Subsistence Management at the Corps Support Command Materiel Management Center.

摘要

This paper is an overview of the subsistence support system in the Corps Support Command (COSCOM) as is planned for wartime implementation under current doctrine. Written for the uninitiated Class I manager in the COSCOM Materiel Management Center, this document provides not only the system but how the system can be managed to obtain Class I supplies during a major conflict. This document also emphasizes the need for teaching the procedures discussed, since under peacetime conditions they are seldom exercised. In peacetime our commissaries normally provide for our day to day needs. An artificial means should be created to teach and exercise the wartime theory to develop a familiarity with the system.
