And way back when... there was a TV western where Our Hero
rode a bactrian (two hump) camel.  Not that I expect the
TV people to get this right, but did the Army try to use
the wrong kind of camel?

I have no idea.

More likely they found out why the camel has been described as "a
horse designed by a committee".
