	Rail Transportation; An Historical Military Study, Quartermaster Review 1927 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Transportation is the corner-stone upon which the whole structure of modern civilization is reared; and the corner-stone could not be laid until the railroad was produced.
		The most notable achievement of the rail transportation division of the Quartermaster General's office during the year 1865, was the transportation to their homes of the Armies of the West and of the Potomac after their review by the President and his Cabinet.
		On March 1, 1917, at a conference with the Secretary of war, at which were the Special Committee and representatives of the General Staff and from the Quartermaster General's Office, it was decided that in case of any large troop movements the transportation should be handled under the same plan as in 1916.

	Quartermaster Supply in the AEF, 1917-1918 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Transportation of men and materials, originally the Quartermaster Corps' prime function, was in both wars removed from Quartermaster control for separate administration, but supply of fuel, for mechanical transport, and of horses and mules and their forage and equipment, for animal transport, remained a Quartermaster responsibility in both wars.
		The general objective of the Quartermaster service in the AEF was to maintain a stock of ninety days' supply in France, replenished partly by automatic shipment and partly by requisition on supply agencies in the United States and by local procurement.
		Much of this work was not begun until late 1917 and early 1918, and some of the largest installations, planned to serve not only the two million men of the AEF in 1918 but the four million men expected in 1919, were far from complete when the war ended.

		Such markings, placards and labels generally must be retained on packages until the packaging is sufficiently cleaned of residue and purged of vapors to remove any potential hazards and retained on transport vehicles, freight containers, motor vehicles or rail freight cars until hazardous material which requires the marking or placarding is removed therefrom.
		The Secretaries of Labor, Transportation and the Treasury should cooperate in order to ensure that placards and labels required on hazardous materials and explosives, both in transportation and at stationary facilities, be retained until such materials have been removed to the extent that they no longer pose a safety risk.
		In response to both concerns, the final rule applies to the employer who receives the containers of hazardous materials and not the person responsible for transporting such material unless the material is still under the control of the transporter at its final destination when it is out of transportation.
