# [[Mormon Battalion Trail]] is one of the [[Historic Trails of America]]. The Mormon Battalion, the only religion-based unit in United States military history, served from July 1846 – July 1847 during the Mexican–American War of 1846–1848. This volunteer unit of about 550 [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Latter-day Saint]] men was commanded by regular U.S. Army officers. During its service, the battalion made a grueling march of nearly 2,000 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to San Diego, California. The historic Box Canyon portion of this trail is only twenty miles from Camp Mataguay, along highway S-2. | |||
