Although the role of the logistician in civil affairs and military governments (CA/MG) is critical, little has been written on the logistical aspects of CA/MG. The importance of CA/MG logistics has been recognized in both the central European theater and in low intensity conflicts. However, military training does not ordinarily prepare the military logistician for CA/MG. Hence, an analysis of the largest US CA/MG effort (World War II) is an important step in preparing future logisticians to deal with such issues. This thesis examines the US logistics efforts under CA/MG during World War II and immediately following the war. It looks at our efforts in North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany. Logistics lessons learned from these efforts are developed and related to current CA/MG planning and training efforts.
