itions or deliveries by local organizations or by way of booty from the enemy.

each month all combined units and separate units subordinate to an arqy
submit summary reports of their activities on the same form.
10. Any delay in submitting reports is dangerous for the chief of the rood supply
section of a division and the deputy commander of the division in charge of
the rear, because if one unit is late in reporting, the division tannot submit
a report on the whole division-4 the Army, its report; and the front, its report
The result is that the Nein Adrinistration of Supply cannot prepirti a summary
report, an the front as a whole and is unable to get a true picture of the
supply situation of the Army in the country. The rear of the Army also
submits a summary report on form No 1 to the Food Supply Section of the front
by the 18th of the month and the Food Supply Section of the front nut pre-
pare its own summary report on the front and submit it to the Main Adminis-
tration of Supplies USSR by the ath of each month.
