Hello All,
I am new to the group and was wondering what people feel about resources to better understand the logistics of military operations including supply, transportation, timelines, order of movement etc. I want to better understand how armies were moved at that time, and the though processes and considerations for this. I don't yet have specific detail that I am looking for as this is a new interest to me. I read that there were Corps that would create trains as long as 50-70 miles….I always wondered…how was that possible. How did they resupply units, how long could a carry along supply of ammo last a regiment in an engagement and what were their options (of course this varied)
I've had a lot of fun looking at download data files unit sizes and casualties. I think the logistics of something on this magnitude would be fascinating to better understand. Thanks for any information you are willing to share.
