'''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. This trail follows approximate path of SR-76 to [[Mission San Luis Rey]] (site where the Battalion saw the ocean for the first time) and then turns south down [[El Camino Real]]. | '''Mormon Battalion Trail''' is one of the [[Historic Trails of America]].
