Section III.
Stores Supply


2. - Phasing Stores for initial Assault.

In the case of an assault on enemy territory it usually happens that troops and stores originate from the base where the planning of the assault is done. The availability of stores for the operation is limited to those actually available in depots. The stores problem then resolves itself into one of forecasting the developments, during the opening weeks of the campaign, by the Construction Department and bidding for shipment of the selected stores by the Stores Department. This falls under the general description of Planning and further reference is made to it in Chapter IV, Section 1, Sub-section 4.
