Field Manual 54-1, The Logistical Command, reflects the missions, capabilities, organization, and operating procedures of logistical command headquarters and of logistical commands. Staff organizations of logistical commands are presented; however, it is emphasized that the commander has wide latitude in organizing his command and staff in the manner best suited to accomplish his mission. The logistical command is designed as a flexible organization capable of being tailored to a wide variety of missions. Developments in 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. See AR 310-3 for desired format of recommendations for corrections and changes.
