Field Manual 54-1, The Logistical Command, is published for the use of all concerned. This field manual reflects the missions, capabilities, and organization of logistical command headquarters. Although staff organizations of logistical commands are presented, it is emphasized that the commander has wide latitude in organizing his command and staff in the manner best suited to accomplish the assigned mission under the specific conditions, time, and place in which it is employed. The logistical command is designed as a flexible unit capable of being tailored to a wide variety of missions. Developments in the tactical and technological fields, new concepts of operation, and organizational changes in the Army will make modifications of this manual necessary. Recommendations for changes should be forwarded to the Commandant, United States Army Command and General Staff College.
