The Experimental Motorized Forces were United States Army units formed to use post-World War I military transportation tactics. The first of these units was assembled on July 1, 1928, at Fort Meade (at the time known as "Fort Leonard Wood") near Baltimore, Maryland, and deployed on July 17 for United States Department of War officers. It formed a convoy long with 240 vehicles and 1,100 men to Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Subsequent convoys from the Fort included one long that camped on the Gettysburg Battlefield on July 31; one with 300 men and 96 vehicles to Tobyhanna Artillery Range via Pottstown, Pennsylvania, on August 14, and another to Gettysburg on October 11.
