Mechanization of the Army

Mechanization of the Army refers to replacing traditional foot or horse-based transportation and combat methods with motorized vehicles, such as tanks, trucks, and armored personnel carriers. This shift enhances mobility, speed, and logistical support on the battlefield, allowing armies to move faster, carry more supplies, and respond more efficiently to threats. It also improves protection for soldiers and increases overall operational effectiveness, transforming warfare from manual, labor-intensive efforts to more advanced, mechanized operations.
