tliscipline. The gootl or the brave officer or soldier is
alwavs respcttful towards sqMriors. He feels that, iu
Iran&ring them, Ix does honour to the service and him-
self. His respect will not then be confined simply to
martial obedience, but will be extended to other o~cakmsI
Thus it is idways ttw duty of the inferior to accost, or to
offer first the customary salutatian, and of the super& to
return such coml~timcntary notice, ..
2. The salutation, among officers in unifim+ @ll Be
made by touching the cap or hat with the +$bt band,
kf-jthout inclination of the head or body ; out Of nniform,
by 1inrcWtriug the head. In this case, the inferior would

6. A non-commissioucd officer or soldier, being seated,
and without particular occupation, fill rise on the ap-
proach of an ofticcr, and make the customary salutation.
If standing, it woald be proper to turn tax-ards the officer
firr the same pulpoc.
7. If the parties remain in the same place, or on thk
same ground, such compliments would not, in general, be
rcpcated.
8. The furcgoiug cases suppose the inferior to be with-
out arms, or with sirlr?-arms only. With arms in hand,
the inferior would, in reporting, or on receiving orders
addressed to him, individually, bring the sword or fir*cIock
to a recover.

1. As these occupations impair, or derogate from the mi-
litary character, they arc to be strictly limited and watch-
ed ; and the designation or employment of men, not non-
effective, in the rauks, as standing or permanent clerks;
or the dcsignatioil of men as permancut mechanics, in
cases not expressly provided for, is positively prohibited.
2, If a soldier be recluircd to assist his first sergeant in
the clerical business of the company, to excuse him from
a tour of military duty, the captain will previously ob-
tain the sanction of his own commnndcr (if he has one
present) and, whether there be a superior prcscnt or not9
tile captain will hc responsible that the man so employed
does not miss two successive tours of guard duty by rea-
son of such employment.
3. A clerk, requiretl by a staff o&erg for occasional
office business, will bc selected, as far as practicable, with
the approbation of his captain ; or, if required by a gene-
ral staff ofEccr, with the approbation, in like manner, of
the commander next above the captain present.
4. Mechanics may be lalicved froin ordinary military
duty, to make, to alter, or to mend, soldiers necessaries;
but no soldier shall bc so relieved to work for the private
benefit of an off&r.
5. Captains will cause the men for whose benefit the
mechanics have done work, to pay for the same at the
next pay day, at the rate previously fixed by the council
of administration. See par. 6 and I 9. Art. 41.

captain as to the particular man selected. No other officer .
will be allowed to take a waiter Dam the line.

soldiers, as waiters, in the ordinary intervals of duty, will
not be considered as failing under or violating the 6th and
8th paragraphs of this article.
IO. Waiters will be exempted from all ordinary duties?
excepting one tour of guard duty per month; but their
employers will be responsible that they, and also company
clerks, fall into their respective companies at all drills,

1. At the first organization of a regiment or indepen-
dent battalion, the companies will be designated by letters

panies, according to the rank of the respective cajttains,
or, if the rank be not settled, by lottery-and the next
highest letters of the alphabet to the remaining companics,
on the same,principle.
2. Designations so given will be as permanent as the
regiment or independent battalion. A change in the rela-
tive rank of the captains will of course change the posi-
tions of the companies in the habitual order of battle,
whether the captains be present or not, but will not change
the letters of the companies.
3. When any, company, serving with the colours, cannot
be kept up to tl~e number of twenty-eight privates, the com-
mander will designate a recruiting party, and transfer the
remainder of the company to the other companies present.
In this case, the captain and the party designated and
sent on the recruiting service, would retain the letter of
the company, and the books and papers belonging to it-

ARTICLE 26.

1. At the head quarters of the regiment, the commander

alone will have the power to order an oficer into a state
of arrest, except for mutiny, or wilful disobedience of or-
ders, or for some other offencc expressly designated, as
in the 27th article of the rules and :u+ticIcs of war. Such
arrests Gil be promptly repurtcd to the commander for
his approbation.
2. An application for the arrest of an ollicer, however
formal, is not obligatory on the commander. He wiIl ex-
ercise a sound discretion on the subject. But, in all appli-
cations for redress of grievances inflicted by a superior,
it shall bc the duty of a commanding o&32, in case he
shall not deem it proper to order a court-martial, lo give,

essential part of his instruction. Those great scourges
of a camp life, the scurvy and diarrhea, more frequently
result from a want of skill in cooking, than from the bacl-
. ness of the ration, or from any other cause whatever,
Otlicers in command, and more immediately regimental
officers, will therefore give a strict attention to this vital
branch of interior ecanomy, with a view to which, as well
as to mukiply their resources in time of siege or scarcity,
they will do weIt to read the articles ~4Baking, and
(4Bread, in the diffwwt Encyclopaedias.
2. The colonel will frequently cause the quartermaster
or quartermaster sergeant to visit the bakery, and to in-
. qmct all the materials of which the soldiers bread is made.
It is also prudent to send occasionally a well qualified
man to watch over the process of kneading, to guard
against the mixing of cheap but deleterious substances
with the dough, as damaged flour, kc.
3. No quartermaster of rluai$crmaster sergeant can be
deemed instructed in his duties, until he has followed up,
once at least, the whole process of converting a barrel of
flour into good bread.
4. A barrel, or 196 gow~ds of flour, when in dough,
holds about 11 gallons, or 90 powds of water, B gallons
yeast, and s pounds salt, making a mass of 305 pounds,
which evaporafes in kneading, baking and cooling, about
40 pounds, leavin, v in bread weigbcd, when stale, about
265 pounds.
5, The weight and quality of bread will be frequently
and carefully verified. Its quality will be judged by co-
Iour, smell, and still more, by taste.
6. Bread ought not to be burflt, but baked to an e;lal
brown colour. The crust ought not to be detached from
the crum. On opening it, wbcn fresh, one ought to smell
R sweet and batsamic odaur.
7. In making biscuits or hard bread, the evaporation .
is about fifty-four 130unds,so that the barrel of flour yields
but one hundred and eighty-two pounds of biscuits. Dou-
hle baked bread loses, in like manner, about ninety-five
;o,~keis,and keeps much Ionger than that which is singly
8. he troops ought not to be alloyed to eat soft bread
fresh from the oven, without first toasting it. This pro-
m
 tiessing, Art. 27.
;oessrenders it nearly as wholesome and nutritious as staI43
bread.
9. Fresh meat ought not to be cooked before it has had
time to bleed and to cool; and meats will generally he
boiled, with a view to soup ; sometimes roasted or baked,
but never fried.
10. Fresh meat issued to the soldiers in advance, in hot
weather, may be preserved by half boiling it; or, if there
bc not time for that operation, the meat may be kept some
twenty-four hours, by previously exposing it, for a few
minutes, to a very thick smoke.
II. To make soup, put into the vessel at the rate of five
$nts of water to a pound of fresh meat ; apply a quick
heat, to make it boil promptly j skim off the foam, and
then moderate the fire; salt is tlu~ put in, according to
the palate. Add the vcgctablcs of the season one or two
hours, and sliced bread some minutes before the simmer-
ing is ended. V%en the broth is sensibly. reduced in
quantity, that is, after five or six hours cooking, the pro-
cess will be complete.
12. If a part of the meat is to be withdrawn before the
soup is fully made, the quantity of water will bc propor-
tioriably less. Hard or dry vegetables will be put in ear-
lier than is above indicntctl.
13, The choice of water for bread, soup, or for boiling
vegetables, is essential. As far as @acticable, limpid
water, without scent or peculiar taste, and which dissolves
soap freely, only will he used. River or rain water is
preferable to that of springs, wells or ponds, Ward or
dry vegetables, as pulse and rice, cannot be well cooked
in water that rests on, or passesover, calcareous earths.
14. Vinegar, particularly in hot weather, is essential to *
the soldiers mess. Great care will be taken to procure
that which is of a good quality; and the surgeons wilI.
frequently be consulted on the subject of this article, as
on every other interesting to the health of the troops,
15. Messes will be prepared by privates of squads, in-
cluding private musicialx, each taking his tour; and the
greatest care will be obserrcd in scourins and washing
the utensils employed ila cooking. Those made of brass
or copper will not be used? unless, in the case of coppery

I& The chiefs of squads, after peas on the trencher, will

cause the messes of their respective men on guard to be
set apart for them, until they are relieved, and send by
the cooks the soup, &c. which may be clue them after roust
beef. These attentions will never be omitted in cases not
provided for in par. 3, Art. 50, and par. 4, Art. 52.
17. The messes of prisoners will be sent to them in a
manner similar to the above.
18. The difference between bread and flour being about
334 per centum on flour, the troops will bake their own
bread as often as practicable, and the saving operated
thereby carried to the debit of the post or regimenta
fund. See par. 11 and 14 inclusive, Art. 4 2.

AIiTXCLE 28.

Dress-personal clea&ness and neatness.

1. The uniform of regiments is prescribed in Art, 65.
2. It is essential to cleanliness and health, that the sol-
diers should change their linen at least thrice a week in
midsummer, and twice a week, (on Sundays and Thurs-
days) during the remainder of the year. See par. 30,
Art. 25.
3. All the parts of the dress will be kept in a state of
the greatest neatness possible. Those which are of woollen
cloth will not be washed.
4. White woollen clothes will he cleaned in the follow-
ing manner :-extend the garment on a table; sprinkle it
with bran very dry, mixed with a little Spanish whiting;
rub them in we.11,and beat the gxrmcnt with a smooth roll
or mallet until the dust disappears, then brush it.
5. Spots of dirt and grease, or stains, will he taken out
by the application of pipe clay moistened with saliva from
an empty stomach. Scratch the place lightly, when it is
dry, and then beat it. IIf the spot remains, moisten it with
j a little soap and water, and then wash out the soap.

1. Buff or white leather will be cleaned as follows :

First method. Take several handfuls of bran, and boil it
in water, which afterwards draw off clear; make a paste
af pipe clay with this water,. and, when cold, apply it to
the buff. Seconcl. Take pipe clay and steep it a quarter
of an hour in pure water ; change the water, and dissolve
 J?cc0ztJrements,Art. 30. 49
8 sufficient quantity of soap in it. This mixture is recom-
mended for the cleaning of buff or white ICather. T&d.
Clean the buff with a brush dipped in clear water; leave
it to dry in the shade ; take white lead, steeped at least
twenty-four hours in pure water, (sevePa1times changed,
$0 deprive the lead of its corrosive quality,) and, by means
of a brush, put on as many coats of this whiting a$ may
he necessary, taking care to let each coat dry in the shade
before another is added. The whiting should be temper-
ed with water so as not to bc too liquid or too thick,
2. Cartouch boxes will be kept polished with varnish,
or blacking. The former is preferable, as the polisfl; it
gives wiIl last. several years, if protected by a cover, or 0
case, and occasionally aided by the application of a little
oil to the inside of the leather.
3. To make blacking, me.lt a pound of white bees wax,
and add to it about an ounce of gum arabic; pour a part
of tfle wax on an ounce of ivory black, and mix them well
together; place the wbolc m the fire; stir the composition
gently until it simmers, then strain and moutd it.
4. If white wax cannot be had, yellow may be substi-
tuted ; but in this case the quantity of gum arabic will be
nearly doubled; that is, something less than two ounces
will be necessary. When ivory black cannot be had, that
procured from grape vines may be substituted.
5. If the cartoucb box is new, the entire surface wil1 be
~crapcd, and afterwards rubbed smooth with putnice stone,
to receive the blacking, which wiIl be laid OH stron.$y
and equally, exposing each coat to a light blaze fro& a
few very dry straws, before another is applied, taking
care to warm the wax, and ijot the leather. Each coat of
blacking will be rubbed in with a polished bone, or some
dher hard smooth substance, and when the last coat is
quite even, polish it with a piece of fine, smooth cork ;
then, when cold, wipe the surface with linen, or fine cloth l

and fmdly, rub it lightly with the palm of the hand, to)
make it shine.
6. Old boxes, which are greasy, or which refuse a po-
lish, will be scraped with a knife, after exposing them to
a blaze, as above, when they will bc polished anew.

Preservation of dtrms,
1. Fire arms are very liable to be damaged, or rcnder-
cd unfit for service, under the operations of dismounting,
cleaning and remounting ; to guard against which, with
the exception of the flint-screw, not a screw nor a pipe
will be moved by the soldier, without express permission
from the proper authority ; and the non-commissioned
otEccrs of sqnads will be habitually charged with the care
of the screw-drivers, ball-screw, and other similar imple-
ments appertaining to the respective squads.
2. If there be an armourer present, he alone Will be en-
trusted to dismount, or take to pieces the lock, or to re-
mount it. A hand-vice will be necessary in this opera-
tion, and great care required in the compression of the
springs.
3. Anvil dust wall sifted through an old stocking, and
moistened with sweet oil, or emery, will be employed to
remove rust, and very soft wood for rubbing or polishing.
In cases of necessity, brick dust, sifted and moistened
w,vith oil, may be substituted for emery or anvil dust.
4. When the barrels of the arms are not brown, great
care will be taken, in rubbing them, to prevent bruising
or bending. The barrels ought never to be rubbed length-
wise, particularly without being laid flat on a board ox
table.
5. Brass mountings will be cleaned with fine brick dust
moistened with vinegar , and all the parts of the firelock
will be carefully wiped after cleaning.
6. The bore of the firelock will, at all times, except in
.exercise, be secured against the weather by means of a
tampion. After firings, it will be necessary to wash it out,
to wipe it dry, and then to pass a bit of cloth, slightly
greased, to the bottom.
7. In these operations, a rod of wood, with a loop in
one end, is to be preferred. The ramrod is never to be
employed if it can possibly ba avoided.
8. The soldier, to secure his fireIock against approach-
ing dew or rain, will carefully oil the metallic parts, wip-
 Preserwation of .&ms,Art. 31, $1

ing the oil off when the weather brightens. A rind of fresh
pork, without salt, may be well substituted in this opera-
tion for a cloth steeped in oil. See pap. 26, Art. 25.
9. Under the same circumstances, he will place the
lock cover or case, (made of leather) as a particular se-
curity for the lock.
IO. With a view to action, it is irnpoptant that the fix-
ture of the fliuts should be carefully examined. They will
be fixed with a view to e$ect, more than to uniformity;
thus, it may be frequently necessary to place the flat side
up, on account of the relative height of the cock and
hammer.
11. The thick end of the flint will always be enveloped
in a bit of sheet lead, (or a bullet hammered out,) cut to a
shape corresponding with the part of the cock which re-
ceives it. After being closely screwed, the cock ought to
bc let down gent,ly, to ascertain whether the edge of the
flint strikes fully and equally the surface of the 1~srnme.Y.
The lock will never be snupped without express permission.
The flint ought to strike at the distance of about a third
uf the length of the hammer from the top.
12. In firings, the soldier will frequently cast his eye
on the flint, and promptly correct any derangement whic.ch
may take place in its Gxture.
13. For exercise, each soldier will keep himself pro-
vided with a bit of wood as a substitute for a flint,
14. The following vicious prncticcs, connected with the
sabstancc of this article, are not to be permitted or tole-
rated -.-using the ramrod to turn the flint-screw ; heat-
ing the ramrod, under the prctence of enlarging its canal
in the lower part of the stork ; cWh-tg or filing any part
of the stock, under the pretencc of making the firelock
tell or resound 4ii~ exercise j putting oil on screws which
tet into zuood+in&ad of tallow; displacing the butt-plats
and the trigger-guard, -they ought to be clcancd on the
stock; polishing the barrel with the ramrod ; sticking the
bayonet, fixed or unfixed, into the ground j and finally,
all other similar practices which go to in,jure the firelock
or any of its parts.

