Book Description
In the forty-five years since the last major study of defense logistics was published, a revolutionary change in information technology and defense strategy has swept the field and mandated a new understanding of the objectives and principles of military logistics. This comprehensive work addresses all aspects of the subject. Written by a renowned defense logistics expert, it covers force projection, force sustainment, and minimizing the logistics "footprint" in battle spaces. Gen. William Tuttle examines five principles that are employed to assess the effectiveness of the processes and identifies shortfalls and remedies. He also illuminates the major influences of culture and politics on defense logistics and proposes ways to minimize their adverse impact on combat readiness.
This timely volume is certain to become a hallmark in the field of defense logistics for those currently coping with the challenges and for logisticians aspiring to lead, as well as for those involved in the complexities of planning and strategy. This book is published in cooperation with the Association of the United States Army.

A Professional Speaks.......2005-05-28
It is said that amateurs study tactics, professionals study logistics.
General Tuttle is by no mens an amateur. As the head of the Army Materiel Command, he had 100,000 people working for him to supply the worldwide needs of the Army. ==In this book he discusses every aspect of logistics support for the Army of today and tomorrow. This includes equipment, many of it specialized such as transport ships that can conveniently carry armored vehicles at a high speed. These are not the same requirements as that of the commercial market. But it also includes using commercial equipment or companies when possible so that cost advantages can be obtained.
Each major area of logistics is examined from the timely delivery of mail from home to evacuating casualties from the battlefield. The books examines the effect of the information explosion and looks into new technologies that are coming into being.
This is the first major book to be published in forty years or so. It will become the definitive book on logistics for the forseeable future.

