• Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 3 August; is of good length, well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I found no issue with overly close paraphrasing in a random spotcheck on citations; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; you might considered omitting the first "ammunition" to avoid repetition; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 05:52, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

• "ordering 2,250,000 from the NYPE, and he ordered 2,580,000 of the new woollen sleeping bags" - Link/gloss NYPE

  Y Linked and glossed.Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

• " met with Major General Lucius D. Clay at ASF headquarters." - ASF needs glossed as well (it was explained in the transport article; I imagine that it was hard to keep track of what was linked in the individual articles)

  Y Yes. When the article was split I had to re-link and re-gloss terms. Missed a couple. Linked and glossed.Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

• "he recommended that clothing for the Ninth Army in Brittany and the Communications Zone troops be brought in through the minor ports in LSTs" - LST also needs linked/glossed

• It is explained in the link, but would it be worthwhile to go ahead and state upfront that winter clothing would have been Class II

  Y Done. Also linked and glossed. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

• " the authorized increase for 155 mm howitzer ammunition was particularly large: 11,303,000 rounds per month" - Is this the new authorization figure, or just the increase in authorization figures?

  Y Yikes! Typo: should be 1,303,000 rounds per month. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

• "The first bulk Fuel was discharged at Le Havre on 31 October," - is the capitalization of Fuel intentional?

  Y De-capped. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

• Images and sources look fine.

Good work here, placing on hold. Hog Farm _Talk 04:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

All points addressed. I particularly liked the part about Thanksgiving dinners. In the South West Pacific, the Australian Army's Commander-in-Chief, General Sir Thomas Blamey, ordered that all troops receive a special Christmas dinner for Christmas 1944. "All of them?" said the staff, "Even the patrol officers in remote villages in New Guinea? The commandos behind enemy lines? The radar personnel on tiny islands?" "Especially them" was the reply. The logistical effort was enormous, but the job was done. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
