Sounds like Confederates at the siege of Vicksburg.
Could also have been the Army of the Cumberland, besieged at Chattanooga, and living on half-rations.
They were used to carry ammo for the soldiers and carry there backpacts with there equipement
horses, mules, dogs, cattle. Horses were used for cavalry. Mules were to help work and carry some supplies. Dogs were to sniff out and find enemies.
Batteries can be confusing as a battery in the Civil War usually meant a team of 4 to six cannon manned by 100 men, utilising some 30 to 50 horses or mules, and commanded by a captain. However electrical batteries were also used during the Civil War to power telegraph communication and for electric detenation of sea mines. (known as torpedos in the 1860's)
In regiments from several states, blacks fought alongside whites in the same units. However, most black combat soldiers were organized into units designated 'N' or 'C' (Negro or Colored). All the enlisted men were black and nearly all of the officers were white. Before the creation of those special all-black units, many regiments used black soldiers for support duties such as cooking, tending mules, and driving wagons. By the end of the war nearly 10% of the Union Army was black.
Primarily messenger pigeons and working dogs (somewhere around 10,000 dogs by the end of the war. The Russian calvary also consisted of a lot of horses at the time the Germans invaded. actually .

Horses, mules
Gallipoli was a campaign or battle, a part of the larger World War 1 . Horses and mules were used there, but not in any large significant way. Almost all the soldiers who took part did so as infantry.

Well mules with mules they will be just like horses.(They will have alpha mare or alpha gelding and so on and so forth) but when you have mules with horses mules are always on the bottom of the food chain....They will give into what the horses wants them to do.
When there was no other food, and they were starving, soldiers have eaten horses and mules that were military animals.
yes because mules are female horses
horses
All events for horses are open to mules as well (and the mules usually win), but mules specifically are raced in Texas. Mules cannot race in thoroughbred or quarterhorse races, and, they cannot out run either breed..Horses are faster than mules.
Horses and mules were used to pull barges through smaller waterways with little or no current.
Dogs to track/ guard I believe, but definitely horses for fighting on their backs. There is also a great story about a dog used in the civil war as a spy, see the added link.
No they are not. Horses are related to Zebras, Donkeys, and Mules.
Answer 1. They are stronger, more stubborn, and clumsier than horses. if you want something for pack, mules would be better. If you want something to ride, horses are better. Answer 2. They are better than horses at all sports and for farm work. They train well (there are quite a few in the USA doing competitive dressage, for example), are about 50% stronger than horses and require about 40% less food. They are also highly intelligent, their IQs being in the same range as that of the most intelligent dogs.
