US Army Transportation in 1943

Why We Fight ~ 1944 - A podcast by Sasha Maggio (MoT)

Categorie:

In this episode, I'm joined by Matthew Fraas, the US Army Transportation Museum's Education Specialist, and Matthew tells us about Army Transportation in 1943. This includes going into North Africa for Operation Torch, going into Sicily for Operation Husky, and then the invasion of mainland Italy beginning in September 1943. We talk lessons learned, lessons not learn, integrating capabilities, the importance of centralized control in military operations, and what the more modern fore calls Logistics Over the Shore (LOTS). This is one of about 30 episodes that help tell the story of the Sicily Campaign in 1943. Links US Army Transportation Museum (https://transportation.army.mil/museum/)