ARTKLE 38.
Organimtion of Departfnents.
1. In order to embrace the reguh and militin forces of
the United States, in the service and pay of the general
govertiment, and with a view to the national defence, tltc
President of the United States will, from time to time, ar-
range or designate the limits of geographical commands
or departments, to correspond lvith the several military
frontiers and the distribution of the troops.
12.Besides the troops of the line se.rving therein, tliere
will be assigned to each commander of a department a
number of general staff o%cers, proportioned to circum-.
stances; but the ofliccrs of the coqs of engineers, of the
ordnance, and of the topogrsil,bical engineers, who may
be serving within such department, (and also detachments
of the United States marines,) and not assigned as above,
shall not be diverted from their ordinary or peculiar da-
 Orgunimation oflk~mrtments, Art. 38. 61
ties, except in some unforeseen case of public exigency,-
See par. 8. Art, 5.
3. The commandant of each department shall, if prac-
@able, (which practicability will always be presumed,
unless otherwise specially decided by superior authority)
make two circuits of inspection and review yearly, em-
bracing all the posts within his command, unless specially
permitted by the said aut.hority to substitute, in respect to
some of the posts, the inspector general, or some other
~~11qualified officer, having at least the rank of m3jor*
4. The first of these circuits will be made during the
three spring months, and the second during the three
months of autumn, the objects of which will be : to ascer-
tain, critically, the state of the several bodies of troop8
under the heads of discipline, police, instruction, service
and administration, within the command ; to ascertain
whether the several branches of the administrative deyart-
mcnts of the staff, under his command, be well executed ;
to poht out, on the spot, all defects or irregularities under
either of the above heads, and, in case the inspecting offi-
cer be superior in rank to the delinquent, to cause him to
he arrested, or (accordin g to the nature of the case) to
give such other orders as may be necessary to correct,
promptly, the defect or neglect observed.
5. If the inspecting ofker be junior to the commander
of the post or corps, where the tlelinquency, in any of
the foregoing cases, occurs, the commandant of the de-
partment will apply the proper remedy on receiving the
report of the particular inspection.
6. Other objects of these tours of inspection will be, to
make the commander of the department and the gpvern-
ment, well acquainizd with the frontier defences of the
command ; with the repairs which these may, from time
to time, require; the new works or posts which may be
necessary under probable contingencies ; the resources of
the neighbouring country in subsistence, forage, means af
transportation, &c. &c. ; and anally, with the communica-
tions and distances betwe.en proximate posts by land and
water.

understood, more particularly, the study or knowledge of
the ~WS, regulations and orders for the government of
the army, and the regulations of exercise for the diRerent
arms of service, as the cavalry, infantry, kc. The s&n-
tific instruction and general attainments of the superior

these regulations. 2d. P~racticalinshction; mode of, and

1I. The theoretical and practical instruction of both
officers and l troops will be exemplified to the inspecting
officer, in many particulars, by the prescribed reviews
and inspections, (see Art. 9 and 39,) and he may further
require the performance of any of the duties mentioned in
par. 1, Art, 17, and in fact, will generally require such
performance in respect to field trenches, abattis, gabions,
fascines, ovens and kitchens, (specimens of each may be
prepared before the arrival of the inspecting officer, per
company) and also in respect to tents, Theoretical in-
struction, understood as above, and which cannot be prac-
tically exemplified, as in the case of abattis, tents, 8~.
with convenience, may be put to the test by questions
raised for the purpose, touching any prescribed duty un-
der the laws, regrrlations, Bc. for the government of the
army or some particular corps thereof; as thus :-What
is the first duty of an officer commanding a grand guard
after taking up his post? (See par. 14. Art. 5%)-Com-
manding the escort of a convoy, and being attacke.d,-
what would be your dispositions for defence 2 (See Art. 56.)
Who are to abe considered prisoners of war ? (See par. 5.
Art. 60.) &c. &c. Indeed it is only by questions of this
kind, put to the younger officers promiscuously, that one
can be assured, in time of peace, that they have studied
those regulations, kc. Which are peculiarly applicable to
a state of war. But no superior ohicer shall thus be in-
terrogated by any Junior, although the latter may be the
particular inspecting uficer.
12. SaRvrcE. By this term will be understood ; 1st.
The distribzction of duty among the integral pwts, or
among the individuals of the same army or corps, as by

assignment of duty according to its nature, as among the

by a good system of responsibility for the several paying

13, In an extensive column, some of the rearmost di-
visions might, after the inspection of dress anrl general
appearance, be permitted to pile arms, awaiting the ap-
proach of the inspector. In this case, such divisions
would resume the position above supposed, before the mi-
nute inspection.
14. If the troops are to be mustered with a view to pay-
mont, it will he done after the inspection, when the in-
junction contqined in the latter part of par. 23. Art. 44,
will be strictly observed. The original or proof roll of
each company by which the muster is made, with the re-
marks and verifications in the hand writing of the inspec-
tor, will be the chyck on the duplicates or triplicates to he
made out by the captains for the signature of the muster-
ing officer.
15. The inspection of the troops ended, the field and
staff will next accompany the inspector to the hospital,
magazine, arsenal, quarters, sutlers shop, &c. &c. The
captains and subalterns will precede him in his visits to
their companies and sections respectively.
16. The hospital is at all times an object of the most
particular interest, No neglect or defect, under this
head, will be overlooked or tolerated.
17. The surgeon will show the inspector the wards, the
patients, bunks, dispensary, kitchen, &c. &c. The whole
will be carefully inspected.
IS. On entering the company-quarters, the inspector
will be received by the men arranged around their cltam-
hers, standing. At the WONT-ATTEXTION, given by the
non-commissioned officer of the quad, the men, if in uni-
form, will compliment the inspector by the hand salute;
if not in uniform, by taking off forage caps,
19. The inspector will examine the S;cueral arrange-
ment of the interior; the bunks and bedding; cooking and
table utensils, &c. hc.; and afterwards the exterior neat-
ness of the quai%ers.
20. The aqjutant will cause the sergeant major to es-
hibit to the inspector the regimental office, or books and
papers. In like manner, each captain will cause those of
the coml~any to be exhibited to the inspector whilst he is
making the tour of the quarters.
21. In the inspection of the quarters, &c, as well as in

ly ; aud tbc surgeor~ will make a thorough inspection of
his hospital, &c. every Sunday morning.
25. Besides those inspections, daily visits will be made
to the quarters of their men, or patients, by the ofllcers
mentioned in the preccdhg paragraph respectively ; and
the colonel, or other commander, will make frequent ge-

the accoutrements suspended over the firelocks ; swords
bung by the belts, on pegs.
5. The knapsack of each man will be placed on the
lower shelf, at thefoot of his bunk, ready to be slung and
charged with his effects, excepting such as are habitually
in use. The latter will be arranged and placed as fol-
lows : The great coat, rolled and strapped, on the same

ccmqicuous place, in the suCleis shop or stall, fiw the in-
formation of all cOuxwed. The prices, so limited, shall
not be exc:eedt:d: neither shall the sutfer make any &ET-
encc, as to price, hetwcen the officcrv and enlisted men,
either on ix& or creclit sates.
16. The sutler shall not CM.M any enlisted soldier, with-
in the same month, (as January, February, kc.) to art
amount exceeding one half of his monthly pay, without
the express sanction, in writing, OF the mans company
commander ; neither shall he sell, or give, to any enlisted
soldier, even the smallest quantity of distilled, vinous, or
fermented liquor, without such sanction.
17. The consideration pyablc under par. 6, being a
highly valuable one., the commanding o&er will lend his
authority, as often as may be necessary, to protect, with-
in his local command, the exclusive pri\4epc so purchaser1
by the sutler; and no further tax or burden, in auy shape,
Beyond what is herein authorized, wilf be imposed on him.
Accordingly, if there be a suitable spar buiTldin$ at the
post, it shall be freely accorded to the sutler. If there be
no such house, he tvill be freely alloit-et1 to erect one suit-
able to his purposes,
18. fn consideration of the premises, it is 1?1so proper
that every facility should be affbr~lcd to I,IR sutkr, in the
collection of the jllst debts contracted to him, within the
limitations of this nrticlc. Accnrclin$y, the paymaster,
when about to make payments to the troops, will always
notify the sutler, in or&r that hc may take his place at
the pay-table with his books or accounts ; and, at ?~a,&
one officer per company will be held hound to attend the
pay-table, if practicable, on a like jmtice from the pay-
master.
19. If the soldier admits the amount demanded by the
&ler to be just, it will he handed to the latter as a mat..
ter of course by the paymaster, and deducted from the
pay of the soldier, If the account be disputed, the sutkr
shaII he required to produce the due bill, or written a-c-
knowledgment of the soldier, duly attested, which shalI be
auacient, as to the fhen settlement. But the company 0FL

cer and paymaster will be required to see that the Stop-
pages on account of government be first made ; next, the
just accounts of laundresses presented and resting on eqnd
evidence to that required in the case of the sntk (see
par. 10, Art. 28.) The accounts of tailors, kc. (see par.
5, Art. 25,) would follow those of the sutler.
20. The foregoing stoppages, except those or): WMnM
of government, need not be noted on the pay and receipt
rolls; it will be sufficient that the soldier gives to the pay-
master a receipt iu full ; that his creditors, ahavemention-
ed, be satisfied ; that he receives a proper acquittance on
account of those payments, and that he receives the ba-
lance, if any, of his pay : the whole settlement being made
openly and under the guardianship of his ollicer,
21. If the troops be removed, or a part of them detach-
ed from the post, leaving unsatisfied debts due to the sut-
ler, he, or his agent, shall, on demand, be admitted to the
pay-table at the next settlement with all such men, an?
with the same rights, kc. as in par. 18 and 19.
22. If an individual leaves the post on furlough ar on
command, the commanding officer of his company will
note on the descriptive roll the amount demanded by, and .
which may appear to be due to, the sutler, in order that
the same may be stopped by the paymaster making the
next payment, in case the soldier should be settIed with
whilst absent from the post. In such case the paymaster
shall make the stoppage and transmit the amount to the
sutler.
93. In the case of the death or desertion of any enlist-
cd soldier, at the time a debtor to the sutler, the latter
would submit his demand to the council of administra-
tion ;-whose duty it shall be, in every such &se, to re-
ceive and audit the account, and if satisfied, on unequi-
vocal evidence, that the debt was justly due, at the time
of the death, or desertion, the said couni;il shall certifx
accordingly.
24. Such accounts, so certified, and made out by coti-
pmy, and transmitted by the sutier to the paymastqe ge.
neral, shall entitle him to receive from the Iattep th
amount ascertained, out of any arrears due t& :.&Q~de-

t?re ordinary process of administrationin a civil couri,
25. If the troops at the post consist of detached corn-
panics, and the companies are about to be separated,
that is, one or more to be removed to another post and
one or more to remain, it shall be the duty of the tom-
mander, previously, to call a council of administration,
to make an equitable distribution of the post fund re-
maining unexpended. In this casedbe would detaif senior
officers to composethe council, so that its members might
Fairly represent the whole.
26. If all the companies are to be detached, and to rfi -
fere?tt posts, a similar course would be pursued, not onIfy
in respect to the post fund unexpended, but also a.sto the
objects purchased out of the fund ; as the library, instru-
ments of music, and the like.
27. In this article mention has heretofore only been
made, of the connexion between sutlers awl troops serv-
ing at posts, whether in regiment, dctacbed companies, or
parts of companies. But it is also necessary to provide
for the connexion of a sutler with a re,Riment,whilst the
latter is on marches in the interior, or during a campaign,
or whilst on board transports.
28. Accordingly, a sutler appointed to a regiment would
be permitted to follow its bead quarters, generally, under
any of the circumstances above supposed ; to all of which
the provisions of this al+icle would be extended, substb
tuting m&ment (or regimental) for the word Gcpost, as
often as the latter occurs, except in par. 26 and 27, which
are not intended to apply to a regiment, under any cir+
cumstances. See Art. 5%

perintendence of an officer of' thC company.
3. Ten minutes after the preceding signal, a second will
be soj~ndcd,at which the first sergeants will conduct the
company details to the regimental parade, each detach-
ment for tile same guard taking post on the lef$ of that
which preceded it, (under the direction of the adjutant,)
in open order, arms shouldered and bayonets fixed. The
adjutant, as kc successively acce@s the detachments, will
dismiss the supernumerary men,under the conduct of the
respective first sergeants.
4. The guards are either organized on tbe regimental
(or garrison) parade, or, according to the nature of the
case, partly on that, and partly on the grand parade. In
the latter case,_the senior officer of the details, or guards
furnished by each regiment, and intended for the grand
parade, will conduct them j+am the regimental parade, On
arriving at the grand parade, each detachment will take
post in the order above prescribed, nuder the direction of
the staff officer from head quarters, or his assistant, the
adjdant of the day.
5. The acijzctantof the L& will accompany the details of
his regiment to the grand parade, and will be replaced on
his own parade by the second olIicer of the new police
guard, if there be two; by the commander, if there be but
one; and if there be no o%cer of that guard, by the ser-
geant mqjor. The regiment that furnishes the adjutanto~

1. Every guard will be aupcrintcnded by the &Ecer O$
the duy under whom it mounts, who wiIl visit the guard
and its sentinels once before aujiset, and again between
midnight and day-btcak, and as much oftener as may be
necessary, or may be required. With a view to this su-
pcrintentlancev the o$;cer @Ihe day will. dwgs calI at the
proper head quarks for new instructions immediately
before guard mounting, and he will give particular instruc-
tipns to the commanders of the guards under him, where
ho may probably be found at atly time during the twenty-
fQUSLo1ars.

