    The US Army required a lot of supply in the Civil War; hardtack buiscuit, Whole Bean Coffee, Bacon, Remington Ammunition and Firing Caps, not to mention Springfield Muskets, Kepis, Coats, blankets, shoes, socks, medicines, tools...  The US Army six-mule wagon of the Civil War could carry 2,800 pounds of goods and travelled at the rate of 2.5 mph. Each regiment was allotted six wagons, managed by the quartermaster officer, with inventories & load plans for each.
