About

CHAPTER 2 THE ARMY WATER TRANSPORT FLEET 2-1. Background Upon its establishment on 31 July 1942, the Army Transportation Corps assumed responsibility for worldwide movement of cargo on oceangoing vessels owned or chartered by the US Army. The corps was also responsible for planning and executing movement of Army passenger and freight traffic on transports operated by the Navy and on commercial shipping. These missions generated a requirement for a variety of small boats and other floating equipment. The Transportation Corps was responsible for pro- curement, maintenance, and logistic support of this fleet, which varied in design for harbor, coastwise, and interisland service.
