"April 1962." "The United States Army Quartermaster board, as now constituted, was established in 1953. It has three major functions: 1) as a military advisory group to the Quartermaster General; 2) as the Quartermaster Corps Combat Development Agency; and 3) to monitor new and revised doctrinal guidance within the Quartermaster Corps. The overall mission of the Board is to consider the probable trend of future developments and to recommend actions that will keep the United States Army Quartermaster Corps abreast and ahead of the times in meeting its responsibilities for national defense."
