Not much changed in military transportation until the massive U.S. Civil War tore the nation apart. Soon militaries on both sides were developing strategic military transportation networks and utilizing a combination of the traditional and modern technologies of the time. The first use of railroads and steamboats in U.S. military history play a strategic role, while traditional wagons and other watercraft continue critical support as well. The industrial age had arrived for U.S. Army Transportation.
