About

From the introduction of rail as a mode of transport to modern day military operations, rail has proven itself to be a significant combat multiplier. The successful use of a railway system can dramatically reduce the logistical footprint and be a source of cost savings. Even a small train can move as much as a single Army truck company, while simultaneously mitigating great risk to Soldiers' lives by keeping drivers off dangerous roads. The Army's rail force that transitioned to the expeditionary railway center, comprised of four rail companies and one rail battalion, reflected a traditional operating unit and was not consistent with current operational needs. The logistical operational environment had changed from the physical operation of rail to the management of rail.
