  • "The aim of this history is to tell the story of the supply of fresh foods, or "perishable subsistence," to the armed forces of the United States during and after World War II. That story began in 1941 with the establishment of the Army Quartermaster Market Center Program, which, after the war, became the Quartermaster Market Center System. The Market Center Program, as an emergency wartime measure, was a nation-wide, centrally controlled and coordinated system of procurement and distribution designed to fill the needs of millions of men for perishable foods in terms of the right quality, quantity, time, and place. As such it replaced the previous peacetime policy of independent local buying by the individual military posts, camps, and stations, which was clearly incapable of meeting the logistical requirements of wartime supply."
