Sinopsis

How the Army’s Quartermaster Corps kept global supply lines moving in World War II—and how its training adapted to modern, fast-paced warfare.

This volume surveys the policies, problems, and evolution of the Quartermaster Corps in the zone of interior, focusing on the training and organization that supported supply, personnel development, and the Corps’ special services during the war. It explains how training shifted from traditional methods to modern, learning-by-doing techniques, and why these changes mattered for keeping food, clothing, and equipment flowing to troops overseas. The book also covers the range of functions the Corps performed, from salvage and reclamation to caring for the dead, laundry operations, and the use of animals in military service.

- How recruitment, training, and unit development were organized to meet wartime needs
- The shift to accelerated, standardized training with films, models, and hands-on practice
- The emergence of new unit types and services, such as motorized support and mobile labs
- The connection between training methods and the broader logistics and demobilization effort

Ideal for readers of military history, logistics, and World War II studies, who want an informed view of how the Quartermaster Corps prepared its people to support fast-moving campaigns.

Excerpt from The Quartermaster Corps, Vol. 2: Organization, Supply, and Services

This volume is the second in a series which records the experiences of the Quartermaster Corps in World War II. Instead of the single theme of supply, emphasized in Volume I, a variety of activities are discussed, some of which - conservation, reclamation, and salvage operations, and industrial demobilization - are related to supply. Others such as laundry operations, training of dogs, and care of the dead, arc wholly unrelated to the Quartermaster supply function but arc nevertheless important to the Army. The volume stresses the multiplicity of the Corps' duties and, in the complexities of modern warfare, the Army's need for trained Quartermaster specialists and units to support combat troops. The narrative sets forth the policies and problems involved in procuring and training Quartermaster personnel and the manner in which the Quartermaster Corps operated in the zone of interior.

The authors of this volume arc both members of the Historical Section of the Office of The Quartermaster General. Erna Risch, who joined the section in 1943, has written a number of monographs published by the Quartermaster Corps, as well as Volume I of this series. She holds the Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago. Chester L. Kieffer, coauthor, who is a graduate of the University of Illinois and a former journalist, worked on the historical program of the War Production Board before joining the staff of the Historical Section.
