Don't know about that but do know what brought Eisenhower to attention
as a candidate for the highest commands was an exercise in the 1920s
where he moved a regiment from Chicago to New Orleans in what had been >thought to be an unimaginable time using both trucks and trains

The story I recall was that the German General Staff sent
"observers" to the US to study how the Ringling Brothers (et al) moved
their Circus by train. Essentially, a small town is packed up,
loaded, moved,unloaded, and unpacked, in less than a day at each end.
