The major responsibilities of the USAREUR Quartermaster Division are troop supply and subsistence.
Additional tasks include:
![](../../blank.jpg) gasoline stations
![](../../blank.jpg) commissaries
![](../../blank.jpg) laundry and dry cleaning plants
![](../../blank.jpg) household furnishings
![](../../blank.jpg) parachute maintenance
![](../../blank.jpg) dog training
![](../../blank.jpg) graves registration
![](../../blank.jpg) operation of the QM School at Lenggries
In the past 12 months, the Quartermaster Division has assumed five new responsibilities (in theater):
![](../../blank.jpg) Operation of petroleum pipelines, a function previously performed by the Engineer Division;
![](../../blank.jpg) Aerial supply for the Army;
![](../../blank.jpg) Supply of subsistence and household goods for the Air Force and the Navy;
![](../../blank.jpg) Control of all material-handling equipment in all depots in Europe, including inventories, inspections and standards of repair;
![](../../blank.jpg) Distribution of all personal effects, a job previously handled by the Adjutant General Corps.
In additional to all of these duties, the QM Div also provides relief support when emergencies arise such as the cold wave that gripped Europe during the past winter. Under Operation SNOWBOUND, the quartermasters rushed more than 700,000 pounds of emergency supplies from QM stocks to Italian victims.
The Quartermaster Division in Europe handles more tonnage of supplies than all of the other technical services combined. Also, more than 50 percent of procurement for the Army consists of QM supplies.
FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM
An important phase of the food service program includes the purchase, storage and distribution of foodstuffs.
Nearly $4 million worth of perishable food is purchased each month in 22 European and African countries. This is in addition to the huge quantities requisitioned from the US and processed in local QM plants.
This represents
![](../../blank.jpg) more than 2 million pounds of bread;
![](../../blank.jpg) 5½ million pounds of potatoes;
![](../../blank.jpg) 500,000 pounds of coffee;
![](../../blank.jpg) 1,250,000 gallons of milk;
![](../../blank.jpg) 90,000 gallons of ice cream.
The food service program also includes specialized menu-planners, qualified food advisers and quartermaster-trained cooks.
QM SUPPLY ITEMS
The Supply Branch of the QM Division handles about 15,000 items of troop issue that ranges from helmets and cartridge belts to ski wax. Supply items are dispensed through the 80 sales stores in USAREUR.
The impending switch to the Army green uniform is a major job on tap for supply personnel. In a four-year period, QM supply will undertake a complete turnover of exisiting OD-33 stocks to make way for the new AG-44 uniform.
LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANING
Last year, the 21 laundries in Germany and France processed over 135,000,000 pieces of laundry and dry cleaned nearly 5 million articles.
QM MAINTENANCE
Last year, Depot maintenance shops reclaimed and returned to command stocks materials valued at a cost of $2 million. In addition, QM shops repaired everything from shoes to parachutes.
COMMISSARIES
A major role of the QM in Europe is the support of Army dependents. One aspect of that is to duplicate stateside supermarkets by operating modern commissaries in Europe.
LABORATORY
In the ongoing effort to improve methods and materials, the Quartermaster Market Center in Frankfurt operates an experimental laboratory where various QM items procured in Europe undergo extensive tests. |

Quartermaster Expendable Supply Centers |
|
1955 |
(Source: STARS & STRIPES, March 1, 1955) |
Quartermaster Expendable Supply Centers
USAREUR initiated the test phase for a new QM experiment in Europe on March 2, 1955 when it open the first two QM Expendable Supply Centers in Mannheim-Friedrichsfeld (QM Service Center) and in Berlin (QM Depot).
The two experimental self-service centers will enable unit commanders to obtain expendable QM items in a quicker and more economical manner than before. The plan is to replace the current time-consuming process of requisitioning of expendable articles.
Instead of preparing requests for their supplies, units will be able to shop for their day-to-day needs in supply centers that function like supermarkets. The basis for the new procedure is monetary accounting system that replaces the current item-by-item accounts and eliminates a number of supply-accounting transactions. The system will reduce stocks in unit supply rooms, cut paper work, and eliminate requisition requirements for nearly 8,000 items.
Each center is divided into six departments:
- office supplies
- cleaning and preserving supplies
- commissary supplies
- unit-level spare parts (for repair shops)
- field maintenance spare parts
- laundry supplies
A follow-up S&S article (April 26, 1955) reported on the experiences of the Friedrichsfeld QM Expendable Supply Center after the first month of operation:
More than $100,000 worth of "sales" to military units in the HACom area were recorded. Some 157 units had established accounts at the supply center.
The self-service center is stocked with some $275,000 worth of goods. The center carries about 8,000 Class II and IV items as well as additional thousands of spare parts.
A seventh department is planned for the supply centers:
- for chaplains' supplies and prisoners' articles. |
|
|
1959 |
(Source: STARS & STRIPES, July 30, 1959) |
The ninth and last QM Expendable Supply Center was opened at the Hanau QM Service Center (later named Grossauheim Ksn) on July 29, 1959.
The new self-service center provides a speedy method for supplying expendable articles to units with a minimum of paper work and effort.
The center maintains an average of 700 different expendable items.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7th Army Quartermaster = Col Jesse D. Bell
V Corps Quartermaster = Col F. R. Blankship
6th QM Group CO = Col Clifford T. Riordan
OIC of the Hanau QM Expendable Supply Center = Capt Glenn Carruthers
In July 1958, Seventh Army assumed responsibility for Quartermaster Class II and IV support (in Germany?). This would make them responsible for the nine self-service centers. |

7807th QM Direct Support Company, Emery Barracks, Würzburg |
(Source: Facebook, Dan Morad) |
We were a direct support company and ran the shops at Faulenberg Kaserne.
There were a lot of German civilians working there also.
I remember there was a laundry, tent & field clothes repair shops and mess kit & metal repair and the typewriter shop where I worked.
We had a mobile platoon which had a van that carried small shops so we could service the troops in the field or at other bases. I remember going to TDY to Bamberg, Nuremberg, Fuerth, & Kitzingen to service the typewriters at those bases. |

The Mobile Maintenance Platoon of 7th Army QM DS Co at Emery Barracks in Würzburg consists of 18 enlisted men. The platoon can provide repair services to up to two divisions in the field. The platoon is 100 percent mobile -- capable of carrying its own machines, repair shops and power sources on its own vehicles. In addition to its normal unit-support duties, the platoon maintains its own vehicles.
The men of the platoon are
hand-picked because they must be specialists in their work and must also be able to operate without officer supervision during field work.
In garrison, the platoon maintains its equipment and operates full scale from a tent, repairing QM C&E (clothing and eauipment) items for units in and around Würzburg. |

POL Bulk Supply & Distribution (Class III) |
|
|
|
(Source: Army Management Controls over Bulk Fuel in Germany and Italy, Sept 14, 1979, GAO Audit Report) |
USAREUR activities in Germany receive bulk fuel -- motor gasoline, diesel fuel and jet propulsion fuel -- through a system of US and NATO pipelines and storage terminals.
The fuel, which is procured by the Defense Fuel Supply Center, is delivered by Military Sealift Command tankers to the US-owned, French-operated petroleum terminal located near Donges, France.
From there the fuel moves by pipeline across France to one of three tank farms (Hinterweidenthal, Bellheim and Huttenheim) located in West Germany.
Fuel stored at these activities is transported to the 22 supply points by railcar, barge, or truck.
In FY 1978, the three tank farms issued 76 million gallons of fuel -- 27 million gallons of motor gasoline, 35 million gallons of diesel fuel, and 14 million gallons of jet propulsion fuel to the 22 supply points. |
