===Mobilization=== {{See also|Military logistics|Airlift|Sealift}} A significant portion of military technology is about transportation, allowing troops and weaponry to be moved from their origins to the front. Land transport has historically been mainly by foot, land vehicles have usually been used as well, from chariots to tanks. When conducting a battle over a body of water, ships are used. There are historically two main categories of ships: those for transporting troops, and those for attacking other ships. Soon after the invention of aeroplanes, military aviation became a significant component of warfare, though usually as a supplementary role. The two main types of military aircraft are bombers, which attack land- or sea-based targets, and fighters, which attack other aircraft. '''[[Military vehicle]]s''' are land combat or transportation vehicles, excluding rail-based, which are designed for or in significant use by military forces. *[[List of military vehicles]] *[[List of armoured fighting vehicles]] *[[List of tanks]] '''[[Military aircraft]]''' includes any use of aircraft by a country's military, including such areas as transport, training, disaster relief, border patrol, search and rescue, surveillance, surveying, peacekeeping, and (very rarely) aerial warfare. *[[List of aircraft]] *[[List of aircraft weapons]] '''[[Warship]]s''' are watercraft for combat and transportation in and on seas and oceans. * [[Submarine]]s * Complex [[Rigging|masting and sail systems]] found on warships during the [[Age of Sail]] *[[Ship#Types of ships|List of historical ship and boat types]] *[[List of aircraft carriers]] *[[List of submarine classes]]
