THE ARMORED SENTINEL FORT HOOD TEXAS
clear at the outset of the war 750000 artillery pieces and V/2
that a large number of chemists
inspectors engi neers
machinists skilled mechanics
and technicians of various types
would be required to produce
and supply the vast quantity
of materiel needed for the war.
By the end of the war the
Corps had expanded from less
than one hundred personnel to
roughly 140000 officers enlisted
men and civilians."
million military vehicles. More
than 300000 soldiers in ordnance
units were required to support
the forces in the field according
to the corps' history.
Among the corps' ac
complishments has been the
continuation of basic rocket and
guided missile research and
development following World
War II which has produced the
re re of
technology personnel and e-
quipment involved in our cur
rent achievements in space.
The celebration of the
ordnance anniversary marks the
first time Ft. Hood has so
honored the corps. In com
menting on the corps ahd an
ticipating the corps' future Rice
said "The officers and warrant
officers of the Ordnance Corps
constitute a very substantial ele
ment in the logistical structure
of the U.S. Army. We anticipate
the incorporation of the techni-
a vi an he of
Army Unto an overall corps of
logisticians."
Rice continued by saying "We
recognize' that the technical
vi an he so
represented by the Ordnance
Corps will form the nucleus of
the logistic corps." He added
that such a logistics corps would
be in keeping with the Army's
concept of functionalization and
that it would be desirable to
preserve something of the spirit
and tradition of the technical
service branches which was
largely the purpose of the
ordnance anhiversary celebra
tion.
The guest speaker at the
Ordnance Officers Ball will be
the former deputy chief of staff
(logistics) of CONARC Maj.
Gen. (Ret) E. J. Gibson.
