During World War II, British military leaders asked scientists and engineers to analyze several military problems, including the deployment of radar and the management of convoy, bombing, antisubmarine, and mining operations.

Kalani set out again on 15 October as a part of Convoy SC 8, a Sydney – Liverpool convoy.
The analyses did not take into account the numbers of convoys or animals and the mixing of animals: from different farms per convoy, at resting places, at borders, when received by individuals and at markets in the country of destination.
Wilmot found himself on a mine-sweeper on convoy escort duty, picking up survivors as cargo vessels were torpedoed in front of them.
The train consists of a convoy of articulated two-axle wagons.
Emphasis mine, of course.
Just north of Blackhorse the lead vehicle of the convoy hit a road mine, damaging a dozer tank but resulting in no casualties.
Achouri likened the incident to other attacks in the region and said insurgents had used "the same modus operandi: a land mine placed in the path of a convoy".
Employees at Mr. Salaf's shop show one of the more than 5,000 videos they sell, of Mr. Sadr's fighters launching rockets at American bases and setting off mines targeting American convoys, to a martial drumbeat.