2. Habitually, guards will bc relieved daily, and senti-
mls every two ttours. Each guard wilt be divided into
ttwce or more reliefs, according to its stren+g$h, or the
number of scntinela to be furnished ; and the service equal&
ized among tfie reliefs according to the principle, the long-
est off post, the cfirst on.
3. In freezing weather, and aLvo near the enemy, Hen-
tinels may be relicvcrf hourly, or oftrncr. Frepmt IT-

Ii& will serve the purpose of patrols, and also to keep

the men ntorc on their fect, and on the alert, when near
t ho enemy.
4. The commander of the guard, as soon after arriving
at his post <a23 practicable, will cilI~sc a roll to be made of
the guard, by relieEs, and, in detaching a relief, will dc-
&gnate the post that eitclt senGnc1 is to occupy, which
posts will be numbered. 'fikc KIfJSt shx.dp and experienced
will be placed OYWthe WLIIS, (that is, at the body of the
guard) and at the remote poitlts; the others in the inter-
mediate or ncighbouring posts, so that thtry may bc x1~0rc
under the instructions of the ofKccrs, kc.
5. No sentinel u.iH be pt~stcd so distant as not to least
the guard the power of hcaritig him, either directly, or
through the intertnpdiate sentinels.
6. Heforc a relief marchis, it will bc prtscnted to the
cominandcr 0T tlkc guard, who will ass11rchimself that the
arms are x-e11loaded atIt1 prinrrrl , and the Airlts well fixcvl.
These precautions will bc particulntaiy attended to drtrittg
the night, and, if near th mm-f, itr tire day time also.
7. A guard will turn out under arn~s for inspection and
xvdl-call as often as a rclicf is dctachcrl, and remain forrn-
ed until the old relief returns.
8. The T&e co?+pornlwill, on returning to the pard!,
present the olc$ scntincls to the corntnander, and render an
account of every tfling tnntrriat tltat has occmwd dtttktg
the relief. A similar conrsc will be observed by the corn--
mandcr of a patrol.
9. A scntincl on post will always keep himself very S
much on the alert, obscr~in~ every thing that takes pllrtcc:
within the reach of his sight or hearing, He will never
quit his armsp but move about briskly on the walk assign-
ed him, and occupy himself solcly with his duties, without
noise, and without speaking, except when necessary.

22. 4 he commnnder of the guard will, in person, occa-
sionally visit his sentinels during the tw&y-four hours,
and between the reliefft they will generally be visited by
a patrol, ransisting of au officer, if there be two on the
guard, otherwise a nori-cotnmissioned officer; and, in ei-
ther case, a file of men; to make the sentinels repeat their
instructions; to correct the in&rurtions, if they be defec-
tive; to inform the sentinels under what circumstances
and at what sipats they are. to retire on the guard; and
finally, to place or displace them, as may be decided by
the commander of the guard,
23. Xmmediately after retreat, the commanrler of the
guai*d will give out the countrkgn, 6x. to the sentinels
on post; and if there be some smaller grard de.tachcd
from, or dependent on? his own, hr: will send the countcr-

any person to approach nearer than the point of his bay-
onet until he has received the countersign, @acing himself
. in the position of chuqe bnyoxet for that pu~pos.e.

27. Wllen the uficer of the day wishes tp make his
grand rounds, he will repair to the body of the guard,
grve the parole to the oficer commanding it, assure him-
self of the presence and condition of the men, and demand
an escort proportioned to circumstances ;-generally, a
non-commissioned nfIicer and a file of men.
~3. Grand rounds will also be made by general officers
and oEccrs commandin g corps or garrisons, when they
shall judge prol~r, or a staff officer may be detached from
head quarters for that Imrposc ; but such persons will be
careful to notify tile ~JCW of t/heday of all material in-
structions which they may find it necessary to give to a

;rlI matcri:rl instruction53 given to sentinels on post by ))er-
sons sntitied to make grand rounds, ought to be promptly
notified to the c.ommanrler of the guard.
29. On tbc approach of the new guard, the old will take
u position the most convenient for the ceremony of rdiev-
ing. Guards under twelve men, or six files, wil1 be form-
rd in one rank ; of or above that number, in two ranks.
XL The new guard will take the position in relieving
which may be designated by the senior of tbc two com-
man&s ; but, near the enemy, such position shall II&
pl~e tht: two guards front to front, nor the rear of either
towards the enemy. For the comyiiments to be paid on
this occasion, see par. 6, Art. S.

sergeant, to take possession of the guard-house or tent,
and its furniture, also, otller i1l%iCICS (Or prisoners, as in
the case of a police guard) in the charge of the guard.
33, The new posf corpornl, (accompanied by the old)
will note any ?zew iujwy which may have been commit-
ted, and point it out to the new commander, on whose re-
port the relieved commander will be held responsible,
34. The commander of the old guard will have prepared
for the signature of the commar&z who relieves him, an
inventory of the property or articles in tbe charge of the
guard, also a roll of the prisoners in its custody,
35. The first relief having been designated, the corn-
rnander of the new guard will order it two paces to the
front, when the new reliefcoqmral will take charge of it,
and go to relieve the sentinels in the order hereinafter
prescribed, accompanied by the reli$corporal of the old
guard, who wil1 take command of the old sentinels when
tile whole are relieved.
36. A corporal commancling a small guard may call to
his aid, in performing the foregoing duties, a lance-cor-
poral, if there be one under him, or WI old soldier; and
any commander of a guard may,, when the sentinels are
numerous, designate more than one relief corporal, or or-
der a sergeant to take charge of a relief.
37. During the time of relieving sentinels, and of caIll-
ing in the small posts, the commandants of the two guards
will, near the enemy, visit together the avenues leading to
the post, the old commander giving to the new all the in-
formation he may possess relative thereto, or relative to
the enemy.
38. The detachments and sentinels from the old guard
having rqjoined it, it will take up its march, the drums,
&c. of both guards beating a march, unless music be pro-
hibited at the outposts, on account of the nearness of the
enemy.

the general and particular instructions for his post, if
there be such in writing; next visit his scntitds to atscer-

I. As the troops arrive at the appointed rendezvous,
t the general in chief will cause them to be organized into
brigades, divisions and army corps.
8. Two regiments will constitute a brigade; two bri-
gades a division ; and two divisions an army corps ; each
of which will be placed under the orders of a genera! of%
cer of appropriate rank.
3. The cavalry and infantry will each be brigaded by
itself, and more than two regiments, if much below the
legal establishment, may be thrown into the same bri-
gade.
4. There will be attached, as chief of the ~tct.~ to a
brigade, a major; to a division, a colonel ; to an army
corps, a brigadier general; and, if the particular army
consists of two or more army corps, a major general will
be attached to it as chief of the staff.
5. Accidental or temporary vacancies which occur in
the command of an army, an army corps, division, or
brigade, will immediately devolve on the next in rank
therein, respectively, until the decision of the WTar De-
partment can be made known ; but, if there be present
with the army a supernumerary general officer of the ap-
propriate grade, ke may be assigned to the vacancy that
has occurred by the general in chief, without reference to
the War Department.
6. The brigades, divisions and army corps will bo
numbered according to the rank of their Grst, or original*
commanders, which numbers will fix their rank, respec-
tively, in the order of battle. Nevertheless, in reports of
battles, and other operations in the face of an enemy,
those bodies of troops, as well as regiments, will be ds-
signatod by the names of the officers who actually CODI-

1I. The order of the wgiments in brigades, of brigades
in divisions, of divisions in army corps, and of army

19. These determinations will bc. announced in orders,
but may he varied according to circumstancxx. Xn ponfe,
mounted orderlies will follow the generals or chiefs of
staffs to whom they respectively appertain, and will per-
form at once the service of orderlies and of escorts.
Those on foot will march at the head of the divisions, or
brigades, of the generals or chiefs of staff3 to whom they
appertain.
20. All orderlies will be inspected before sent to their
destinations. If not conducted by an officer, each Will
take with him a billet from the adjutant, showing the pe-
riod of setting out for his destination.
21. A Iike rule will be observed in the discharge of or-
derlies, (an oflicer of the staff signing the billets) and
again, when one of tbcm is sent with some despatch, he
~:ill take with him a similar billet, with instructions to
ask the officer to whom he is sent, to acknowledge the re-

on the billet.
~2. The generals of divisions and of brigades will as-
sure themselves of the execution of the regulations of dis-

the troops under them, Each major general, accompa-
nied by the respective brigadier9 and colonels, will pcr-
sormlly inspect, in detail, each company of the division,
after reviewing the corps composing it. Each brigadier
general will act similarly at the moment of receiving his
brigade ; again, when about to open the campaign, or re-
sume active operations, after atly considerable repose or
suspension, and in general, as often as the g;ood of the
service may require. The inspecting genera1 will canse
a staff officer, and each captain (for his company) to note
down, on the spot, the rqairs to be made, and the defects
to be remedied, without delay, or as soon as circnmstances
will permit; and he will designatx the men and horses to
be left in depbt, or to march with the baggage train, on
account of debility or lameness. See Art. 9 and 3% And

Theory of the Sta#-&mmnry of its &&es.
1. skiif officers, as such, have no direct comlnand over
the hops: they are the organs through which their re-
spective c.ammanders or chiefs communicate orders and
instructions, either verbally or in writing ; and a skdff
dicer will add, 6 by order of, or 44by ctrmmand of,
such n one ; or premise, c41 am commanded, or, instruct-
ed by, such a one j or, cLthe general, &c. commands, or
orders, leaving the particular general, kc. to be under-
stand. These forms will not be indispensable in cases in
which the person to wlmm the order is addreseed is infe..
rior to the staff officer, and the-y may always be dispensed
with in mere matters of course, as on parades.
2. The foregoing is applicable to chiefs of sta& and to
their assistants, (see par. 4. Art. 44.) also to aides-de-
camp and adjutants. The o%icersof the administrative
or disbursing departments of the staff, Q.Smch, are not
within the contemplation of this article. See Art, 66, 67%
68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73.
3. The several chiefs of staffs will form a chain of sub:
ordination among themselves. Thus, the colonel who oc-
cupies that station in a division will have a direct authori-
ty over a major, chief of one of the brigade staff2, in
the same division, independent of the commander of tbe
&vision ; hat should, in this example, the colon&give aq
order to the maja 1, incompatible with the duties of the
latter towards his brigade,, SUCKorder would not be O&J-
e;d, until communicated to the brigadier general for his
approbation. The same ru!c will apply, equally, to any
two proximate chiefs of staffs, from the rn%jor gel~a& at
general liead quarters, dawn to the +tljuta!lf Of a regi-
. @mlt.

Camps and cantonments.
1. By the term camp, will be understood the ground
on which troops, in the field, establish themselves, with
a view to repose, for a night or a longer time, whether
under canvas, or in bi~ouuc, that is, without shelter, or
with such shelter only as they may hastily construct, as
sheds, bowers and the like. Troops are said to he can-
toned, or in cuntunmeds, when distributed, at any time,
among the villages or houses of the country, or when
placed in huts constructed for the purpose, as at the end
of a campaign. Barraclcs are permanent military quarters,
2. Camping parties will consist of the pioneers, (or a
private per company) under the quartermaster, or quar-
termaster sergeant of each regime& who will be sent in
advance to prqare the camp, under the directions of the
chief of the staff, or one of his assistants, and it may be
aided by an engineer oE&er. The latter will be more
particularly charged with the reconmissunce of the ground,
with a view to the works, intrenchments and commu-
nications which it may be proper; to construct, or to open,
When necessary, an escort will be ordered, to protect the
foregoing operations. Officers spare or led horses, and
their servants9 will not be allowed to accompany these
partics.
3. Guides of the country will ac.company camping par-
ties, when necessary, and the cavalry o@cers and non-
commissioned officers of these parties will reconnoitre the
watering phccs about the new camp: cattse those to be
 Camps ad cantonment& Art, 47. 93
opened that may require it, and designate such as are dan-
gerous.
4. The object of the camp will determine the choice,
and the form of it. If it is simply a camp of rest, on a
march, the dryness of the soil, and the proximity of wood
and water, need only be considered. If it is to be in-
trenched, if it is to cover a country or a siege, if the ob-
ject be to give the enemy an /exaggerated notion of the
strength of the army, the camp will be chosen and esta-
blished accordingly.
5. The general oficers will establish the troops as they
come up, with as little, delay as possible, particularly after
long and,fatiguing marches or operations. Immediately
after arriving on ,the ground, orders will be given, per:
sonally, by the brigadier generals to the colonels, and by
the latter to the field oflicers and captains, determining the
number of men to be furnished for piquets and guards;
the hours at which they are to assemble; the posts to be
occupied by them; the orderlies to be furnished, or to be
relieved, kc.; the places of distributions (of subsistence,
wood, straw, and the Iike ;) the fatigues to be sent for
them ; the communications and the intrenchments to be
opened ; the works to be constructed ; and, in general, any
thing else that concerns the interior and exterior police
or service of the camp. The captains will add aloud such
instructions as may be necessary for their respective sub-
altcrns and non-commissioned officers, and as soon as the
adjutants have determined the number of men to be fur-
nished by the several companies, in their respective regi-
ments, the first sergeants will cause those to step out who q
are to go immediately on post, or on duty.
6. When the police and other guards are ordered out,
the colours will be planted, and the arms stacked, in a line
between them, (the weather and the ground permittingj)
afterwards the ranks wili be broken, and the tents pitched
on the ground indicated by the quartermasters and quaC
termaster sergeants. In the cavalry, before pitching the
tents, the piquets and the cords will be placed, and the
horses attached thereto.
7. Until these duties are completed, the officers will not
be permitted to leave the troops, or to employ afiysola?er
for their own accommodation.

wards. The interval betwee tllo ravages, (or the com-
pany street,) will thus be ~)cr])~~l~~liculal~to tire front of
the camp. The tents in tbc same range will be placed one I
pace apart, and the intervals betcvccn contiguous compa-
nies will be two paces. Each flank company will thus
have a range of tents isolated. See plate No. I.
11. The stacks of arms will be ten paces in front of the
tents ; the ctrlours in the same line, opposite tbo centre of
the regiment, and tbc kitcbcns txcnty paces behind the
tents.
12. The sergeant majors, qnnrtrrmaster sergeants,
trumpet, or drum majors, the sutlers and laundresses, will
encamp on the same line, fifteen paces in the rear of the
kitchens j the company.oihcers on the same line, fifteen
paces in rear of the preceding ; the field oficers and com-
missioned staff, on the same line, fifteen paces further to
the rear ; and tbc wagon or baggage train, on the same
line, twenty-five paces in tbc rear of the field officers.

