The Engineer Corps is charged with all construction, including light railways and roads.
From Kelly Miller
The eventual place the American army should take on the western front was to a large extent influenced by the vital question of communication and supply.
The French were generous in giving us assistance in corps and army artillery, with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority over the enemy in guns of all calibers.
The success of the Allies in the west was in a measure offset by Teutonic victories in the east. When the invasion of Belgium began, Russia made immediate efforts to counteract by invasion of East Prussia.
The year 1915 was one of meager results, the advantages remaining on the side of the Central Powers, with this understanding, however: The Allies were growing stronger because Great Britain was making rapid progress in marshaling her resources for war.
To meet the shortage of supplies from America, due to lack of shipping, the representatives of the different supply departments were constantly in search of available material and supplies in Europe.
When the armistice was declared American forces had fought their way to Sedan.
With Germany herself falling, it is not strange that the nations leagued with her also went down to defeat.
