supply wagons
Army provision carts
Supply wagons are vehicles used to transport provisions, equipment, and materials—particularly in military contexts.
Historically, armies depended on supply wagons to carry food, ammunition, and medical supplies behind advancing troops.
The term evokes images of horse-drawn carts trailing behind columns of soldiers: The supply wagons couldn't keep pace with the cavalry.
Modern usage is largely historical or appears in period fiction and games.
