ADSEC ADSEC or ADSEC / COMZ represents " The Advance Section , Communications Zone " , European Theater of Operations , United States Army , ( ETOUSA ) which was formally activated at Bristol in February 1944 . It is commonly referred to as simply ' ADSEC ' . This was a U . S . Army logistical agency , the first on the Continent . Upon its creation ADSEC was attached to the U . S . First Army , and gradually took over the Communications Zone activities . The agency moved forward with the Armies and provided close support . ADSEC provided detail planning for the invasion of Normandy , D - Day . As such , ASDEC did not have a " base " of operations because this support organization was designed to be on the move continuously . For example , major operations always had a designated " D " day or start date for operations . ADSEC units were moved into " operating areas " on or several days after a particular " D " day . They stayed until about the D + 40 , at which time FECOMZ ( Forward Echelon , Communications Zone ) units would take over . ADSEC units then moved forward to the next " D " location . After the June 6 , 1944 invasion ADSEC was detached from the U . S . First Army and took control of activities at the port of Cherbourg , with engineering activities that included the beaches and landing zones ; taking over command of the areas left behind as the First Army moved forward . Besides bringing in supplies for the advancing armies , ADSEC also rehabilitated railway rolling stock and provided transportation of POL ( Petroleum , Oil and Lubricants ) using rail and motor operations ( see Red Ball Express ) . ADSEC units included field hospital s that lay near the rear areas of the advancing Armies . ADSEC also operated blood banks to store large quantities under refrigerated condition for use at front line hospitals . This system of location of storage depots were flexible , so that in advance of a major military operation blood would be stored where needed , close to front line actions , but when the engagement was over then blood would be transported back to hospitals and other bases , or wherever it was needed . ADSEC also included Finance disbursement units . These units were employed to compute payrolls , travel vouchers , etc . and prepare disbursements and collections of monies . ADSEC coordinated disbursement of ordnance and munitions to keep the front lines supplied . ADSEC officials were responsible for overseeing Red Ball Express transportation activities within the ADSEC Transportation Section . ADSEC units had to anticipate the needs of the advancing armies and provide as close support as possible to the advancing armies as the situations demanded . These units also provided heavy maintenance work for the advancing armies .
