The following are typical of AMC actions over the past year designed primarily to contribute to the increased effectiveness of U.S. and allied combat forces in Vietnam: AMC established VLAPA (Vietnam Laboratory Assistance Program, Army) to provide quick scientific and reaction, engineering assistance to U. S. Army forces in Vietnam. Under VLAPA, AMC lalxiratory representatives in Vietnam are allowed to levy their parent lalmratiries quick engineering solutions to problems they encounter in the field. Some of the requests or Iiciug worked on under the program include the aircraft crash position locater, paraglider combustible cartevaluation, ridge support, and new packages for water purification tablets. M551 d The airarmored reconnaissance borne assault vehicle, the Ceneral Sheridan, was initially deployed to Vietnam and committed to comliat in February. According to field commanders, the weapon system has made a significant contribution to the firepower and mobility of using units. As a result of an AMC development project the Ml 13 armored personnel carrier was equipped to perforin as an assault bridge.

AMC accelerated development of a lightweight water purification unit for use in Vietnam, which was shipped to Vietnam for support of battalion- - size mobile forces. - AMC continued to emphasize its program to obtain civilian employee volunteers for overseas assignments in support of users of Army materiel.

In addition, through your Integrated Logistic Support Planning, we are assured that necessary logi&ical support and instructions are available when new weapons systems are sent to the field. An initial step in streamlining AMCs organization and improving its effective operation in support of the Army in the field was taken in May of this year with a realignment of the Command's Washington, D.C. Headquarters. The realignment involved the appointment of a Deputy Commanding Ceneral for Materiel Acquisition, who will center his attention on the industrial base, and a Deputy Commanding Ceneral for Logistics Support, who will focus upon supporting the Army in the field. These deputies were named in addition to the existing principal Deputy Commanding General, the CGs chief assistant and in to source manager, and already tablidied Deputy for Laliorato-fbree- s ries.
