WI: US military adopts the camel corps.

this, if I were to recommend any camel it would be the Bactrian, it is much better suited to much of North America, just stay out of forests, between their height and size being an issue and bears, wolves and cougars they would make quick work of the camel
Why not both? Bactrian/dromedary crosses display hybrid vigor, so a breeding program would want both if they want to maximize the capabilities of their camels.
 
Where would the Bactrian's come from?

The government did want both, but most of the two shiploads were Dromedaries since they were bought in North Africa and the Middle East. One shipload did have two Bactrian's and a hybrid.

China, the Bactrian could be seen as a Chinese pack/draft animal at first
