowances, there were several factors whioh contributed to over issue:2 Division commanders wa-6 authrizod to augment the rations for thoir troops when in contact with the enemy. Doops often consumed four operational maals n day In lieu of three. several categories of porsonnel, such as prisoners of war, guides, interpreters, drivers and hungy oivilians were often fed by oombat troops. In many such oases no rsports of the numbem fed were made. FooQ waste normally inoreased whon organ- izations were on the move. b. The number of rations 1ssuc.d divided by the actual strength gives an index of over issue (Sac Appendix 11). The index of over issue by month in tho EL&opean theater shows that the highest rate of over issue ooourrea during periods of maximum operetj onal activity: 2

September 1944 1.32 The transfer of c great den1 of Unlted Kingdom strength to the continent plus the great opern- fional activity of these months raise% the over issue index to its all time hi&. February 1445 1.04 The comparatlve stability of the fall and winter arc refleoted in rapid drop in overissues from its September peak. April 194.5 1.20 The intense Botivity of the drive into Germany is reflected by high over issues. SECTION 2 FIELD FORCES L25. rnanization and Functions.