14. If the army is in two lines; the second will encamp
four hundred paces in rear of the first.
15. Each squadron, or two troops of cavalry, will en-.

horses of the respective troo@ will bc placed, iy! two ranks,
(crupper to crupper,) the piquets being planted two paces
from the range of tents on either side. There will, be a
space between every two tents, in the same ranse, of five
paces, for forage, and ten paces between the last two tents
in each range, in order that there be not forage on the
side of the kitchens. See plate No. II.
16, A camp established as above, and according to the
annexed plates, ++will serve as a model for others, in cases
where the ground, or particular instructions from head
quarters, may render variations necessary. In campaign,
cords can be but seldom used in tracing camps. On actual
service, distances wilI ba generally determined by the eye
and the less.
17. The staff officer charged with the establishment of
the camp, Will designate the yositions to be occupied by
the shambles, and will require that the entrails of the cat-
tle slaughtered be buried, For this fatigue, and that of
the sinks, convicts will be employed as often as the gtards
can furnish them.
18, Fires will be permitted in the kitchens onIy, except
in seasons of rigour. In the latter case, the places for
building additional fires will be designated.
19. No oEcer will be allowed to occtq~y il vacant house,.
even on the ground of his camp, without express permis-
sion from br$adc or division head quarters, as the neEg$-
bouring buildings may be required for the sick.

l Z?escPipttonof Rate NO. 111 The encampment i6 composed of four

separate camps, A, 3, C, I), whose fronts are parallel to that of the in-
fantry or cavalry behmd which they are placed. The two camps, A, B,
distant about 71 yards, are formed as in the cavalry, and in depth about
45 yards. The space pf 71 yards between the two camps, is for receiv-
ing the carriages, (say 27,) ranged in three ranks, as laid down in the
plate. At about IS+ yards from the rear of the carriages, and perpen-
dicular to the central line of the camp, the two camps, C, I), will be es-
tablished. In .the rear of these two last camps is the line of tents for
officers ; and behind them the sinks. The three separate camps, A,& C,
are for the train-respective to the three rows of carriages. The camp
D, is for the mounted cannon&s. This form will be cammon to a divi.
sion of horse and of foot artillery. For the latter, the street in D, and
perhaps in C, might be diminished.

centres of their commands ; the brigadicrs very near their
brigades ; the commanders of divisions and army corps on
the grand communications between the corps. V%en the

21, Near an enemy, as soon after the troops are esta-
blished in camp, or cantonments, as practicable, the SW
prior ofhers, whether of the line or of the staff, will take
opportunities of reconnoitrin, w the immediate environs, and ,
of learning the names of the principal objects therein ; as
roads, rivers, bridges, fords, houses, woods, and the like.
The generals, with portions of their staf&, will push their
observations to a greater distance.

Orders; mode af publlicatiim,
1. Verbal orders, addressed to officers, will he trans-
mitted by officers, and preferably by staffofftccrs, Written
orders may be transmitted by orderlies. Tn this case, the
orders would, in general, be sealed.
,R. Orders may bc written in the form of letters; but, in
general, they will take the form of orders purely military.
They will always be transmitted through the interilcdiate
commanders, in the arder of rank, except in some extra-
ordinary case, when collies, or notice of their nature, will
be promptly sent to the oticcr omitted, by the officer who
made the omission.
3. Orders for corps9 after orderly hours, n-ill be sent to
them, and if the titular commander of the particular corl~s
(as brigadier for a brigade, colonel for a regiment, and
the like,) be absent, the order will bc received and put in
execution by the next in command, present with the COQS;
that is, by the actual commander,
4. All orders will be numbered; those of a general na-
ture in one series, and special orders in a different one.
Each series for the army9 RH army corps, a division, or
brigade, will commence with its organization, and termi-
nate with the campaign. Eor departments, zegiments,
companies, and garrisons, the series will commence and
terminate with the year,

6, Special orders are such as relate to the march of
some particular corps ; to the establishment of some yar-
tic&r post; to the detaching of individuals ; to the grant-
ing of requests j and, in general, to such other matters as
do not interest or affect the troops generally, under the
orders of him who gives the orders ; ;knd, therefore, spe-

8, An inferior commander, to Whom OPdCrsarc address-
cd, will add to them such dispositions as may be decm-
ed necessary to ensure their execution in his particuIar
COPpS.
g. There will be established, for each load quarters, an ,
orderly hour. That for the bead quarters of an army
corps will ff~i,llowtbc orderly hour at general head quar-
ters, and So of the other corps in the order of inferiority.
rllhc cllief of the staff of an army corps will send one of
Xlis &jistartts to general bead qual~tcrs at the hour ap-
poillte(j, to copy orders, and a similar m&hod will be pur-
Sued by the chiefs of staffs in the divisions. The cl&f of
a brigade staff will go in person to diGsion head quar-
ters,) at the orderly hour of the division ; or the brigadier
general may sd.xtitute an aid-dc-camp. Sn like manner,
an adjutant will repair to the head q~n4rtersof his brigade,
or, by permission, he may substitute his sergeant major.
Finally, at regimental head quarters, the adjutant wilI
clictatc the orders to the first scrgcants.
10. When orders, which may require the immediate at-
tcntion of the captains, reach regimental head quarters
after the orderly hour, they will be published as aboVc,
the$rst sergeants cull being sounded for that purpose.
11. Orders which relate to the duties of the administra-
tive and medical departments of the staff, will either bc
sent to their rcspcctive chiefs, or the latter may be rc-
quired to send for them, as the respective generals may
regulate. The same rule will be observed in respect to
the two commandants in chief of the engineers and artil-
Iery.
1% An adjutant or other officer of a battalion, or com-
pany of artillery, serving with an army corps, division,
6~. will be required to attend at the reg;ularLorderly hours
appointed for the corps. During marches and active ape-
rations, when the regular orderly hours cannot bc observ-
cd, all orders will be specially published, that is, they will
be either sent to the corpS, or their respective commanders
will be notified when to send ta head quarters for themt
 Orders ; lnzode of pztblication, Art, BS. 99
Under the same circumstances, orders will be read to the
troops during any halt, without waiting for the regular
evening parades.
13. Certain orders ought to be read more than once to
the same troops. When this is thought necessary, the or-
ders will carry with them a direction to this effect : 6 The
foregoing will be read, or read and explained, at the head
of every company in tbe -. 99
14. In transcribing orders, great care will be taken to
avoid errors, which may affect their meaning or intention;
The chiefs of staffs, in dictating orders, ~111 look, to this
object; and the commandants of regimental parades will
be responsible that orders are correctly read to the troops
by the adjutants. Captains will be equally responsible
for the correctness with which orders are read at the
beads of companies.
15. OtIicers who go up to take orders, will always re-
quest leave to correct tbcir watches by the time at head
quarters. This rule will be observed throughout all the
corps of the army.
16. The chief of tbe general staff will address to the
Secretary of War, monthly, extracts of all the more im-
portant general orders issued from his bureau during the
preceding month.
17. In peace, and in war*, a co*eater&~71will be given
daily, to enable guards and sentinels to distinguish per-
sons, and to execute the police regulations during the
night. For officers (and not nonecommissioncd ofbcers)
commanding guards, a second word, denominated parole
will bc given, at the same time, as a check on the former,
and by which, visits of inspection, or g~*~~zd romds, will
be received in the night. Near an enemy, a third, or
watcl~~~ord, may be added, to enable the troops to know
each other, and to rally, in night encounters.
18. These three words, parole, countersigit, and watch-
word, will always emanate from the highest in corn:
mand ; the name of a departed worthy will be preferred
for the first ; that of a place for the second ; and for the
third, some noun which is not a proper name ; as thus :

BRIGdlBE ROSTX!RS.
Brigade rosters are usually made from the weekly states of regiments,
taking the number of each from the column of present fit for duty ; but
sometimes the sick only are deducted from the whole effective number.
This strength (so obtained) being divided by the total amount of the
daily duties {rank and file) gives the number of efficient {or open) places
which such regiment is to have in the brigade roster ; and the remain-
der, after such division, is put as a memorandum against the regiment,
to be added to its duty strength in the next roster.
1. Suppose three regiments in a brigade : that the strength of B. is
to M. and J+ united, as 12 to 17, and that the strength of J. to that of
M. is as 8 to 9, (the case here at present) the roster for 29 days stands
thus : (B. furnishing the first guard, M. the second, Z-X.)

Where it is thought not advisable that one regiment should mount

two days successively, the roster may be made thus :

/ (-/t/~/I/~I-/U/ulIl~l~l~l
L
 106 Yht?liostu.
2. The folIowing are sketches of the weekIy state and roster of a brigade, where
the daily duty amounts to 175 men :-

3. But if the duty should be so light that it would be a consideral)Ie

time in coming round again, and that material alterations might t&e
place in the regimenrs before the whole roster would be gone through,
the number of places which f:& to each regiment may be divided by 2
-3-5-8, 0s my other iigure, (dividing every strength by the same>
and the remainders added to the fbrmer surplus insufficient for a gtlard+
kept as b&w for the next roster. Thus in a brigade of the same stl*englh
as the above, supposing the daily duty to consist but of 30 men, the efi-
Cient places of the regiments in the roster would be, for the first regi-
ment 1% and 6 remaieiug-for the second regiment 14, and 8 remai~ling
-and for the third regiment 20, and 12 remaining; which wouh!%rewake
the roster above five weeks in going through. But by dividing ihc~e
mmhers by 4, (for example) we have for the first regiment 3 Places and
1 guayd above, which added to the 6 men left before, makes a su~glus
0f 36 toward the next roster :-for the second regiment also 3 places,
and 2 guards above, which added to the former remainder (8) make 8
surplus of 68, toward the next roster: and for tlie third regiment e%actI$
5 Places, with its former remainder of 12 men. The roster would t&zr&
stand lhus:-
..

I REGlXEXTs.

4. There ;P also a method, when regiments are greatly unequal, of

dividing their whole strengths by any number which will divide evel*y
one of them w+.ho\rt a remainder, and determinipg in this maanef tllc
 Th Rosfey. lo?
places which each is to Irave in the roster, \hGhXlt any reference to What
my be ihe duty to be done. Thus in the second of-the abore examples,
suppose the duty strength of the first regiment to be only 272;--the
second regiment 40~; and the third the same as is staled there. Then
by dividing each of these numbers by 68 (which will divide them all
without a remainder) the numbers of 4,6, and 9, will be ohtainecl; which
*nay be taken for the places of each regiahcnt in the intended roster.
qhis is a much more. elegant method than any other, but it cannot often
be done.
5. When the inequality of the regiments is very great, the strength of
ihe weakest of them may he taken to divide the rest. This rrgiment
will then have hut one place in the roster; and the remainder, after each
riivision being written above the streng\h of this weakest regiment, with
R line between them, will be a fraction of the whole daily duty, n-hich,
being reduced into numbers, will be the surplus of the regiment which
this division refers to. Thus, srrpposinF the st rengthS of the regiments
to be 112-484-and 680; the first regiment (helng the weakest) will
llave 1 place in the roster; the second will have 4 places, With a remsin-
dcr of 36;- that is, 36 (or 9) of the daily duty, which, supposing the
ii2 53
duty to consist of 80 men, mill give a ~11rplns of almost 26;--and the .
tlli<d regiment 6 places, with a remainder of 8, that is, 8 (or 1) of the
115 E
du tp-abou t 6 men.+
6. If any particuIar regiment or detachment sl~ould be too weak to
furnish a whole days duty of itself, it may (by the first method) have
+I place given to it m the roster, and the deficiency necessary to make up
the days duty must then be taken from the duly strength of some other
regiment, which will have the amount of this deficiency cledticted from
its str0@ before the roster is made, and will do duty (for itself) only
fi>r the remainder, supplying the other to the weak corps at: the proper
time. The surplus alone will somctinres do this, without tonching the
number ofefficient places, and it should always be taken into the account.
thus, let a brigade of the same strength as the second above-mentioned,
with a daily duty too equal to that stated there, (17.5 rank and file,)
have, attached lo it, a detachment of 120 men. This last Will then
have but 1 place in the roster, ant1 will he dcfkicnt of 55 men for a dys
tluty. These may be taken from the greatest surplus, that of the thu-d
regiment, which will then have a remainder of 32 only, to be carried to
the next roster. But if the detachment consisted of 50 men only, its
cleficiencp would amount to 125, which being deducted from the stroog-
est regiment, would reduce the places of that. regiment to 2; with a
surplus of 157 for another roster. ht cases of this sort may almost
almays be more convenienlly managed in practice by distributing the
sInal guards to such detachments, as equally as can be to the rest of ,
the duty. or every such detachment might furnish a daily quota to the

duty correctly by the following proportion:- As the whole duty strength

of the brigade is to the whole daily duty, SO wi!l be the strengthofan~
detachment of corps to the number of men which it should give daily.
This quota might then be deducted from the daily duty, and the remain.
der be applied to the other regiments as an entire duty, by any of the
preceding methods. Thus, supposing, as before, the brigade as first men.
tioncd, and a detachment of 120, and the daily duty to be also 175, the
whole strength will be-
First regiment, 396
Second regiment, 428
Third regiment, 1312
Detachment, 120
Total 1556 Men.

Then as 1556 (the whole strength) are to 175 (the whole duty) SO
will 120 (the detachment) be to 13& nearly, that is 13 men one day and
14 the next, the daily quota of the detachment. This, taken from 175,
will leave ISI+, as the duty to be done by the other corps (162 one day,
and 161 the next) and the roster will then be, by the second method,
thus:-

Tt is proper to observe, that the second of the above methods is that

which is generally used; and is the most convenient in practice. The
rest are improvements ; of which a common knowledge of the rules of
proportion, and a slight acquainstance with fractions, might suggest
many more .
 Police Guard, Art. 50. 109

AETICLE 50.

.Police Guad.

1. Police guards and their duties have heady been

noticed, necessarily or incidentally, under several of tlm
preceding articles. See 42, arld 43 generalIy ; par. 2 and
3, Art. 25 ; par. 2, Art. 33 ; par. 6 and 13, Art. 47; and
par. 6, Art. 49.
a. The police guard of each regiment (or post) will, in
future, take place of camp (or garrison) guards. Its force
will be sufficient to furnish the requisite sentinels around
the camp (or post,) together with those herein pnrticular-
ly mentioned, and $0 make the patrols which the localities
and other circumstances may render necessary. It will
be turned off from the rcgimcntal (or garrison) parade.
3. The o#cer of the duy will decide when the command*
er of the guard may permit his men, by reliefs, to eat their
meals with their companies, taking care that each relief
promptly r&urns. He will also decide whether the guard
shall detach from it one or more small posts or guards,
when the extent of the ground to be covered by the senti-
nels shall render such division necessary or conI-enient.
Each of these small posts will act in the manner prescrib-
ed for the main guard on which they depend.
4. Besides the sentinel placed over the arms at the body
of the guard; the sentinel over the prisoners; the one over
the colours; and the one at the tent or quarters of the co-
lonel; (which shall he posted at the tent or quarters of the
next in command, if the colonel lodges out of camp or
quarters) the guard will furnish otllers, to be posted on
the front and rear of the camp, and over the arms of the
regiment when they are stacked, or in bells-of-arms.
5, If the army is encamped in two lines, the regiments
of the first line will furnish the sentinels for all the front
of the camp9 and the regiments of the second line wiJl
furnish the sentinels for the rear+ The sentinels in the
rear will be posted twentp paces behind the baggage train.
See par. 12, Art, 47.
rY1
PI0 Police Gz~urd,Art. 50. ,
6. Regiments on the right and left of the camp wi8
place sentinels on their exterior flanks, for which aug-
mentation of their police guards tbcy will have credit ou
the b rigadc rosters.
7. The duties of the four first sentinels mentioned in
par. 4, and those of the sentinel over the arms, have al-
ready been particularly noticed under the references of
par. 1. The others forming tire chain about a cnnzp (or
post) will be instructed not to suffer any person, under the
rank of officer, to pass out witltont permission ; and during
the night, no person whatever (unless it be a relief, or
rounds, or a detachment headed by an officer) to pass in
or out except by the body of the guard, after being recog-
nised by the commander,
8. The uficer.q/ the day will cause patrols to be made
during tbe day, iI be judges it necessary, for the police of
the camp (or post.) Durin, (pthe night, tbesc patrols will
always be made (commencing immediately after retreat)
--to cause the fires of the kitchens to be extinguished at
the hour indicated ; to order out from the sutlers shops
the men who may be found there; and to arrest and com-
mit to the guard the men who may bc found out of their
tents (or quarters) after tnttou, unless they he going to, or
from, the sinks, or on some duty.
9, During retreat, the guard mill he nnder arms for
roll-call and inspection, and immediately after, the addi-
tional sentinels for the night will be posted. These will
be called in after the reweill6.
30. Besides the sentinels forming the chain, there may
be others posted (particularly in the night) more in ad-
vance, in such manner as to give prompt notice of the
approach of danger, or to correspond with the grand
guards, if there be such established.
11. When the assembly is beaten, preparatory to a.
march, the sentinels of the guard will be called in, and
the whole ordered to joi? their companies, excepting the
prisoners escort, and excepting also such part as may be
required to march with the camping party of the regi-.
ment, as its escort. See par. 2, Art. 47.

