OVQWOT MANY elements contribute to final victory in battle. Leadership, team- work, courage and morale are extremely important elements, but of no less importance are the elements which sustain the combat efficiency of our troops through a smooth functioning system of service and supply. ln order to achieve victory, not only well-trained men but also well-equipped men must be placed in battle. The task of maintaining a steady stream of soldiers and supplies where they are needed is the problem of the Army Service Forces through its many agencies. , The Station Complements of the various Posts and Camps throughout the United States are part of the gigantic organization which is the Army Service Forces: of these Fort Bragg is one of the largest and most important installations. Like other Station Complements, that of Fort Bragg is engaged in supplying, housing and equipping the soldier and in furnishing him with facilities for medical care, for religious observances, and for recreational activities. To the Station Complement are assigned routine, but essential duties, such as, maintenance of installation utilities, maintenance of guns, tanks, vehicles and equipment, operation of Army Exchanges and various other duties which enable the soldier to carry on his training and to enjoy his off-duty hours. There is little reward in the work carried on by the Station Complement. The tasks are not spectacular, they receive no public acclaim. While cheering crowds greet the conquering heroes, we must continue to Work with unabated energy. The reward of the Station Complement must come from the inner satisfaction that springs from the knowledge of a job well done. In the following pages an attempt will be made to present the magnitude and scope of the job that has been done and is being done by the Army Service Forces, at Fort Bragg.
