On 31 July 1942 the Department of War recognized the need for a single manager of Army transportation and created a new branch the Transportation Corps. Since the Revolutionary War Army transportation had evolved through two branches the Quartermaster Corps and the Corps of Engineers. The demands of World War I made the Army first realize its need for a single manager for military transportation. So began an evolution over the next quarter century that culminated in the birth of the Transportation Corps during the opening months of World War II.<br /> <br /> The War Department directed the Quartermaster Corps to transfer the functions and responsibilities of truck and aviation units to the Transportation Corps by General Orders No. 77 on 24 July 1946. The same year the Transportation School consolidated all training except for drivers at Fort Eustis Virginia because of its intermodal rail and sea capability. In 1950 the Army turned over its deep-draft ships to the Military Sealift Command so the Army no longer had the largest navy in the United States military.<br /> <br /> That same year Brigadier General William B. Bunker convinced the Chief of Transportation Major General Frank S. Besson Jr. of the importance of helicopters in logistics. As a result in May the Army approved the organization of five helicopter companies with the first the 6th Transportation Company Helicopter activated in July 1952.<br /> <br /> In 1954 the Engineer Corps turned its landing craft over to the Transportation Corps making the Transportation Corps responsible for all modes of Army transportation. Coincidentally the Navy lifted the size limit on Army watercraft allowing the Army to build landing craft utility LCUs. This led the Transportation Corps to activate the 159th Boat Battalion.<br /> <br /> The Soviet threat against Europe provided the peacetime Army an enemy to plan against. In anticipation of the needs of the Army the Chief of Transportation directed and championed the development of military transportation. Contingency planners assumed the worst-case scenario in which the Soviet Union would use its bombers or worse yet its nuclear arsenal to destroy the fixed ports in France thus severing the vital lines of communication at their European end. This contingency required the Army to rely heavily on over-the-beach operations.<br /> <br /> The Transportation Corps is a Force Sustainment branch of the U.S. Army headquartered is now at Fort Lee Virginia and is responsible for the movement of personnel and matériel by truck rail air and sea. The Transportation Corps provides a full spectrum of transportation capabilities at the tactical operational and strategic levels of war. The Transportation School trains Soldiers to operate and maintain Army tactical trucks material handling equipment and watercraft. The school trains Transportation Operations Traffic Management Convoy Operations Cargo Transfer Cargo Documentation Movement Control Operation of Heavy Material Handling Equipment Sailing and Maintenance of Army Vessels and Unloading Aircraft Ships Railcars and Trucks.