14. The o$;cer of tlTLcday, having added to tbc guard
Peport such remarks as circumstances required, noting
the visiks and rounds made by him, and at what hours,
Pee.&c., will hand OCR the report to head quarters.
These reports will also notice all incidents worthy of re-
mark, particularly instances of misconduct on the part of
.any individual of the guard.

MtTICLE 51,
The Pipet.
I. In camp, there will be detailed, daiIy, by rcgimcnt,
a piquet composed habitually of two subalterns, two ser-
geants, four corporals, a drummer, and a number of men
proportioned to the strength present; and on every otbcl
day, a captain will be added to this detail, so that one of
the regimental pirltlets in the SRJ~JC brigade may have an
oficer of that rank to command il. This regiment will
he the one that does not furnish tire a~jz&c~t of the day for
the grand parade.
8. The service of Ihe pique+ will begin and end at the
mine hour with that of the other guards. It will always
assemble on the regimental guard parade, on lhc Iclt, of
the police guard, and be inspected and turned off with tile
latter. In the cavalry, it will be mounted, and the horses
equipped.
3, The piquct having marched past the regimenfaI offi-
cer of the day, will return to the same parade, or mar&
to any other rallying post that may be assigned to it, and
be dismissed, with instructio& to re-assemble promptly

when called. The ceremony of relieving one I)$ r1et by
another, 2s in the case of other guards, will be dW?ensCd
with.
4. The piquet being dcstincd to furnish e&gar,l*C1in?ry
t3r unexpected detachments and guards called f~l* dL1rlng
the twenty-four hours of its sc~vice, the officers, 8x- qltrawrl
from it for such purposes, before the hour of TC~.IC=~~ wi1l
be immediately replaced. lhsc f11Ivis11cr1 atter ant*;;;;
need not be replaced, unless there be an expels I
given to that cffect.
5. The afL~s, &c. of a piquet, will, at alI tinleS+ be
ready to march, armed, clothed, and equipped at all @nts,
and will not leave the camp tluring the twenty-four hours
of their service, unless in one of tlie cases above prOidQd*
The regimental o$cer of the day will cnusc the picpct to
assemble fol: roll-call and inspection of arms, kc, SeVel'al
times during the day.
6. By means of these dispositions, which assuage the
presence of the men and their condition for prompt SW-
vice, it wiIl not be necessary, in the cavalry, to keep fhe
horses saddhl, without an esp~ss order to that eff&.
Tllc horsemen of the I)iquPt will pcrforin their stabls &I-
tics as usual, with this cliffercnce-they shaltl rcln3in
booted.
7. The piqucts in tlw cmalry will only assemble mnunt-
ed, by an express order to that eKect from the colorteE, the
q#icer of the day, or some general officer, For insyccI5on,
by either of those oflic~rs, it will ordinarily assclnble on
foot, with side-arms.
8. WhCn it is dcsigncd to assemble the piquet du~ix~g
the day, a signal wilkbe s~u~~rlcilby the drummer or trum-
peter of the police guard. Pf durilig the night (~llij:l~ fill
only take place in case of alarm, or when tbc pit~~cl, is t0
march in whole or in part) the nficer of the day, op tjte
adjutant, will wake up the oflicc~~s, t& latter the norl-
commissioned o&xrs, anr? these the men, The wtsok,
without no&c, will immediately form in the order ~,f battle,
ready to march.
9. Immediat4y after retreat, the piquet will BC 8gsem,

will retire to their tents. In the cavalry, the piquet will
ordinarily be on foot for this inspection.
10, The commander will note down the tents of the
officers and non-commissioned officers, and the latter the
mens tents, to the end that the whole piquet may be
promptly assembled, in case of need.
1I. If the piquets should be ordered to bivoztac, the co-
lonel would indicate the place. I[n this case, the horses
would be kept equipped.
I&. As often as the regiment is under arms, for reviews,
manox~vres, marches, or action, the piquet will be ordered
to rejoin its companies.

cantonment, and ought to occupy the qqroaches, or ave-
nuest leading to it.
2. The force and positions of the grand guards will be
regulated by the generals of brigades, subject, of course,
to the orders of their lineal snperiors ; each brigadier ge-
neral being held immediately responsible for the mainte-
nance of the .ground occupied by his brigade.
S. To the grand guards of infantry there will be, gent-
rally, attac.hed a portion of cavalry, as well with a view to
the common service of the posts, as also to communicate
prompt intelligence of the enemy in urgent cases.
4. Habitually, they will be composed (by brigade) of a
captain, two suhaltcrns, two sergeants, four corporalsa
two musicians, and a number of men proportioned to the
ob,jects in view, and the effective strerqgth of the regiments
present, and will mount with havresacks, 6x. charged for
twenty-four hours.
5. Besides the general superintendence which the gene-
rals of every grade, and their chic& of staffs, may give to
the grand guards furnished by their respcctivr: corpsr the
superintendence of them will be more eqecially confided
to a J.eld o~@erozfthe day for each brigade.
6. The lieutenant colonels and majors will be classed
together on the roster for this service, Wbcs tlha JNI~*

her is less than three, the colonels will he hrou$hf; into the
mm3 class, and, in cases of necessity one 01 tW* of the
senior captains, in order to make three or four rdiefs*
7. The granrf guards will mount habitually at *he same
hour with the other guards. See Art, 48 and 43, Never-
thdess, the generals uf brigades, with the npIBrobation
Of their superiors, may cause them to mourlt a little he-
fore the break of day, when it may be thought advisable
to double the outposts about that time ; or thev KI~Y mount
at any other hour, when some special reasoi may render
it necessary.
8. In the night a grand guard will assemble =Ind deBart
without noise, throwing out flying sentinels 012 the Inarch,
to scour the country. It will do the same thing by dsY,
at the time of establishing itself in a post, and whenever
circuu-&snces may require it.
9. It will be conducted to a new post by tIlefield #ccl
of the da.y, or by some staff officer, who may ~RVC r~con-
noitred the ground ; these ~eco?~~~oissa~zces being among
the principal duties of the staff, Seepar. 4 and 6, Ark 4.5
IO. ahe commandant of an established outpost u-ill send
to the ufield oficer of the day, as often as may I3,e neCCS-
sary, a steady man of the guard, as a guide to tlxe reliev-
ing LjieZdqficer of the dq, or grand guard. He will also
send, in the evening, a corporal, or some trusty man, to
thecfield @CW of the day, for the billet containing the pa-
role, countersign, &EC. See par, 17 and 19, Art. 48.
11. A grand guard, if there be no principal avenue to
be occupied or defendccf, will be established, as blear-ly a.y
may be, in the centre of the ground to he covered, and in
17.bottom, or in some cove.red place, in order tlrat the cnc-
my may not reconnoitre its force, &c. Outside, and near
the edge of a wood will be avoided.
1% Wht?n very near the enemy, the guard may c.kaap-e
position after retreat, particularly cavalry guartls, w&h
ought to occupy, during the day, positions very m UCX~ ad-
vanced. But even cavalry guards will not be advanced
ton near to the enemy, in a country covered, broI~en, or
mountainous, particufarly if the enemy be favoused. by the
neighbouring inhabitants.
13. Grand guards, posted in a plain, and +&d. to
cavalry attacks, w-111 cover themselves by trench&, cOf a i

circular form,) or by abattis. A similar precaution may

generally be observed when near an Irlclian enemy. Un-
der other circumstances they will only intrench and fortify
themselves by express ,permission of the brigadier gcne-
rals, as those defences are apt to impair the alertness of
the guards, and even to render them timid. This remark
will not apply to a detachment, which would, if menaced,
intrench itself, or use, for its safety, all other means fur-
nished by the localities.
14. The first care of a jMd o#cer of Ge day, and of tbe
commander of a grand guard, the moment that the latter
is in position, is to obtain intelligence of ihe enemy j of
his position; of tba roads or passes Ieading from him to
the guard, or the army. It is on this information that
the small, or more advanced posts, and the additional sen-
tinels for the night, will be established,
15. The first subaltern will command the largest, or
most important of these small posts, a sergeant the next,
and corporals the others. Generally, one of the norr-com-
missioned oEcers, with some six or twelve men, will be
most advanced, and dependent on the subaltern, the latter
(having a corporal 2nd some twelve or twenty men with
him) occupying a position between the advanced non-com-
missioned officer and the body of the gilard. The other
small posts will generally be detached to the right and
left of the guard, and all of them will throw out sentinels
prolrortiorred to their strength, and according to the in-
structions given.
16. The commander of the grand guard will give the
most detailed instructions as to the service of the several
small posts, particularly as it respects the reports to be
made to him j general vigilance j the defence I expected
f7om each ; and as to retreats ; which will always be made
on the body of the guard. The$elB qficers of the day will
act similarly in respect to the commanders of grand guards
under them respectively.
17. The particular instructions to be given to a grand
guard will depend on a vnrie.ty of circumstances, but there
are others which are gencr4 and invariable, to wit: that
it shall inform the nearest corps, and thojeld @cer of the
dq, or the general of the brigade, of any threatening or
important movement of the enemy, and of any attzlCk that

bouring inhabitants, &c. &c. In gener4, a commander
cannot too much multiply his precautions.
23. IIe will, personally, during the day, rekonnoitre
the routes which the 1)atrols and rounds will have to take
during the night, having with him some of those who will
composethem as guides for the rest. Of course, all pa-
trols, rounds, reliefs, and flying sentinels, will be clral-
lenged on their return to the guard, in common with ,alI
other perso~w whatsoever, who approach it during the
Itight.
24. Towards day break, the patrols ought to be mow
frecluent, and not rcstrictcd to the environs of the guard
and its sentinels. They will march with the greatest
1)recaution ; examine the hollow ways ; the woods favour-
able to the designs of the enemy, and negicct nothing to
avoid being cut off, or to avoid engaging in an unequal
contest. If they are attacked, or if they meet an enemy,
they will fire, and seek to arrest his march. While they
are out, the guard will be under arms, and the horsemen
mounted, OPready to mount.
25. Cavalry patrols will push their discoveries still
further than those of the infantry ; and ptrols of both
kinds, sent out towards break of day, will not return until
broad day light. Then, and not before, the additional
sentinels of the night will be withdrawn.
26. The commanders of reconnoitring parties or pa-
trols, will look hack, from time to time, to judge the as-
pect of the ground,,in order to note the points and objects
which may become favourable for dcfence in case of at-
tack, or serve as guides in the case of retreat. The roads
or ways; their crosses, branches, and directions, will like-
wise be carefully observed, and, in returning, these par-
ties, especially in the hgtlt, will frequenbly halt to look
round and to listen ; in order to be certain that they are
not pursued, or, if pursued, to make the proper resistance*
87. When it is to be apl~rehended that the small posts
may be surprised, they will not be permitted to kindle
fires ; and, in order tbat the number and position of $1~
grand guard may not be betrayed to the enemy by lights,
other fires will be made at some distance from it, and
kept up by flying sentinels. Similar fires might usefully

be established in passesor on points which, from the wan2
of men, cannot be occupied.
28. When a part of the horses tire sent to waters in
cavalry guards, the remainder will be mounted, 01 tlleY
will hold themselves ready to mount, as in tlrC CaSe of
detaching a patrol.
29. The guard, and particularly a sentind, LU A& al-
low a deserter, or other susl~icious person, to fiPprOch*
until he has thrown down his arnxs. All such pCrsOW
will bc promptly sent, from post to l)ost, to the _field o$E-
cer of the day, who mill rrport or send them to bri,$@e
head quarters. 111the night, if there be a cfificulty in
sendiug them off from the post, thy will bc stl*ktly
guarded.
30. The brigadier general haring examined them, \vill
send them to division head qu&crs. The coin m andw of
the grand guard will, himself, have previously caused
them to be searched, and questioned relative to \vtlatever
may be of itnmedintc iqm*tw~ce to his post.
31, The bearer of a -tiag of truce, and his trrrmpeter,
&c. kc. will always be atol~l~edby the first sentinel whom
they may approach, who wif1 cause the.m to halt, ancf face
about from the post and the army, and, if necessary, they
wiI1 be ditmted to place bandages about their eyes. A
non-commissioned oficer, at least, ought to remsin with
them, as well to cause an obeditlnce to those directions,
as to avoid the indiscretion of sentinels, aud frtrtlwr, to
seek, by adroit replies, to dcccive the curiosity af those
persons- whose secret and principal object may be, to
make a reconmissme under the protection of a flag.
38. The bearer of a flag of truce, who presents himself
in a proper manner, and who obeys the necessary d&c-
tions given him, will be treated with the greatevt civility
by all persons belonging to ttlc army. A written a~-
knowledgment having been given by the commitnrler of a
the grand guard, of the letters or packages hrriuqtlt, the
bearer of the flag, kc. will be immediately dismisse&-
after which, if he is found loitering or reconnoit&ng
about the outposts, he will be treated as having dislbo-
noured his flag. The letters or packages will be promptly
sent, thwgh the jkld @cer of the day, to genera! lIead
cjua1am.

