1. Introduction -- 2. Run-up to the Military Occupation of Germany, 1945-1949 -- 3. Supporting the Military Force and the Birth of 'Little Americas' -- 4. Supporting the U.S. Military Families: 'Little Americas' Begin to Crawl -- 5. Supporting Local Populations: Germans, Displaced Persons, Expellees and Refugees -- 6. Logistics, the Bridge to Cultural Exchange: Bratwurst versus Burger -- 7. Conclusion: 'We are in country for the long haul'.

This book examines the US Army's presence in Germany after the Nazi regime's capitulation in May 1945. This presence required the pursuit of two stated missions: to secure German borders, and to establish an occupation government within the assigned US zone and sector of Berlin. Both missions required logistics support, a critical aspect often understated in existing scholarship. The security mission, covered by the combat troops, declined between 1945 and 1948, but grew again with the Berlin Blockade/Airlift in 1948, and then again with the Korean crisis in 1950. The logistics mission grew exponentially to support this security mission, as the US Army was the only US Government agency possessing the ability and resources to initially support the occupation mission in Germany. The build-up of 'Little Americas' during the occupation years stood forward-deployed US military forces in Europe in good stead over the ensuing decades.
