The so-called "Liberty Ships". They were continually breaking their own records in building them - at one point, I think they were christening one new ship a day.

Lewis and Clark built fort(s) for security and to store their supplies.
The first engagement was around Fort Sumter. Located in Charleston Harbor, it was a fort built to protect the harbor. When the US Navy hired a ship to take supplies, Southern troops fired on the ship. This lead to cannon fire at the fort as well. The ship had to retire and the Union soldiers surrendered.
The Transportation and distibution of supplies going from City point to the Petersburg Front evolved as follows: 1 - An already existing railroad was properly repaired allowing the flux of reinforcement and supplies from City Point up to the front, linking the Union Headquarter and the logist base to the entrenchments. 2 - Behind those and side by side was built a new military railroad which allowed the quick displacement of men, artilleries, munition and supplies from one to the other point of the front. 3 - At City Point were built large piers and jetties for the berthing and docking of the ships, warehouses and barracks.

Unpaved roads existed long before the Romans and also during Roman times. Rome's innovation was the paved roads. The first paved road was the famous Appian way which was built in 312 BC. The paved roads were built for military purposes. They speeded up the movement of troops and made the transport of supplies to the troops at the front or in stationed in garrisons quicker and easier.
The Roman invention of the stone-paved roads made transport easier. These roads were conceived for military purposes. The first stone-paved way was the Appian way which was built in 312 BC to speed up the movement of Roman troops to the front of the Second Samnite War. These roads made both the movement of troops and of military supplies to soldiers at the front or in garrisons quicker and easier. They had the same effect on transport in general, including the movement of goods for trade.

Well, the other (non-buffalo) troops were very prejudiced and bigoted towards them, which is never good. And none of their supplies were built very well, and they didn't even get that many supplies. Also, their food and water was limited.
The Romans built the famous stone-paved roads (the via munita), which had military purposes. They speeded up the movement of troops to the front and made the transport of supplies to the soldiers at the front or stationed in garrisons quicker and easier. However, the stone-paved roads constituted only 20% of the network of roads around the Roman Empire. The Romans also built gravelled roads (the via glareata) and earthwork roads (the via terrena).
Roads were important for general travel and the travel of public officials to the provinces of the empire, for the couriers who carried state messages, for the transport of good for trade and for the military. Some 20% of the network of roads built by the Romans around the empire were the famous stone-paved Roads. These had a military purpose. The speeded up the movement of troops to the front and facilitated the transport of supplies to soldiers stationed at the front or in garrisons.
The famous Roman roads were the paved roads, the first one of which was built in 312 BC. Before this the Romans had unpaved roads. Paved roads had a military purpose. They sped up the movement of Roman troops and supplies to Roman military bases. This improved transport and communication also facilitated the movement of goods for trade. One of these roads was called via Salaria (Salt Road) and was used for the transport of salt from the west to the east coasts of central Italy. Salt was a precious commodity in antiquity because it was the only preservative.
