		This changed to The Royal Wagon Train in 1802, and this unit served during the Napoleonic Wars in the Peninsula and at Waterloo.
		The troops in the Crimea suffered dreadfully during the winter of 1854/55 because there was insufficient transport to move their supplies eight miles from the harbour to their encampments.
		This implies that for an army to be successfully maintained with supplies and transport, the Corps responsible, must be fully combatant, with both officers and men fully trained soldiers and fully trained in their particular skill areas.
