ROAD Division Logistics Management Training -- Is it Adequate?

<p>During the period from 1962 to 1964 the U.S. Army reorganized its combat divisions under the ROAD concept. The ROAD concept is one of a fixed base of control and combat support units to which are attached varying numbers of maneuver and combat service support units. In this way the ROAD infantry mechanized and armored divisions are formed. Along with this flexible organization is the concept of functionalized combat service support. This thesis investigates the adequacy of the system of officer education to provide trained key logisticians for the ROAD division. The author includes a chapter of recommended steps to improve the adequacy of logistics management training.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
