medical facilities occupied or required for all units assigned to the brigade, and to serve as brigade claims officer. On 5 July 1968, the Staff Dietitian's activities were established as a staff section separate from the S-4. The organization of the S-4 Section again changed on 2 December to include a Brigade MUST Officer for "the purpose of coordinating all matters pertaining to MUST equipped hospitals. The medical supply officer position within the brigade S-4 section was re-established during the March 1968 The medical supply section continued to implement and refine programs that had been initiated during 1967. In addition, several new programs were developed. Among these were the following: Resupply sets (30 day) were developed based on actual demand data from surgical and evacuation hospitals. As new hospitals arrived in-country or were relocated under emergency conditions, the sets were assembled in Okinawa and shipped directly to the unit Mass casualty levels of supply, over and above routine requirements, were established for each hospital. During the Tet and May Off­ensives, these supplies proved essential to the treatment of casualties Out-of-country activity address codes for all major hospitals were obtained permitting direct emergency shipments from Okinawa or directly from the continental United States General supply and maintenance support of brigade units was satisfactory throughout the year. Although there were no items or logistic services in chronic short supply, there were shortages of some items at any given time. Stationery and printing supplies, spark plugs and non-medical repair parts for medical equipment were often unavailable. Command assistance in dealing with support units and redistribution of brigade assets generally resolved problems caused by shortages. During the year the Commanding General, 1st Logistical Command established a program to assist other commanders with critical problems related to support provided by his command. This commander-to-commander program produced excellent results. Some units with personnel billeted in hotel-type quarters in metropolitan areas experienced a serious shortage of rations and fuel during the Tet Offensive in January. Accordingly, such units subsequently pos­itioned a portion of their basic load of these supplies in their billeting areas. A vigorous command maintenance program was inaugurated in August 1968. The main thrust of this effort turned on command emphasis and traini.ng. The CMMI team was employed as an instructional activity. During inspections and special maintenance liaison visits, the team instructed commanders and maintenance personnel. The CMMI team completed its initial round of inspections
