Military Transport: From WWII to Today

By Etienne Psaila

From the rugged "Deuce and a Half" trucks that powered Allied victory in World War II to today's armored, autonomous, and hybrid fleets, Military Transport: From WWII to Today tells the untold story of the vehicles that made modern warfare possible. Drawing on over eight decades of history, it reveals how standardized trucks, convoys, and specialized haulers became the true backbone of armies across every major conflict.

This comprehensive account explores the evolution of logistics vehicles in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, placing them alongside tanks, aircraft, and ships in their rightful role: essential enablers of strategy. It covers not just the machines themselves but the depots, bases, and global networks that sustain them, showing how logistics has quietly decided the fate of battles.

Richly detailed and fact-driven, this book offers readers a global perspective on military trucks and transport systems from 1940 to 2025. It is both a tribute to the soldiers who drove them and a recognition of the enduring importance of mobility and supply in shaping twentieth- and twenty-first-century warfare.
