Paperback. Condition: Good. Under one cover, an edited collection of the best works by noted military historians on the importance of military logistics in World War I*** PACIFIC EXPRES was selected to be on the Marine Corps Commandant's Professional Reading List for Logistics and is required annual reading on military logistics for all officer and enlisted Marines whether active duty or reserve***In PACIFIC EXPRES, William LMcGee, an award-winning World War I military historian, serves as editor and compiles a collection of works on military logistics in WI.IN THE WORDS OF THE AUTHOR: I felt obliged to recognize all the men and women, military and civilian, who served in logistical support positions for the front line combatants during World War I: ship builders, advance bases and floating service squadrons, Naval Transportation Service, Navy Seabees, Marine Corps Engineers, Merchant Marine, Naval Armed Guard, Army Transportation Corps, and Coast Guard.Consider this: Victory may be gained or lost in battle, but all military history reveals that effective logistics support is critical to victory. During World War I, 161 million men and women participated in the United States Armed Forces. Yet, for every individual combatant, there were 10 supportive personnel both overseas and at home (Source: National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC).Many of the major components of the Pacific express are profiled by McGee.* The Advance Bases were created by USNavy Seabees and USMarine Corps Engineers.* USNavy crews that manned the amphibious force and Fleets' mobile Service Squadrons throughout the Pacific's wide expanses* The thousands of WSA cargo ships, transports, and tankers that delivered the products were staffed and defended by the US Merchant Marine and USNaval Armed Guard.Hundreds of US Army and Navy long-haul vessels, as well as thousands of battle-ready amphibious landing ships and craft, were manned by US Coast Guardsmen.560 pages, 111 black-and-white photographs, seven maps, twenty-one figures/tables/charts, appendices, notes, bibliography, and indexPREVIOUS VOLUMES IN THE SERIESVolI, The Amphibians Are Coming: The Development of the 'Gator Navy and its Revolutionary Landing CraftVolI, The Solomons Campaigns, 1942-1943: From Guadalcanal to Bougainville, Pacific War Turning PointVolI, The Solomons Campaigns, 1942-1943: From Guadalcanal to Bougainville, Pacific War Turning PointVolI, The Solomons Campaigns, 1942-1943: From.…
