It highlights the significant logistic preparations made by the Soviets, including the stockpiling of critical supplies such as ammunition and POL (petroleum, oil, and lubricants), the development of medical support facilities, and the establishment of maintenance capabilities. The report concludes that Soviet logistic preparations in East Germany significantly exceed their doctrinal requirements for the forces currently stationed there, suggesting a large reserve for the Western Theater of Military Operations. The report notes that while these preparations likely make Soviet planners confident of their ability to sustain the initial period of a war, they would still need to mobilize large numbers of support personnel to sustain a prolonged conflict.This annotated edition illustrates the capabilities of the AI Lab for Book-Lovers to add context and ease-of-use to manuscripts.
