What was some of the duties of the American Depot Brigades that stayed in the states, and what different things did the AEF Transportation Corps do overseas? Thanks for any help.

You may find a part answer to your question in the next 3 postings (taken from Field Service Regulations United States Army 1914)....

Hi Walcker,

Depot Brigades were administrative 'holding' units until a soldier was assigned to his final unit. They were normally associated with the Camp or Fort where the soldier was first sent for training.

Take care,

Neil
