Abstract:

This debriefing covers the highlights of a logistical command in support of United States, Korean, Australian, Thai, Cambodian and Vietnamese forces during counterinsurgency operations in the Republic of Vietnam from November 1970 to June 1972, at which time the headquarters was inactivated. The report is organized into two major parts. First, is a commentary covering a series of significant logistical observations and recommendations related thereto. Part I is designed to highlight areas where further doctrinal and procedural actions are warranted. Part II follows the conventional debriefing format and relates the experiences of the command in an historical and functional context.
