It is also one of three U.S. Army logistics branches the others being the Transportation Corps and the Ordnance Corps. The Quartermaster Corps is the U.S. Army's oldest logistics branch established 16 June 1775. On that date the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution providing for "one Quartermaster General of the grand army and a deputy under him for the separate army". From 1775 to 1912 this organization was known as the Quartermaster Department. In 1912 Congress consolidated the former Subsistence Pay and Quartermaster Departments to create the Quartermaster Corps.

This manual was designed for use by antiaircraft searchlight batteries as a guide in the handling of materiel selection of personnel employment of practical training methods and service of the piece. This manual reflects the state of knowledge and the standards of practice at the time of entry of the U. S. into World War II. An Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Battery was used for the detection location and illumination of enemy aircraft during darkness enabling Gun Batteries to fire at enemy aircraft efficiently. The battery was made up of 2 transport trucks Searchlight Control Station Sound Locator Power plant and interconnecting cables. It took a team of 12 men to operate One Searchlight Battery. The U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps CAC was an administrative corps responsible for coastal harbor and anti-aircraft defense of the United States between 1901 and 1950. The CAC also operated heavy and railway artillery during World War I. The outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939 and the Fall of France in June 1940 greatly accelerated US defense planning and funding. On 27 July 1940 the Army's Harbor Defense Board recommended the construction of 27 eventually 38 16-inch two-gun batteries to protect strategic points along the US coastline to be casemated against air attack. The 16-inch guns were only the top end of the World War II program which eventually replaced almost all previous coast defense weapons with newer or remounted weapons. Generally each harbor defense command was to have two or three 16-inch or 12-inch long-range batteries plus 6-inch guns on new mountings with protected magazines and 90 mm Anti Motor Torpedo Boat AMTB guns.29 In 1943-44 with most of the new defenses completed U.
