Τα Τάγματα Εργασίας (Αμελέ Ταμπουρού) που ίδρυσε η Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία (Νεότουρκοι) κατά τον Α' ΠΠ. Επανδρώθηκαν με εκτοπισμένους Έλληνες της Ιωνίας και του Πόντου, που αναγκάστηκαν σε βαρειά εργασία, υπό σκληρές συνθήκες, στο εσωτερικό της Μικράς Ασίας. Υπολογίζεται ότι 250.000 Έλληνες έχασαν τη ζωή τους σε αυτά ως το τέλος του 1918.