XL The moment that an enemy approaches a guard,
it will commence the attack, arid keep its position, if he
is not in too great force, or the guard is not in danger of
being Cut off. In the latter case, it may take a new posi-
Gon, and make ail necessary movements to resist and de-
lay his march, combatting in close or open order to effect
those objects. Finally, when suficient time has been
given for the army to take up its order of battle, and the
enemy continues to force ill the guard, it will join its re-
giment or regiments.
34. A guard placed in some e~~closerlpost, or in an im-
portant defile, with qecial instructions to resist to the ut-
most, w-ill not fall hack or change position on the approach
of even an overwhelming force, but will hold firm, aml
risk every thing by the most stubborn resistance, with a
just reliance on timely support, and the highest approha-
iion. I
35. The posts about an army in the field ought not to
be intrenched, unless the army is acting purely on the de-
fensive; or9 unless it be to cover certain weak points, or
points which the enemy cannot avoid in attacking, or pur-
suing, if he is successful; or, unless it be to close a defile,
or in a mountainous country.
36. Under either of these circumstances, an enclosed
post woultl become united to the army, and enter, neces-
sarily, into its plan of general operations. Consequently,
every intrcnchnmnt that requires artillery ought to becoum
a post; to receive a guard or garrison ; and a particular
commander not sul~,jcctto be daily relieved.
37. Such post will only be cstablishetl according to the
orders of the general of division, under the sanction of
the general in chief, the former giving to the particular
commander written instructions relative to its defence,
and the circumstances under which the dcfence lnay Cease
38. After the commander has thoroughly examinccl the
interior and exterior of his post,, he will distribute the
service antI the grnuntl among his oflicers, 8~:. ; establish
a reserve, and give the necessary instructions for every
cast that can be foreseen. He will suppose an attack,
and will dispose his garrison for dc:fCW~, to the end of
l

being the better prepared fnr a real attack, whether by

day or by night.

circumstances, the usse&lzJ will be substituted for repair-
ing to the colours. lt will be preceded by the generaEe
for striking tents, loadin% wagons or bat horses, calling

promptitude. If the chief of some corps is absent, the

of the march, and send forward a quartermaster, or other
staff officer, to srrpcrintettd those 0l)crations.
8. 111bad rnads, and particularly in night marches9 it c
will frequently be necessary to post corporals, or mounkd
men, to mark the way, or to advertise the troops of the
direction of the march, and of difficulties to be avoided,
The corporals, or other men employed for those purposc~~
wiI1, for distinction, be called #lofts. They wiIl be posted
or relieved by company, or as often as may be necessary9
under the direction of the regimental q=uartermasters,tlm
adjutants or other officers, and without interrupting ihe
march.
9. The generals and other field officers wiu cause knap-

sacks, valises, and havresacks, to be frequently searched
On tjle march, in order to throw aWay every thing found
about the men exceedin g what is prescribed, and further, *
to punish them if necessary.
10. 1n passing through a city or village, there will be
left behind, by battalion, in succession, an oticer and a
certain uumbel* of non-comlnissioned OfliCCIS,to prevent
the men from straggling and loitering behind.
11. Jvllen necess;wy, the commdcr of the column
will, in addition to ttlc itbOVf3dispositions, CaUSc: :I 1IlittOOr~
or company towards the l?alr, to be ddached from tllc
co]unln, as a rear gtld, t0 fOrCe up StiQ3&lerS. Under
important circumstances, he wiii Cause one or more non-
commissioned oficcrs Per regiment; to be attached to this
guard, to aid it in that duty. The guard will also be par-
ticularly instructed to prevent marauding, even in an enc-
mys country. If taken in the fact, the marauder will bc
, sent to his corps with the proper charge, in order that be
may be severely and publicly punisbed for the infamous
offence. See the 52~1and 54th articles of war.
19. The generals and colonels will occasionally halt till
their columns have Passed, in order to see whether the
proper distances are obsex~ed. They will frequently send
an aid-de-camp, or other staff officer to the rear, for the
same purpose,-on whose report the march may be regu-
lated; or this may be done on sounding the signal, S~O-,YJ
infront, by a bugle attached to the rear.
13. In passing tlafiles or obstd3, the troops which first
pass will, successively, relax their pacp, or even halt, if
~~ecessary,to give time to those in the rear to regain their
distances. Each division will. re-form after passing, be.-
fore accelerating its march to rejoin the column. But it
is undelatood, that where the difficulty consists merely in
the want of width in the route, the diminishing of front,
bY well instructed troops, ought not to lengthen the co-
lumn or to red2 halts necessary for regaining distances
or for re-forming.
14. The column will hah as often as the 01)jeet of the
march ad the distance to be made, will perlnit. IhIts
serve the double purpose of resting and re-fi)rming tfJe

men in the cavalry. IBat horses, and others, will he with
the wagons, under the orders of the conductors of the
trains. They ought not to be permitted to accomyany the
columns j and mounted officers, will, as far as practicable,
keep to the leewartl of the column. q
16. When it can be avoided, troops (preparatory to tak-
ing up the line of march) will not be assembled in ways,
routes, or other places, so as to interrupt, the movements
of the other troops. The generals yf divisions will each
send a staff officer in advance, to the rendezvous appoint-
ed, to receive the corps as they arrive. Each coqs,when
others are to come up, or are already at the rcndczvous,
will take its habitual position in the order of battle, or of
march, unless a different one be specially assignetl.
17. The time of commencing the march, for each corps,
when several are to take the same route, will be regulated
by the general in chief, or the senior general present, in
case the former has not given his orders on the subject.
18. In mwchcs in the interior, when the immediate ob-
jc& is simply to overcome distance, corps larger than re-
giments may be broken into regiments, and the latter fol-
low each other at intervals, say of twelve or twenty-four
hours. If the troops arc without tents, the same rule will
be applied to the companies of a regiment, in order to in-
crease the chance of finding shelter at night for all the
companies.
10. In route, the diRerent. battalions ought to lead al-
ternately, and so of companies in the same battalion.
These changes will take place from halts.
20. In general, the first halt will be made three yuar-
ters of an hour after the commencement of the days
march, when bayonets will be w$ixed; the others from
hour to hour, and always at some little distance from vil-
lages or habitations, in order to take from the men the
occasion and the Ijretext of straggling. The principal halt
will be about the middle of the days march, but ought
rarely to exceed an hour. At the last halt prior to finish-
ing the march, bayonets will be re-$xed.
21, When the column is about to halt, the step will be

will be laid down, not to be departed from except &der
peculiar circumstances.
2. The advance guard ought to be preceded in marches,
and attacks, by its tirailleurs, (that is, marksmen or skir-
mishers,)-to occupy, to harass, to disconcert the enemy ;
to repel his tiraillezcrs ; to reconnoitre the passes lead.ing
to him; the position be occupies, and finally, to open the
way to victory.
3. After overthrowing the enemys outposts, this guard
will occupy, in advancin p, the principal points which may
serve to cover and to facilitate the march of the corps to
which it appertains, as well as the points the possession
of svhich may be necessary in case of retreat-such as
bridges, defiles, stone houses,* woods, and heights. Those
objects accomplished, it will complete its chain of tirail-
Zelcrs,and attempt, without committing itself, such attacks
as may serve to occupy the enemy, and to deceive him as
to the march and the projects of the corps which follow,
4. Those small detachments left behind in advancing,
will rc*join the guard when other troops come up to them.
If a position be taken by the line, and the advanced guard
be separated from it by heights, or by defiles-in order
to preserve a union with the guard, such points ought to
be occupied by troops drawn from the line,
5. When sufficiently near the enemy, the troops will be
drawn up in a number of lines, according to the force of
the column or columns, with some battalions placed behind
the wings of the first.
6. The lines may be composed of troops in column, and
troops in the order of battle, according to the ground, the
demonstrations mad& or the attacks projected. But, in
general, troops which have.to advance some distance be-
, fore attacking, and not exposed to a direct fire from the
enemys batteries, ought to be held in column, ready to
advance, or to display according to circumstances.
7. In order not to confound the advance guard with the -
other troops, after the battle opens, the former wilf take
position on the &u&s, or in the intervals; in the villages
or houses; on heights ; behind advanced fences, &c. &AI

taking care. not to intercept the fire of the trb~ps, and
also to preserve a unity of design *it11 them.
8. TOP.pwerue will be in the rear of the centx+e,or be-
hind the pointi deemed the most .impwhnt. AH ifar M
pwticable, it will be composed of the 6W9 hbth of foot
and of adry, with a view to celeritg. rha ob,j& of or
mwrve is, to finish the defeat of the encmp; to r&%&k-
blirib a lost battle, or to cover a retreat.
9. The cavatry ought to be divided between the two
tiings, and placed in echelon, if the grounrl be,hvourble
to it9 opcratioils in those directions. Vigour, sWiftness,
and to turn the ewny, will be recommended ti it; ah,
rather to &we than receive the charge ; and, in order to
preserve the superiority of shock given by its totality and
nnity, not to commence the gallop until within a hndred
paces of the cncmy.
10. The comindrirlant in chief of the artillery, of the W-
prior oficcr of that arm, attached to a corps #a&, xlL
vision, &c. will distribute his batteries along the front of
the lb; on the flanks, in advance, or in the intervals, ac-
co&n. to the ground, or tbc orders ha map ha*@Pkcefv-
ed-ho Tding birnself, personally, where his perPence kasf
be the most ncccwwy. The artillery will be employed to
siloncc the fire of the enemys batteries which coV4v the
chosen point of attack. In defence, IY wilt direct its fire
against the troops most in advance, and tn both c&es the
Arc ~111be united as much as pokblc--it being te&ble
and destructive only when concentrated.
11. In battles, and military operations in general, ntne
ought always seek to t&c the lead,* that is, to r&u& the
 Battles --gelted diSpositions, Art. 54, 127
by favour of the ground, trees, houses, &c. &c. or by a
cloud of active tirailleurs ; -in short, by amusing or hotd-
ing in check a large portion of the enemy, by a smaller
number of the army.
12. Defence, like attack, has its important point. Every
thing depends on a just knowledge of it. It is that where
the enemy would have to make tbe least effort, wbetl~q
to overturn one corps on another, or to pierce the centre,
in order to carry himself on a point of communicatjon 41
of retreat, in the rear.
13. Besides tire dispositions which orr@t to be made,
relative to the probable design of tbc enemy, it is ne~.~s-
sary to secure the wings by placing in eche+ns some bat-
talions or squadrons behind them, if tbe ground does not
afford that securit.v, But tbc defence opce well esta-
blished, that is, the danger of being cd OPtqmz& having
ceased, the army ought to assume the o$e&ge, as the
most certain means of disconcerting the enemy in biys
plans-of giving confidence to the troops-in short, of wc-
curing v-ictory.
14. To guard against a reverse, it is important navq
to hazard an attack without having ones communication6
and retreat assured ;-accordingly, at the same time that
the dispositions for the attack are prescribed, those to by
followed in case of non-success or retreat, ought also to be
given* Thus mill be indicated, in advance, the movements
which the several corps, down to regiments inclusive, way
have to make under the different contingencies which may
arise; and the positions which they ought successively to
seize and to occupy. But, however fully the general 311
chief may enter into the details of the day, to provide for
probable or even possible resuIts, yet as he cannot be WI+
ry where, nor foresee every thing, the subordinate com-
manders may, according to circutnstanccs, vary those dis-
positions, acting always in strict COllfOrmity to tk gGJJc*
r&l plan of battie, or in harmony with the other cotp
15. The government expe& that corps darmh divi-
sions, and brigades, will, under the circumstances hot SW-
posed, (that is, in unforeseen cases, or in the ahseW 9f
orders,) give to each other a mutual support; as 2 XoIJH
not acknowledge as an advantage, but would r.+ga,rd as,
culpable, the partial success that one corps might &ain,
in theplace of preventing the total lass of anotherq

tile foundatioli of military fame, and this fame the princi-
pal reward of merit, too much care cannot be observed by
the general in chief in collecting information, before he
offers the names of his companions in arms to the. notice
of government, and the admiration of the country. Jws-
tice and policy equally require that the names of individu-
als or of corps failing to do their duty, shoulld be given
in like manner, Indeed, reports of military affairs are
highly defective, which do not notice faults committed, as
well as strokes of extraordinary courage or genius exhi-
bited.
23. To enable the general in chief to execute, with im-
partiality and fidelity, this high and delicate trust, his
first despatch to the gorernmeut ought, briefly and sim-
ply, to state the general and more important results of the
affair ; making his detailed report afterwards, on full de-
I &ration.
24. Private letters, or reports, relative to military
marches and operations, are frequently misc.hievous in
design, and always disgraceful to the army. They are,
therefore, sfrictly forbidden ; and any officer found grlilty
of makiqg such report for publication, without special, per-
mission, or of placing the writing beyond his control, SO
that it finds its way to the press, within one month after
the termination of the campaign to which it relates, shall
be rlisrnisscd from the service.

1. Besides the temporary or stationary hospitals esta-
blished in the ncighbourhood of an al>my for the reception
of the sick, I!& there shall be organized, by the medical
director attached to general head quarters, ufield or qno^ue-
nlile hospitals, to follow the corps during operations, and
to give to the wounded the most prompt assistance,
2. For these purposes, the medical officers, &c. will be
organized into a field de@, divisions, sections, and a flp-
ing hospital ; the extent of each to correspond with the
corps to which it is attached.
9. On the day of a bat+, r t;he field depot shall be placed,

the action is hottest, and to afford the ear*licsg slicco~ to

4. The medical director will, in corwwt witit the par-
termaster general, cause a suitable number of light Magow
and attendants to be attached to the several .pWts of the
&Id hospital, each detachment under the coIlduct of an
officer or ;l,gent of the quartermasters department* When
. practicable, these attendants will be selected from the
country people.
5. The field depBt and the divisions will be provided
with a sufficient number of litters, &c. for the removal of
the wounded to the stationary or general hc~spitals in tbc
rear. They will also be furnished with c~tses of instru-
ments, blankets, some brandy, wine, vinegal-, salt, bread,

ARTWLE 56.
Convoys and their escorts.
1. The force and composition of the c.sco~*t of a convoy
will he calculated according to the nature of tlbe convoy,
the danger of attack, and the country through w]tich it
has to pass. If it be a convoy of powder, the escort sllould
be more numerous9 in order that the defence of it, in case
of attack, may not be so near the wa&ons, &c. as to risk
f3xplosion.

,
 Coavoys and their escorts, Art. 56.

