21st Century US Army General Supply in Theaters of Operations Field Manual - FM 10-27
Author: Department of Defense

This is the latest edition of an important U.S. Army field manual (FM) dealing with general supply issues. In the preface, it states: "General supplies are supplies which have been grouped together based on their storage and distribution requirements rather than their end use. General supplies include the following: Subsistence, clothing and... more » organizational equipment, packaged petroleum and industrial gases, construction materials, health and comfort items, repair parts, standard maps and map products, and nonmilitary items." Some highlights of the contents: "War reserve stocks are stocks acquired in peacetime to meet the increased military requirements that occur when war breaks out. War reserves support mobilization requirements and sustain operations until resupply can be established and expanded. War reserve stocks include decremented stocks, contingency stocks, and the types of items found in the various theater reserve stocks. An example is prepositioned materiel configured to unit sets maintained in oversea areas. Pre-Positioned War Reserve Stocks - In a theater, the theater commander manages prepositioned stocks. According to DA policy and guidelines, war reserve stocks may be pre-positioned oversea, on ships, or in areas within CONUS. Oversea war reserves. These war reserves are positioned throughout a potential theater. They support post D-day combat consumption until supplies arrive from CONUS or other theater storage areas. Most war reserves are positioned in the COMMZ. A maximum of 10 days of supplies are positioned in forward deployed corps and TAACOM units for the transition to war. During peacetime, these stocks are controlled by a theater army. At or near the start of hostilities, they are released to the corps and TAACOMs where they are stored. Supplies pre-positioned on ships. As part of the Near-Term Pre-Positioning Force, the US has chartered merchant ships which remain on station. These ships will join with the equipment prepositioned at sea and then proceed to trouble spots. Vessels and cargo undergo cyclic inspection and maintenance to ensure good readiness posture. They can also provide selected sustaining supplies for Air Force and Army units. CONUS war reserves. War reserves are held in CONUS when they cannot be pre-positioned at or near the point of probable conflict. Reserves may be held in CONUS depots for a specific force, area, or operational project. They may also be held for use as contingency support stocks. Other War Reserve Materiel Stocks These stocks consist of all other war reserve items. They include Class VII major end items, secondary end items, and repair parts. Deployment - During the early portion of the mounting phase, supplies must be brought up to required levels. Assault forces must be self-sustaining until they withdraw or link up with ground forces. In the event of a contingency or airhead operation, division elements deploy with prescribed amounts of all classes of accompanying supplies. These supplies are taken into the objective area by both assault and follow-on echelons. Three days of supply are desired in the airhead. The minimum safety level is two days. During the initial phase of deployment, this is the only source of resupply." This manual is produced by Headquarters, US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC).
