Some historical background:

The Japan Logistical Command was a major logistics organization of the United States Armed Forces during the post-World War II occupation of Japan. It was established in 1945, and was responsible for providing logistics and supply support to the U.S. forces in Japan and the Far East Command.

The Japan Logistical Command was responsible for managing the procurement, transportation, storage, and distribution of all supplies and equipment needed by the U.S. forces in Japan. This included everything from food and clothing, to ammunition and vehicles.

The command was headquartered in Tokyo and was led by a U.S. Army general. It operated a network of supply depots and transportation assets throughout Japan and maintained close coordination with other U.S. military commands in the region.

The Japan Logistical Command played a critical role in supporting U.S. military operations during the Korean War and continued to provide logistics support during the Cold War era. The command was eventually disbanded in 1973 as part of a broader reorganization of U.S. military forces in the Pacific.
