Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Africa Despatches, Vol. 1: Presented to Parliament by Command of His Majesty A railway is of the greatest assistance, it is indeed essential to an army for the conveyance of, stores and supplies from the base, and it is a most valuable adjunct if it runs in the direction Of the Objective, but, even then, a certain proportion Of the troops must be equipped with wheel or pack transport to enable supplies to be collected, and to render the force sufficiently mobile to deal with many tactical difficulties which have to be surmounted owing to the greatly increased range and power of modern projectiles. NO organized transport corps existed when I arrived in South Africa. Some thousands of mules have been collected and a number of ex and mule wagons had been purchased, but what is known as the regimental system had been adopted, which consists in providing each unit with sufficient transport for its ammunition, baggage, and two or three days' supplies. Such a system may answer well enough for peace manoeuvres where the troops march short distances daily for a week or ten days, and where depots are established in advance from which the regimental supplies can be replenished. But this system is quite unsuitable for extensive Operations in a district where no food and scarcely any forage can be procured, where advance depots cannot be formed, and where all the necessaries required by an army in the field have to be carried for a considerable distance. It is, moreover, a very extravagant system, for during a campaign every corps is not required to be continually on the move. A certain number have to garrison important points and guard lines of com munication, and for these transport is not needed. On the regimental system, the transport attached to such corps Would remain with them, and would there fore not be available for general purposes, or, in the event Of its being taken away from them, no one would be specially responsible for its supervision. Major-general Lord Kitchener's experience in this important matter coincided with my own, and we decided that the first thing to be done was to form a properly organized Transport Department.
