Water logistics in the field
I know a wartime RCE field engineer, who besides being wonderful company and is a Legion comrade, worked his way from DDay to VEDay making roads, bridges and water. Stanley landed ahead of the assault waves in 5th Fd Coy RCE. His company was scattered in small parties all across the Canadian front, presumably to concentrate losses in one unit only.
Your tanker would be the sort of small transport that battalions and companies would need to get reliable water forward.
