By the Hundred Days, many depots and logistics centers had been subtly reorganized. Their placement helped prepare the support needed for that campaign. The preceding campaigns of 1914, 1915 and 1916 had remained constrained by decisions made early in 1914 about the location and arrangement of major hubs. Later improvements therefore depended on revisiting infrastructure choices that had shaped operations throughout the war.
