The move from regimental provision of extra services to an army wide one was made almost entirely due to the maladministration experienced during the Crimean war. It was realised that specialisation and expertise were required for a modern army in the field. Consequently a whole raft of new corps and departments were introduced in order to bring efficiency to the army.