2. As often as possible there will be &ached to large

convoys pioneers or fatigue parties, with proper tools, a8
well to remove difficulties in the roads, as to repair the
wagons, &c. With a view to the latter, every convoy
should be furnished with spare wheels, spare axles, and
the like.
3. The oficgr charged with organizing and putting a
convoy in march will piye to the commander detailed
written instructions for his government. The escort, in
reference to the roster, will bc considered as a detach-
ment,
4. When an artillery or ordnance officer is present with
an escort of a convoy, consisting of ammunition or pow-
der, the commandant, if of a different corps, ought to ad-
vise with him as to the order of marching, and parking
the carriages, and also as to the sentinels necessapy to
prevent accidents,
5. The caissons and other ammunition carriages, also
those which contain the tools and spare pieces of car-
riages, will form the first division, or the one most re-
mote from the enemy; next the travelling-forges, pro-
vision wagons, &c. &c. dividing the whole number of car-
riages, if it be a considerable convoy, intaa suitable nurn-
tier of divisions :-obliging those of each division to fol-
low in close order--that is, at the distance of four paces
apart, and preservin, v the distance prescribed between the
divisions,
6. Prudence ought to be the principal quality of the
commandant, He will regulate his march according to
the proximity of the enemy, their respective forces, the na-,
ture of: the ground, &c, &c. Before marching, he will
seek to obtain the best information on those points, and
afterwards push his reconnoitring parties as far in ad-
vance as circumstance9 may permit.
7. On discovering the enemy, those parties will report
to the commandant; take a position, and wait for the ap-
proach of the column, or for orders. On resuming the
march, they will throw out tiraillezcrs, to scour the road
sides, woods, hoTlow ways, &c.
8. If the head of the cblurnn is threatened, ihe corn**
mandant will advance with hi; principal corps, leaving
only small detachments on the other point9 ; occlrpying9
139 Convoys ami their escorts, Art. 56,
as he advances, the defiles and other positions where the
enemy might attack the column to advantage, To be
master of those before the enemy, he will send forward an
advance guard, and when he comes up with the latter,
wait with the principal corps until the head of the column
rejoins him.
9. of the rear of the convoy should be threatened, simi-
lar measures would be adopted. In this case, to multip]y
obstacles in the way of pursuit, it would be important to
destroy the bridges left behind, to choke up the roads,
&CC. Near the enemy9 villages are always to be consider-
ed as defiles, and consequently not entered until every
precaution is taken.
10. If the country is open, the principal corps will ha- *
bitually remain about the ceutre of the column, when small
advance and rear guards will be sufficient.
1~. If the flanks are threatened, the ground difficult of
access, or broken, and there are several defiles to pass,
the defence of the convoy would be more dillicult, In this
case, the principal corps would occupy, in advance, the
positions which serve to cover the convoy, and hold them
until the rear of the latter passes.
12. It wifl frequently be useful, wllen threatened, and
the width of the road will permit, to diminish the ground I
to be defended by causing the carriages to form in double
column, and in that order to pursue the march.
13. ff a carriage is overturned, it must be promptly
unloaded and set on its wheels ; if broken, and the spare
pieces to repair it are not at hand, it will be thrown aside
the column, and tbc load divided among the other car-
riages.
14. During the night the convoy will be parked, and
the necessary sentinels arut outposts established.
15. If the enemy is announced and is in force9 the com-
mandant will promptly cause the carriages to be parked
iu the form of a square or triangle, the horses inside. If 1
the ground is unfavourable, he will double the files of car-
iGages to diminish the spaceto be defended, The drivers
ought to bc on foot, and at the horses heads, the better
to govern them, These persons will be held strictly to
th&r duty. Sea articles of war, 60 and 96.
16. 'Ih timihrs thrnlvn out for the purpose will hold

the enemy at a distance as long as possible. If it becomes
necessary to sustain them, the commandant will do it with
the greatest circumspection, as it is important to hold his
principal corps prepared for the moment and the point at
which the enemy may be expected to make his greatest
effort.
17. Although it is prudent for an escort to avoid com-
bats as much as possible, yet, if the enemy scizcs, by an-
ticipation, a defile or position which commands the route,
it would be necessary, after leaving suitable detachments
with the column, to attack him with vigour. In this case
the column would remain at a halt until the defile or po-
sition be carried.
18. If the convoy is fired when in park, every. exertion
will be promptly made to remove the carriages in flames.
If this cannot be done, the others to the leeward should
be removed, beginnin, * with those loaded with ammunition
or powder. In march, the carriages fired would be over-
turned by the way.
19. It may happen that by delivering a part of the con-
voy to pillage, the remainder may he saved. This the
commander may do under an extreme necessity ; saving
the carriages charged with ammunition and subsistence
in preference.
20. When, in consequence of a very great superiority
on the part of the enemy, and the duration of the comb&
the commandant has lost the greater part of the escort ;
or, being attacked on all sides, he finds himself no longer
able to resist, and that, in the one case or the other, he is
without hope of succour; he ought to cause the convoy to
be fired, and, with the whole of his detachment united,
seek to make good his retreat by cutting his vsay through
the enemy.
AICTICLE 57,

Baggage trah
1. The necessaries of officers have already been limit-
ed and regulated ; (see article 46 ;> but the camp equip-
age, as tents of officers and corps, cannot be reduced to
equal certainty, The quartermaster general will9 therefore,
WI
-- -

134 Bagguge train, Art. 57.

under the orders of the general in cltief, furnish wagons,

or b&t horses, in proportion to the necessaries allowed.
under the above cited article, and in proportion to the
camp equipage supplied by the government, and permitted
by the general in chief, as indispensably necessary to the
comfort of the officers and troops.
2. Tile trains belonging to the .general head quarters,
atld the head quarters of army uorps, will be confided to
the several wagonmasters attached to those quarters re-
spectively. The generals of divisions and brigades will
appoint sergeants for tbc trains of their respective head
quarters.
3. The train of each regiment will be under the conduct
of tho quartermaster sergeant, or some otbcr sergeant;
that of a brigade, under the conduct of a wagonmaster,
with authority over the sergeants; and when the several
trains of a division arc united, the senior waponmaster
ohail have charge of the whoIe, if there be not some supe-
rior officer of the quartermaster generals department, de-
signated for that duty.
4. Those several conductors of trains shall be rcsponsi-
ble to the quartermaster general, or the superior officer OC
his department, for the prescribed order of march, and of
. parking, and for the conduct of all inferiors under them,
reupectivdy, including sutlcrs, drivers, and servants.
5. The wagons and bBt horses contemplated in this ar-
ticle, and in Art. 46, together with oflicers spare or led
horses, and horses and carriages belonging to corps, or
to the United States, constitute the baggage train of an
army. None others will be allowed to enter or march
Jvith it, without special permission from general head
quarters,
6. The trains of general head quarters, the bad quar-
ters of army corps, and of divisions, may, when in march,
have a guard of infantry groportioned to the number of
sentinels nWessary, ,to be regulated by eacll particula,r
chief of the staff, under the approbation of his general. In
the cavdry, this service would be assigned to the dismount-
ed men in preference, and, in every case where it is prac-
ticable, generals who keep guards of hanour will rather
detach sentinch from those guards to protect their bag-

made for this purpose.
7. The trains of brigadiers will be scrvcd and protect-
cd in march by the men attached to the trains of the first
regiments in their respective brigades. The regimental
trains will be guarded in march, as far as practicable, by
convalescents, or men non-eflective in the ranks, and in
the cavalry by those who are dismounted.
8, Wheu the trains are to be escorted with a view to
defciice, they will then fall under the nature of convoys,
and the wagonrnasters and other conductors will be under
the orders of the commanders of the escorts. See Art, 56.
9. The several trains will march in an order analogous
to the rank of the generals, and that of the corps to which
they belong. The wagons, 8~. charged with the general
supplies of the army, will have a place specially assigned
them.
10. Great cart will be taken to prevent the trains from
cutting or intercepting the march of the troops? and in no
case will they be allowed to occupy a place in the midst of
a column. Habitually, the divisions will be followed by
their trains, whioh will be united at the rendezvous of the
brigades. If it is otherwise ordered, the instructions giv-
en for the movements of the divisions, brigades, and re-
giments, wiil regulate, for each of those corps, what may
concern the unioq and direction of their trains.

Genernl police.
1. When it shall become necessary, in the opinion of
the general in chief, a provost guard for the army, or one
. for each army corps or division, may be detailed, each of
which, under a provost marshal, shall receive, in relief
of the regimental police guards, such convicts, and other
prisoners, with the army, as may be confined for the
graver offencesj or such prisoners, in general, as may be
committed to it. See Art. 80 of the rules and a&i&s of

respect to the roster, provost guards will be classed with
other police guards.
3. Private servants will not be allowed to wear the uni&
form of any of the corps of the army ; but, in order that
they may be known, each will be held bound to carry
about him, at all times, a certificate signed by the officer
who empl0y.s him. The regimental officers9 certificates,
given to therr servants, will be countersigned by the coio-
nel. Out of regiments, certificates of tins character, giv-
en by officers under the rank of colonel, will be counter-
signed by the chiefs of the staff of the corps to which the
officers are attached. Each certificate will contain a dc-
scription of the person of the servant who bears it, and
shall be recalled, if the servant is discharged.
4. Washerwomen, in the proportion authorized per
company, and other laundrcsscs permitted to follow the
army, will be furnished with certificates stating them to
be such, signed as in the preceding paragraph ; and no

Prisoners of war.
1. Prisoners taken from the enemy, from the moment
that they yield themselves, ad as lung as they obey the
necessary orders given them, are under the safeguard of
the national faith and honour. They will be treated at all
times with every indulgence not inconsistent with their
safe-keeping, and with good order among them, Officers
in whose power they are, will bear in mind, and recall to
the recollection of the soldier, that courage is honoured
by generosity; and it is expected that the American army
will always be slow to retaliate air the unarmed, acts of
Idgsur or cruelty committed by the enemy, in the chari-
table hope of recalling the latter to a sense of justice and
humanity by a magnanimous forbearance.
9, Prisoners will be pl*omptly disarmed, and escorted
to some place of safety in the rear. They will be report-
ed from head quarters to head quarters, as soon as the
action is over, or as soon as practicable, in order that they
may be sent off to the depots destined to receive them, and
that a return of them may be made to the War DeparG
ment, This return will specify rank, number, and corps.
3. Wounded prisoners will be treated with the salno
cares as the wounded of the army, and other prisoners
will be subsisted at the rate of oue ration each, (CXCept-

The general treatment of prisoners, tinder the head of a&
ministration, as clothing, pay9 kc. will depend on particir-
lar collventions made with the enemy relative the&o.
4. The ordnance, carriages, horses, and other public
property, captured, and the arms, accoutremcnts, and
~OJWS of the prisoners. will be remitted to the proper ac-
counting ofticc~fs or departments, on account of the govern-
ment. The horses will be branded with the letters (6U, S.
before they are distributed among the corps in want of
them. The ofbcers arms wilt be restored to them, to-
gether with their private efFb& as soon as practicable ;
but oficers horses need not be retnmed, as they are not
necessaries, and it being understood that they will be in-
demnified tberefor by their own government.
5, The persons to be considered as prisoners of war,
and those to be released as non-combatants, together with
the exchange of the former, will depend on the conven-
tions or cartels agreed upon by the belligerents ; or, in
the absence of such agreements, on the usages of war, the
example of the enemy, and the particular .instructions
given by the government to the commanders of the Ameri-
can forces.
6. Prisoners of war, in dcp6t, if numerous, will be or-
ganized into battalions, and placed under a proper num-
ber of non-commissioned ofliccrs9 selected from their own
body, who will be charged with the interior police of the
battalions and cornpanics ; subject, of course, to the or-
ders of the cnmmnndcr of the depik
7. Tbc oficers among the prisoners will not, in gcnc-
ral, be confined with the other prisoners. The general in
thief, or the commander of a depot, may, according to
instructions, and the deportment of the officers, give them
permission to repair, without escort, to such places and
by SUCK routes, as may be designated ; taking from each
his poroile in writin ,g, binding lum to act accordingly.
8. Every such officer who violates his parole-that is,
who shall de])& from the route prescribed, or the limits
assigned him 3 or who, bein permitted to return to his
own country, shall serve agam against the United States
or tfieir allies, before exchanged, or in violation of his pa-
role given, every such o-fficer,being retaken, shall at feast

be put and kept in irons, and may be otherwise punished
according to the particular circumstances of the case, the
instructions of the govcmment, and the usages of war.

ARTICLE 61.

Dish-i htiom.
1. Under this head will be comprehended the mode of
issuing and of receiving rations of subsistence, forage,
straw, wood, 8x. or the service of thest: supplies in respect
to the troops.
2. As to the formation, and the plading, of magazines
to anticipate the particular or general wants of an army
in the g&i,- these are preparatives which will depend on
the plans and the foresight of the government or the ge-
neral in chief, and which enter too much into the greater
operations of war to be trcatcd of in this place.
3. To confine, then, this article to its proper limits, it
may be stated that, as subsistence of some sort is indis-
pensable to life, so is it important to the health and the
cheerfulness of the troops, and (by conseqllence) to their
efficiency, that they at all times receive the full allowance
of provisions accorded to them by the government in good
condition, and with regularity , but more particularly on
l

the approach of battles, or at halts after long or fatiguing

mare hes.
4. These objects will, therefore, command and receive
the undivided attention of the commissary general of sub-
sistence,* and a large portion of that of the general in
chief, of commanders of corps, and of the quartermaster
general-each within his sphere.
5. The same place of distribution may be specified for
a particular army corps, but preferably for a particular
division or briqadc, from the head quarters of which, a
staff officer will be detached to cause justice to be done,

in the issues made to them.
6. With a view to promptitude, and to diminish the fa-
tigue of the troops, the bread wagons, &CC. ought, as often
as possible, to be brought behind and near the corps which
are to participate in the distribution.
7. The quartermaster sergeant of each regiment, with
a suitable number of men per company, furnished with the
proper returns, (see Arts. 69 and 72,) will repair to the
place of distribution at the hour specified. If the field
and staff are to participate in it, some additional men
would be added to the detail.
8. These fatigue parties will bc conducted as a relief
detached from a guard, (see par. 43, Art. 43,) it being a
principle that men on duty with, or without, arms, and
not encumbered with burthens, as wood. straw, and the
like, shall always be formed and marched in military
order.
9. The quartermaster, or some other oficer substituted
by the commander, will always be present at distributions
in which his regiment is interested, to judge of the quan-
tity and quality of the supplies, or allowances tendered,
and in case of deficiency under either head, to make the
proper remonstrance on the spot, or, if without effect, to
report the circumstances promptly to his commander, in
order that the report may pass from head quarters to head
quarters, until it reaches the authority competent to apply
a corrective : otlicers being expressly forbidden to redress
themselves or regiment, by a resort to violence.
10. In general, bread, salt meat, and the smaller parts .
of the mens rations will be issued four days in advance.
11. The use of blankets for the carriage ef the mens
subsistence, is a proof of a want of decency and economy.
A sack at least, per company, ought to be-substituted, and
at the expense of the company when not furnished by the
government,
1% When practicable, supplies or atlowances will be
issued per company, and in mass, at the place of general
distribution. The interior distribution per company3 will
afterwards be made to the squads by lot.

