Army Headquarters arrived at Fort Worden, October 1947, to assist in
preparing the Brigade for the overseas move,
Requisitions for the necessary engineer supply and spare parts
were filled from unit stocks at Fort Worden, with the exception of a
few items which were obtained from the Sngineer Depot at Fort Lewis,
Washington.
This included the spare parts for five. (5) additional
graders, authorized for this mission.

.
Since the Mt. Ranier Ordnance Depot was located near-by daily
contact with this agency was afforded, resulting in good service in
supply of available parts.
Spare parts not available at Ranier Ord-
nance Depot required numerous long distance telephone calls to
Letterkenny Ordnance Depot in Pennsylvania and air shipment of these
parts.
All signal items were available at Fort Worden with the exception
of expendables, batteries, tubes, etc., which were delivered on time.
Considerable difficulty was expereinced in procuring TC supplies from
depots, however, a substantial stock was on hand in Brigade supply.
The Engineer equipment authorized, over and above the Brigade
TO/E, routed through NABD, Port Hueneme, arrived sporadically but on
time; the last of these items were loaded aboard the Marshall Victory
which sailed four (4) days after the Pickaway.
