HARPER SCHOENHOLZ FERNANDEZ SPARKS -I SI FEBRUARY, 1965 W74R7L-7195-000 (1971) fi-h "The more I have seen of war, the more I realize how it depends on administration and transportation (what our American Allies call logistics). It takes little skill or imagina- tion to see where you would like your Army to be and when; it takes much more knowledge and work to know where you can place your forces and whether you can maintain them there. A real knowledge of supply and movement factors must be the basis of every leader's plan; only then can he know how and when to take risks with those factors; and battles and wars are won by taking risks." This statement by Field Marshal Lord Wavell puts in a few words the importance of today's logistical term "combat service support" to the overall execution of war. This combat service support includes civil affairs activities, logistics operations, and personnel administration. Rear area security, communications, and area damage control are allied activities and contribute directly to success or failure of combat service support. Combat service support activities take place almost wholly in rear areas of the tactical units in contact with the enemy. If these activities are to provide the necessary support, they must operate in an area that is secure from hostile attacks by guerrillas, terrorists, partisans, stay-behind troops, and other irregular warfare troops.

  • Korean War Forgotten - No More
    MAY 27, 2019 KOREAN WAR FORGOTTEN - NO MORE MEN OF BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ WHO WERE CASUALTIES IN THE 1 The Cover is of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (19 stainless steel statues). The statues were sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, VT and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, NY. They are approximately seven feet tall and represent an ethnic cross section of America. The advance party has 14 Army, 3 Marine, 1 Navy and 1 Air Force members. The statues stand in patches of Juniper bushes and are separated by polished granite strips, which give a semblance of order and symbolize the rice paddies of Korea. The troops wear ponchos covering their weapons and equipment. The ponchos seem to blow in the cold winds of Korea. NOTES This booklet was prepared on behalf of the Burlington County War Memorial Committee. It is interrelated to the Korean War Monument that was dedicated May 27, 2019. The men contained herein are those, from Burlington County, New Jersey, that are listed on the National Archives web site. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/military/korean-war/casualty-lists/nj-alpha.pdf The lists are based on the "home of record - state" data provided by the serviceman or woman upon last entrance into military service. "Home of record" does not necessarily refer to the place of birth, residence of next of kin, place of longest residence, nor other common uses of the term "hometown." The account and associated photos in the chapter “The Korean War” was prepared by Sean Kane-Holland.
