4 Annex B, JCS 202, 16 Jan 43, title: Draft Proposal Prepared by JCS Secretariat Suggesting that it be Referred to JCS by CofS, U. S. Army, 16 Jan 43. General Wedemeyer at the same time presented recommendations toward the same end. See memo, Brig Gen Wedemeyer for CofS, 7 Jan 43, sub: Reconstitution of Supporting Planning Agencies of JCS, Annex C, JCS 202, 16 Jan 43. Cf. OPD paper, Miss Alice Miller and Maj D. C. Fahey, Jr., 22 Oct 42 [revised as of 12 Jan 43], title: Background, Existing Auth, Functions, Orgns and Membership of CCS and their Supporting Agencies, folder filed with ABC 381 United Nations (23 Jan 43), 2. General Wedemeyer had this paper prepared for new planning officers. For the fact that the JPS, as of early 1943, was not operating under any charter or directive, see JPS 123, 2 Feb 43, sub: Proposed Charter of JPS. This paper, prepared by the Army members of JPS, pointed out that the only basis for the JPS was a phrase in CCS 9/1, defining the functions of the CPS. "By implication," then, "the Joint Staff Planners have a parallel relationship to the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

5 JCS 202/1/D, 20 Jan 43, title: War Planning Agencies.

6 The continuing concern of the Army planner with many kinds of joint planning was shown by the fact that the Policy Section had about as much staff work to do for the chief of S&P as the Strategy Section did.

7 From the late spring of 1943 throughout the rest of the period of hostilities, membership on the JPS regularly went with four staff positions in the services. The Army planner was chief of S&P, OPD. The Army Air planner was Assistant Chief of Staff, Plans, Air Staff. The Navy planner was Assistant Chief of Staff, Plans, Office of the Commander in Chief, U. S. Fleet (COMINCH). The second Navy member, who brought the Army-Navy strength into balance, normally (beginning in June 1943) was his immediate subordinate, the Assistant Planning Officer (Air), Plans, COMINCH.

8 The planners individually went on using their own staffs, of course. They also continued to appoint ad hoc subcommittees, mainly to deal with questions of policy, many of which did not fall within the scope of any of the standing subcommittees in the JCG system.

11 This administrative change, though not accomplished until the beginning of June, was contemplated at the time of setting up the JWPC. See memo, OPD for DCofS, 27 Apr 43, sub: Representation on War Planning Agencies of JCS, ABC 381 United Nations (23 Jan 42), 2. This change being accomplished, there were four members (including Colonel Bessell) from OPD, and four from the Air Forces. The fourth Air Forces member was from the Air Plans Division.

20 For example, after the CCS meeting on 20 October 1944, General Marshall notified Generals Handy and Hull that he had been requested, on the basis of discussion at the meeting, to propose a directive regarding the use of the proximity fuze, "which should be in the form of expressing a general policy, and which would govern the Combined Chiefs of Staff as well as General Eisenhower." See memo, Gen Marshall for Lt Gen Handy and Maj Gen Hull, 20 Oct 44, no sub, with SS 316 in ABC 381 Strategy Sec Papers (7 Jan 43). Under SS 316 are filed the drafts prepared in the Strategy Section, and subsequent drafts, including that submitted by General Marshall to the JCS. General Marshall made very great changes, and the chief of the Strategy Section called them to the attention of his officers, remarking that they gave a good idea of what the Chief of Staff wanted, and that the officers should look them over carefully "with a view of familiarizing ourselves with this and other matters of like nature which we may expect from time to time." See memo, Col J. J. Billo for All Offs of Strategy Sec, 23 Oct 44, no sub, with SS 316 in ABC 381 Strategy Sec Papers (7 Jan 43).

21 The Strategy Section studies (in numbered series, identified by the initials SS), are filed under ABC 381 Strategy Section Papers (7 Jan 43). This file (of which there arc more than twenty volumes in the period of World War II hostilities) runs from SS 2 (7 Jan 43) to SS 395 (26 Jul 45). Many papers of the series are lacking. For procedure in preparing Strategy Section studies, see Strategy Sec Memo 1, 29 Mar 43, with SS 45 in ABC 381 Strategy Sec Papers (7 Jan 43). Besides this file, the other regular source of Strategy Section opinion is the series of briefs (entitled Notes on Meetings) prepared for the use of the Army planner. These are in the ABC files with the subject JWPC papers.

28 Min 143d meeting JPS, Item 12, 5 Apr 44. Colonel Bessell at this meeting explained that there had been:
numerous cases in which the Joint War Plans Committee have been asked to conduct studies, as a matter of urgency, and have found that information contained in War and Navy Department dispatches had not been brought to their attention because of its highly secret nature and special distribution.
The ensuing delay meant that either the information contained in these dispatches was not taken into consideration during the preparation of the report, or that completion of the report had to be delayed until the messages became available.

The JPS also discussed, but did not agree to, the dissemination of such information to other JCS working committees, the Joint Logistics Committee and the Joint Intelligence Committee.

29 Colonel Bessell afterwards wryly observed: "Perhaps the greatest single difficulty of the JWPC in performing its mission of staying ahead of the war was keeping up with it." See summary, Col Bessell, for use of OPD Hist Unit, Feb 48, title: JWPC, OPD Hist Unit Comments file. Many of the points made in the text correspond to points made by Colonel Bessell in this analysis.

The introduction states:
As the word is used in the following pages, its meaning . . . embraces all military activities not included in the terms "strategy" and "tactics." In this sense, logistics includes procurement, storage, and distribution of equipment and supplies; transport of troops and cargo by land, sea and air; construction and maintenance of facilities; communication by wire, radio and the mails; care of the sick and wounded; and the induction, classification, assignment, welfare, and separation of personnel.
