Abstract
This article aims to provide information about Labor Battalions getting at rear guard during World War I, as an all-out war in a 10-year war period starting with Balkan Wars. Similar to all consecutive wars, armies in World War I established organizations like labor battalions to support their combat units. In the Ottoman Army, Labor Battalions which consisted of non-Muslims, Muslims out of 20-45age range and prisoners of war, involved in every activity at the rear guard to provide soldiers on the front with war materials and to evacuate any broken material limiting their mobility. These activities have a wide range such as enlarging railway and highway networks, doing maintenance and repair, cutting and carrying woods to provide the fuel needed for railway networks, handling/evacuating from wagons and trucks, carrying foods because of lack of animals, fighting against grasshoppers and dealing with agriculture.
