Logistics as defined by the Army refers to its activities involved in the procurement, transportation, and distribution of all types and kinds of materiel required to equip, supply, and maintain our ground forces wherever they may be stationed. This same general definition holds as well for the Army Air Forces.

Soviet field artillery in the offensive (tactics and techniques).
No full textThis study analyzes the tactical features and technique of Soviet field artillery in the offensive which may contribute to United States artillery doctrines. It is not a literal picture of Soviet artillery practice. Attention is concentrated on the most advanced Soviet practice, doctrine, and thought. Other features, which are believed to be substantially identical with, inapplicable to, or less developed than American artillery practices are discussed only as necessary for confirmation or background. The employment of attack aviation, infantry weapons, mortars and rockets, antitank guns, and self-propelled artillery, although briefly mentioned, is beyond the scope of the report. This study, based entirely on official documents of the Red Army, is analytical and interpretative. Occasional gaps have been reconstructed. Whenever possible, theory has been checked with practice. Much of the illustrative material has been recomputed and modified for greater clarity and the elimination of minor errors. In some instances, such as hasty survey by means of vertical beams, an inadequate mathematical treatment has been completely reformulated in generalized form. This report presupposes general acquaintance with the Organization and Tactical Employment of Soviet Ground Formations (MIS, 5 Aug 44) or equivalent data

No full textReport of board of officers convened to study the Japanese antiaircraft and seacoast artillery. The Board met on 7 November 1945 and after organization, examined documents and material pertinent to the study, heard witnesses, and visited various Japanese antiaircraft and seacoast artillery installations and organizations. The purpose of the Board, as outlined in detail in supplementary instructions, was to study and report upon matters connected with organization, training, materiel, technique, tactics, supply, administration, and operations of the Japanese Antiaircraft and Seacoast Artillery. Based upon its study, the Board submits its findings in two separate reports, one covering Antiaircraft Artillery and the other covering seacoast artillery. In covering each of these subjects, two separate and complete reports have been prepared: a brief summary, covering only the salient points and a detailed report. The Antiaircraft Artillery Report is presented in two parts, as follows: Army Antiaircraft Artillery - Part One and Naval (Shore-Based) Antiaircraft Artillery - Part Two. The Seacoast Artillery Report is presented as a separate report, in three parts, as follows: (1) Army Seacoast Artillery - Part One. (2) Navy Seacoast Artillery - Part Two. (3) Submarine Mines - Part Three
