You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it
just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of
receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom
line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts
where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where
the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater
than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This
book outlines some of these logistical components and their
doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some
new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the
reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is
based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute
the logistical function or capability as it relates to the
operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics
and their conception to improve the general knowledge and
understanding on "why it happens," and "how we can improve the
outcome."
This book is a guide for Logistician's (civilian or military) in
the execution of support to Disaster Relief efforts. . Provides a
foundation to plan and coordinate at the federal, state, and local
government agencies as they develop and implement their support
operations plans and execution. . Presents information for staff
management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to
monitor and track movement and commodities throughout the disaster
area. . Provides new ideas and concepts that can be utilized as a
planning guide to assist civilian and military leaders in support
of Disaster Relief Operation's. Due to the uniqueness of the
mission and technology, this book may be guided towards a rather
select audience. But since this topic impacts a majority of the
population, it is important to understand that at all levels, the
ability to plan, coordinate, and execute is required for an
operation of this magnitude to be successful. The work is not an
account of the relief operations conducted in past areas, but the
basis for ideas and concepts to support future planning,
coordination, and development of Logistical Disaster Relief Support
Operations in the future.
As I get older and reflect back on my time on this earth, it is
humorous in some respect that I seem to remember the good times.
Moreover, in my case I tend to remember the funny things of even a
bad situation. It's like your subconscious blocks out the bad
things only letting you remember the pleasant circumstances of even
an awful situation. Whatever makes this occurrence happen, in my
case I think it is good in that it has provided me with a library
of hilarious stories. A good story is like a fine bottle of wine
and the key is the aging process. In the case of a story the more
aging time the more embellished, embroidered, and simply blown way
out of proportion the story becomes, and in my opinion, that is
what makes a funny story a hilarious one. Therefore, I have
propagated this theory throughout this book. . With all this in
mind, I have tried to offer in the following stories the right
amount of embellishment that will provide the reader with just
enough body to paint the picture, but not too much to bog down the
reader to boredom. Now I understand that what is humorous to one
person may not be the same to another, but it is obvious to me that
just the normal day-to-day events can sometimes be the funniest,
and if the person can relate to these events within their own
experience then in turn they are really laughing at themselves
through someone else's eyes. Therefore, with that idea in mind, I
am only asking that you sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories,
with one different twist, and that is to laugh at me.
Reexamines the immense documentation still extant for the Congress,
and judiciously evaluates the Congress's accomplishments and points
out its frailties. The book's most distinctive feature is its focus
on congressional politics and factions. The author examines the
voting patterns and personal and geographical divisions existing in
the Continental Congress, uncovering all the elements of a
concealed party system taking form as early as 1774. Originally
published by McGraw-Hill in 1974.

This book is a guide for Logistician's (military or civilian) in
the execution of Movement Control and Distribution Management. -
Provides examples of procedures and guidance utilized by our armed
forces operating in Iraq to date, as well as being reviewed as
emerging doctrine for the future. - Presents information for staff
management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to
monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern
battlefields. - Provides a process to utilize data from different
automation systems, which do not talk to one another, as well as
incorporates manual procedures to develop a system to monitor and
track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. By
doing this, we have provided the commander with a focused staff
battle rhythm that works. Due to the Army Transformation and Spiral
Development, there is a lack of documentation on just how to
interpret and implement the new concepts and automation
applications, and synchronize their usage and development. Many of
the ideas and process in this book have not advanced beyond the
conjectural level. The work covered is an initial effort to make
operational these new ideas and procedures and provide them as
training in a classroom and wartime environment. The uniqueness of
the logistical mission and the technology of these services, this
book may be guided towards a rather select audience. But due to the
tactics and methods being used by our enemies in the field, it is
important to understand that at all levels, the ability to have
visibility and command and control of movement within our battle
space is essential.