Book Description
This is the latest edition of an important U.S. Army field manual (FM) covering the support required on the battlefield by theater area commands.
Some highlights of the contents:
"FM 100-5, the Army's keystone doctrinal manual, explains the Army's operational concept for the air-land battle. This manual gives the basic doctrinal background on which all other doctrinal manuals are based. In its explanation of the air-land battle, FM 100-5 emphasizes the terms initiative, depth, agility, and synchronization as being the basic tenets for success on the modern battlefield. These terms apply to combat support and combat service support elements as well as to combat forces. Inherent in these terms is an understanding between all commanders, supporting and supported, subordinate and senior, vertical and lateral, of the overall mission and the plans to accomplish it. Subordinates must clearly understand the intent, as well as the details of the overall commander's plan. This allows them to deviate from the details when the situation demands or when an opportunity to hasten the execution of this intent presents itself.
SUPPORT - The modern battlefield poses great challenges, not only to the combat and combat support forces, but also to the CSS units that must sustain the forces. US forces must get the most out of what they have. Every conceivable logistics asset must be used. CSS planners and operators must possess the same leadership qualities as combat leaders in order to effectively support the overall tactical plan. The CSS force must make use of the principles of responsiveness, flexibility, and initiative. The changing situations that will be met on the battlefield require that CSS commanders foresee needs before demands are placed upon them. The commander of the Leaders at all echelons and of all the force elements must be able to think faster, make decisions more rapidly, and act quicker than the enemy. All efforts must be synchronized so that the parts of the force may combine quickly and powerfully at the most opportune point and time. CSS elements are an indispensable element of massing at the critical point and time. The weight of support must be added to the weight of combat power. They are inseparable. Success on the battlefield will require many changes in attitude and training methods. Initiative and innovation must be stressed, and an aggressive spirit must permeate US forces. All training must be as close as possible to anticipated conditions on the modern battlefield. These conditions include environment, tempo, and the dimensions of time and space. Teamwork, flexibility, and initiative must always be emphasized in training programs." It is fully illustrated with numerous line drawings.
Book Description
This is the latest edition of an important U.S. Army field manual (FM) covering the evacuation of noncombatants (civilians) under nonemergency conditions.
In the preface, it states:
"Field Manual (FM) 90-29 establishes Army guidance for planning, coordinating, and executing noncombatant evacuation operations (NEOs) under nonemergency conditions. Nonemergency conditions are those in which full mobilization has not been authorized but deployment of combat forces or the use of force may be required to accomplish the mission. The manual provides direction to Army commanders and staffs charged with duties related to these operations. It attempts to harmonize procedures and terminology between the various government agencies that may be involved. Commanders with this type of mission should ensure that their planning staff is acquainted with reference publications to reduce the potential for flawed coordination and mission execution."
Some highlights of the contents:
"Noncombatant evacuation operations (NEOs) are conducted to evacuate civilian noncombatants and nonessential military personnel from locations in a foreign (host) nation during time of endangerment to a designated safehaven. NEOs are normally conducted to evacuate United States (US) citizens whose lives are in danger from a hostile environment or natural disaster. NEOs may also include the evacuation of US military personnel and dependents, selected citizens of the host nation (HN), and third country nationals. NEOs would not normally include retrograde operations of military personnel solely as part of a military operation. NEOs involve swift, temporary occupancy of an objective and end with planned withdrawals. They may include the use of force. If so, the commander limits the amount of force to that required to protect the evacuees and the evacuation force. Every US embassy is required to maintain an emergency action plan (EAP), which includes an NEO plan. The Department of State is the lead agency for planning and conducting NEOs. NEO plans consider HN assets as the primary source of security, transportation, and temporary facilities. If HN assets are inadequate or unavailable, US military resources are used to fill the shortfall. If military forces are employed in a NEO, they usually comprise units from more than one service. The combatant commander (commander in chief (CINC), on being ordered to support a NEO, normally designates a joint task force (JTF) commander to exercise overall control of operations involved in the NEO. He is responsible for all activities, from initial planning and deployment to an intermediate staging base (ISB), to conduct of the evacuation and, if required, operation of the safehaven. Evacuation operations differ from other military operations in that direction of the operation will usually remain with the American ambassador, if present, at the time of evacuation. Further, the order to evacuate is usually a political decision, with extensive ramifications. It indicates to the local population and other governments that the situation has deteriorated to the point that the United States has lost faith in the HN's ability to maintain control of the situation. This, in turn, may further destabilize the situation. Requesting military assistance in an evacuation is potentially more destabilizing. The presence of armed US troops may overly alarm the local population, adding to the possibility of unnecessary violence and confusion. Should circumstances require introduction of US troops, the commander should plan for early execution of psychological operations (PSYOP) to project and define his intentions to the HN government, military, and populace."
This manual is produced by Headquarters, US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). It is fully illustrated with numerous line drawings.

A right book for all biological related students.......2000-03-09
I used it as I studied agromy and gave me a strong ground on this subject. I will probably buy it for my personal library, since I always borrowed it from University Of Chile Library.
good, but it may be a bit difficult for a bignner........1999-10-31
This book is good, with many charts and diagrams. But it is also true that this book is a little bit difficult for a beginner in biochemistry.
this is the first book that I really like, thank you.......1999-07-15
I am student of Agronomy, Ljubljana - Slovenia. This subject is one of the most terrible in our 2nd year, but when I bought this book it was like I found a treasure. I passed the exam at first time and with a good mark. This is the best book I was ever studying from. I wish you to do more books like this one is. My best and kindest regards. All the best in the future, to everyone at the book and to all the readers.
succinate dehydrogenase.......1999-07-03
the effects of inhibition and cellular localization of succinate dehydrogenase
a book to use, and a book to keep.......1999-05-01
Lehninger's book remains the best single text in biochemistry, at least in English. A fine book for undergraduates, it is also the one volume that you may keep on your shelf for years to come, and the best biochem text for those whose primary specialty is not biochemistry (e.g. medicine, p-chem, microbio). No text is ever a substitute for the journals if you work in the field, but this book gives a sense of the whole discipline that is beneficial for anyone who may become too narrowly fixed on one topic. Its clear writing is also a blessing, both for those using English as a second language, and for native speakers with some affection for their own language
