Field Manual FM 4-40 Quartermaster Operations Change 1 April 2014
describes Quartermaster operations at all levels to include supply and
field service functions. By reading this FM, commanders, staffs, and
Soldiers will have an understanding of Quartermaster mission,
organizations, and functions and will be better prepared to exercise
them in an operational environment. More importantly, this field manual
serves as the bridge between this force and the next, discussing units
and systems that are being fielded now and into the near future,
including Global Combat Support System - Army(GCSS-Army). While Army
transformation to modularity is complete, our evolution will continue as
we adjust the Army to new design for the Army of 2020. To support our
force, we must focus ourselves on this new environment and apply the
same innovation and professionalism that make us successful.
