# [[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. | |||
