Inhaltsangabe

How the Army moved people, gear, and supplies in wartime—inside the United States and to distant battlefronts. This volume, the second in a trio of Transportation Corps works, explains the policies and methods used to move troops and materiel from the U.S. to overseas theaters, and how the Transportation Corps supplied and trained the forces needed for victory. It presents the machinery behind movement, training, and supply, focusing on the Chief of Transportation’s unique responsibilities and the challenges of wartime logistics.

The book blends policy, practice, and wartime experience to show how transportation services were organized, coordinated, and executed. It highlights the networks, facilities, and procedures that kept troops moving, equipment flowing, and ships loaded, with attention to how training and supply functioned alongside movement operations. Readers gain a grounded view of the daily work, decisions, and trade-offs that sustained military mobility during the war.
