From the Preface: "The U.S. Army Materiel Command and U.S. Army Supply and Maintenance Command experience during the intervention of the United States in the Dominican Republic crisis of 1965 is here recorded in an incomplete and interim form. It is necessary to regard this narrative as an interim effort because of several unchangeable factors. A short time limit was deliberately placed on the production of the historical report so that planners could have quick reference hard on the heels of events. This would be especially helpful in the efforts of Plans officers to improve revisions of contingency plans. These plans are constantly under study and revision under peacetime conditions, but the forcing of a real life "exercise," such as the one in the Dominican Republic, affords a sounding board that reveals unforeseen and virtually unforeseeable complications. Such an opportunity is without parallel in peacetime exercises, because no matter how much realism is attempted, there is an inevitable feeling of artificiality, a control of fate, and a tempting chance to gloss over errors."
