The Automobile Troops are troops in the Armed Forces of several former Soviet states, which transport personnel, deliver ammunition, fuel, food and other military materiel. They also evacuate wounded and sick personnel, and move weapons and military equipment.
Vehicle troops can transport troops that do not have their own vehicles. They consist of automobile (vehicle) units, and units, included in combined arms units and formations, as well as separate units and formations, sometimes constituting separate automobile units. They are called transport troops in some states.
Two of the most important such bodies are the Automotive Troops of the Russian Federation and the Belarusian Transport Troops.