Sieges.
I. A siege is here supposed to be conducted by two di-
risinlzs of infantry, aud a brigade of cavalry, This ex-
alnple will serve for a greater or smaller number of divi-
siorls, or even for a brigade, substituting in the latter case
colonels, in the place of generals, for the duties of the
trenches,
2. The generals of divisions aud of brigades will alter-
nate together for the duties of the trenches. lihere will
be one or more of them d&ailed daily for this service, a~-
cording to tbc extent of the trenches and number of at-
tacks.
3. Their duties will be to dispose the tl*oops SO as to
protect the operations going on ; to defend them in east
of &tack, and to maintain good order, 6x. among the .
troops of eve,l*y armemployed in the batteries or in tbc

alterations in it as he may judge prOper. The same
course will be ~mrsqtl as often as the mO1'Cimportant
events of the siege may rcncler a change of the origind

6, In the daily service of the trenches, the superior
olli~cr of the eqgincers on duty there will l~ropose, in
like manner, to the general of the trenches, the measures
pr011cr to carry into effect the g.3neral projet. The gene-
ral of the trenches will approve or modify those proposi-
tions, and cause thcln to be executed.

12. The colours will remain at the camp, esccpt when
the battalions march to repel a sortie, or to give the as-
sault. In these cases, they will be unfurled only when
the general in chief shall so expressly order.
13. The troops to be relieved will send non-commission-
cd otliccrs (or olficcrs) to the openings of the trenches, to
conduct the rciieving corps. Ihc former will march out
by a flank.
14. The earth-sacks, fascincs, gabions, or the l&c, and
the tools ncccssary for the labours, will, be collected at
the openings of the trerichcs, under x sutficient guard, to
bc taken, preferably, from tbc artillery.
15. The munitions, &CC.of tbc ordnance sbdl be de-
livered on the requisitions of the commandants of the bat
tcrirs ; those for the inibrltry at the trenches, on the re-
quisitions of the commanders of the. battalions, appvcd
by the general of the trenches.
16. The guartls of the trcncbes,,to be added to the flank
comI)anics (penacliers and light infantry) and the labour-
ers in the trrnchcs, will be fugished by the battalions
which mount thcrc; the ,guanls from the right, and the
labourcrs from the left, of the battalions. The labourcrs
out of the trenches, or in the rear, will be detailed as or-
diuary fatigues, and from the remaining battalions.
17. In case of cxtraordinarv calls, fdiguc parties may
be taken from the customary i,iquets of the camp.
18. When the sappers and miners of the corps of engi-
nccrs are insuficient for the mines and saps, auxiliaries
may be selected from the other corps.
19. Sacks of earth will be placed on the &umZem~2t of
the trench to cover the sentinels,
20. At the trenches, alarm-posts will be established for
the assemblage of the labourers, in which they wilt depo-
site their arms whilst at work. Those posts will be COO-
sen so as to give the least embarrassment to the passage
of the labourcrs, or other troops.

the trcnchcs are sufficiently deep-always with arms in
hand. The sentinels, particularly in the night, will be iti-
strutted frequently to put their ears to the ground, in or-
der the better to hear any moremcnt made by the enemy.
23. In case of a sortie, the moment the garrison ceases
to cannonade, (which very generally announces the ap-
pro& of a sortie) the labourers and other troops will re-
pair promptly to the alarm-posts, the batteries, the angles,
.6x.. which may he assigned them respectively, and from
which they can best tIcfend the trenches, or take the cne-
my in reverse and in flank. During the sortie, all the
batteries wi]l direct their Grc on thejraat of the attack.
24. When the troops shall have repulsed the garrison,
they will not pursue, but wait for the orders of the gene-
rals to resume their posts and labours, which will be giv-
en as soon as the retreat of the enemy lcaves his batteries
free to play on the troops.
2.5. The grenadiers or other select troops will form the
reserve. The general in chief will be free to organize
the grenadiers into temporary battalions, and to cause
them to cncatnp apart, or they will mount with their re-
spective battalions.
26. lhe light infantry companies will mount with tlleit
respective battalions, to bc employed at the advance-posts
as ,guartls, or as hmifleurs of the trenches. It follows,
that the grenadier and light infantry companies do not fur-
nish labourers for the Mnchcs.
27. When circumstances sllall require it, the cavalry
may be employed (dismounted) in the service of the trench-
es. The cavalry, also, will gcncrally be employ-ed in
assaults, to carry fiVXitM3 or other materials to fill a],
ditches, or to form passa,~q. In this case the regimental
officers of every grade wrll accompany their men.
98. General oflticers attached to the cavalry may bc em-
ployed with the corps or detachments placed in obscrva-
tion to cover the siqge. They may also be employed, to-
gether with the field officers of their arm, during the siege,
with escorts of convoys, whatever may be the corps which
furnish them.
29. The officers of the engineers employed at the
trenches will make to the general of the trenches sin&l
 hieges. Dejhce of places, Arts. 62, 6s. 147

reports to those made to the commandant in chief of that

arm. The superior engineer ofricer on duty at the trenches
will, when relieved, make a general report of his twenty-
four hours tour, and remit it to the general in chief.
30. All the commanders of corps who mount at the
t.renches will report, when relieved, to their respective
head-quarters (as in other cases) the losses which their
corps may experience whilst on duty there, noticing, at the
same time, the conduct of their officers, &c. &c.
31. The general in chief will order such additions to
be made to the ordinary rations of the troops employed at
the trenches, whether armed or unarmed, as he may think
necessary.
3% He will also, before giving the assault, de&gate
cc.rtain select companies to be exclusivciy occupied, from
the moment the place is carried, in preventing pillage and
violence; and all officers will use their utmost efforts to
restrain their troops to a strict observance of good order,
aud of the dictates of humanity.
33. Being in possession of the place, the general in
chief may impose a special contribution an the inhabitants
(in the case of a fortified city) to be distributed on the
spot, to the troops who carried the place.
34. Whether the place be taken by assault or by capitu-
lation, all ordnance, stores , and other public property,
will be turned over to the proper dqtirtmenfs or ofliccrs,
on account of the government.

Defame of plnces.
1. Every commander of a fortress, fort, or other strong
place, will consider his post as liable to be attacked unex-
pecterlly ; consequently, he will regufate his plan of de-
fence, and the order of service according to the several
probable modes of attack he may have to sustain; and
will determine, for the prilicipal cases, in advance, What
ewli corps or individual will have to perform, on the BC-
tual orcurrcnce of tither.

ment ; the force, composition, and state of the garrison ;
the contlition of the batteries, and the quantity and state
of the munitions or supplies of cvcry kind,
3. From the moment that the enemy is within one
march of his post, he will compel all r~sclcss mouths to
leave the place, and cause to be demolished every thing
within the interior which may hc in the way of a frco cir-
CuIation of the garrison. He will, at the same time,
caoie to be demolished, or cut down, all houses, trees,
and the like, about the exter+ior, which might cover the
approach of the enemy.
4. If, within the United States, such objects belong to
individuals, he will first request their ownc.rs to remove
them, having the property duly appmiscd (in either case)
if practicable.
5. The commander may consult the scvcrnl command-
eSrsor chiefs under hitn, either separately, or in a coun-
cil of defence ; but he alone wilt be held rcspon&ble for the
decisions he may form, whether in conformity with, or
against the advice given by the council, or of its mernhers
separately.
6. He will defend his works, successively, by all the
means within his power, but in those successive drfences
he will husbancl his rcsourses in men and munitions in
such manner, 1st. That hc may have for the assaults, and
especially the assault of his citadel, (if there be one,) a re-
seiw of fresh t~roops,cl~oscr~from the old& or best corps
of the garrison ; $21.That he mm have, to the last, the
subsistence and the ammunition Wnecessaryfor the most
vigorous rcsistancc.
7. The rules. and articles of war, (see the 54th) and the
usages of nations, condemn to death any commander who
shamefully almjldons a fort or post he may be charged to
defend. To escape such ignominy, he ought, in the case
of a fort~ss, to compel the besiegers to approach by slow
and successive labours, and to repel at least one assault.
See par. 4 I, Art. 52,
8. Fitmlly, if compelled to capitulate, the commander
will not separate himself from his offirers or troops, but

36. The surgeon will bc careful to guard the men against
eostiveness on approaching a hot climate. in passing
through the West Indies to the Mississippi or the Mobile,
for instance, and for some weeks after landing in those
Iatiturlcs, great care will also he required to prevent the
men from eating green or bad fruit, as strangers would
not be competent to judge of that article, and as most
kinds, after long voyages, are highly pre,judicial.
~7. Regularity and decency of conduct, which are at
all times required of troops, are indispensably necessary
on board of transports. The commanding ofl-ictr will
therefore exert his utmost care and abilities, and call into
action those of his subordinates, in enforcing the regula-
tions of discipline and police among the troops, and par-
ticulnrly the ol~servancesrequired by this article. If these
be strictly followed, the. troops embarked may reasonably
hope for as good health as on shore.

I, Cowidwing the dispfitmd situatiqn of the forces, the

public interest will frequently require, that orders, circu-
lath, kc. sl-lould issue directly from general head q-i~ar~
ters, to the commanders of regiments, detachments, and
psts ; or to indivitlmts tlttached to a departmeht ; but in
alI swh cases copies of the orders will be transmitteci to
the commanders of departments for their information.
See Art. 48, par. 2.
2. When orders of a q.xeraL or permamxt character
are so distributed, there will be a note made on the face
of them, to signify to tile commanders of departments, that
they have been sent, directly, to the several posts.
3. In the ascenrling line of communication, the channel
wiIX be, except in extraordinary cases, through the inter-
mcdiatc chiefs of staffs ; as the adjutant of a regiment or

thereof ;)-the acting assktant ac!jutant genera], at de-

5. If, in some particuh Case, a verbal application be
permitted, the rule prescribed above will bc observed :-
thus, for example, a lieutenant wanting an indulgence of
any kind, would first obtain the sanction of his captain
before applying to a higher commander.
6. ~!HlOrJg the ex~YaOrdi~Kw~ cases referred to, in par.
3, above, may, be reclwnctl alq~licrttions for the redress of
grievances, after the demand of, and denial of justice by,
the immediate commander. But these facts must be stated
in the appeal to the next higher authority, or it will be
the duty of the latter to take no notice of the complaint;
except, indeed, it sboiild appear to be one of a peculiar
import, or character. See Art. 26, par. 2.
V Every captain, or commander of a company, wtlether
thi company be pi*cr;ent with the colour*s or not, will
make monthly returns of the company to the acljutant of
the regiment, conformably to the 19th article of war; aud
further to account for all absCtlt enlisted men, and giving
esplanations of the alterations within the preceding month,
These company returns will be consolidated by the adju-
taut, and one copy sent direct to the nd;jutant gcrleral ;
one to department bead quarter%, and a third entered illto
the Return-book. See Art. 37, Sub. I. pa:. 6.
8. Every comn~antler of a separate post, who corrc-
spends directly with department head quarters, will send
monthly to the latter, a similar, or posl returJl, of all the
troops under him ; whether they constitute a single com-
pany, or more 01less than a company. If the commander
of the post be also that of the i%$n&, and tiJ0 troops
wider him belong entirely to his own rc,giment, a com-
pliance with the Iattpr part of par, 7, above, will be a
con~pliance with this Ijar.
9. The consolidated regimental return required above,
will be made from the last company returns, respectively
noting theit* dates if they be different.
10. Inspection returns of every company in the service
will be transmitted directly to the acl,jutant general, at
ttle end of every second mouth in the year, as February,
April, PEc. The object of these returns mill be9 to es-

Wit the exact state of tbe arms, equipments, dothing,
and every other circumstance tending to show the actual
condition of the troops.
11. The forms of monthly returns, and of inspection
returns, will be the same as are now in use, or, if changed,
new forms will be furnished by the adjutant gen&al. De-
parture from forms supplied by the proper autllority, as
the head of a department of the staff, will be regarded as
disobedience of orders. I
12, The original proceedings of all military courts, OT-
dered from general head quarters, will be transmitted di-
rectly to the adjutant general, by the otliciating judge ad-
vocatc, or recorder. If the court was ordered by the
commander of a department, the original proceedings will
be transmitted to such quarters, whence they will be fur-
ther transmitted to the adjutant general, with a copy of
the orders made thereupon. See the 65th Art. of war.
13. Tbc original proceedings of a court are not the
rough minutes kept by the judge advocate, or recorder;
but those finally authenticated by the signatures of the
president and judge advocate, (or recorder,)
14. The proceedings of all courts, which are, findlly, to
go to general head quarters, as above, will be made on
letter paper. The record of the trial of an officer will not
include that of an enlisted man. The trial of a soldier,
sentenced, capitally, will also be reported separately.
15. The receipt of all official communications trans-
mitted t3 inferiors, if of a special nature, will be prompt-
ly acknowledged. Orders, or circulars, of a general or

ctata for all estimates, and will be tralrsmittcd, with them,
to the paymaster gene17J , on the above-mcntioncd days,
or as soon thereatter as the payments can be completed9
accompanied with an abstract, showing the disposition of
funds previously transmitted, and the accounts and vouch-
ers for the last payment. The accounts will be examined
by the paymaster general in detail, and the items com-
l

pared with the laws and regulations to cheek the misap-

plication of funds appropriated for specific objects ; when
they will he turned over by him to the proper accounting
oficer, with his remarks and report thereon, for final
scttleinent.
5, OII application of the paymaster general, the abstract
returns of local commanders, furnisbed to paymasters,
will be compared with the regular army returns, by the
adjutant general or 0Bicer doin,@that duty9 who will coun-
tersign the same, and furnish explanatory notes when ,thc

the second auditor, who is charged with the scttlemont of
pay accounts, to conntcrsign the abstracts of the espcndi-
tures of former remittances, or furl&h notes of cxplana-
tion and reasons for the delay, wbcn the accounts are not
adjusted and settled. On tl~c.cstimatcs of paymasters, the _
abstract returns of commanding oficcrs, countersigned by
the acljutant genera!, and the abstract of disbuWements,
countersigned by the auditor, the paymaster general will
make his requisition on the secretary of WW, who will
issue his warrant for such sum as may be deemed proper
for the next remittance and payment, Notice will bc im-
mediately given, by the paymaster general, to the pay-
master in whose favour a remittance is made, of the
amount, and the place of deposit; of all which, he will, at
the same time, advise the commanding o&cr of the de-
partment, regiment, or corps, to which such paymaster is
assigned.
6. Expenditures of public money by paymasters, for

9. Whenever the proper authority shall direct that any
non-commissioned oficcr, musician, or private, shall be
dischargcci, on account of the expir&on of enlistment,
surgeons r:eWicate of wound or disability, or other cause,
the conmn~nling officer of the company to which he be-

stopped will be entered on the muster-roll, the descrip-
Gve list given to soldiers detached from their companies,
and on the certificates given at the time of discharge.
Expenses incurred in apprehending deserters are also to
be stopped from their pay9 when they are convicted hy a

I 1. When a soldier of the regular army has clothing
due him at the time of his discharge, he shall receive pay
from the paymaster for the same, The estimated value
and cost of such authorized articles will be taken from
the annual list of the commissary of purchases, to be fur-
nished annually. See Table I, -4rt. 70.
1.2. As no stoppages can be made from the pay of enlist-
ed men, except by scntencc of general or regimental courts
martial, or by the consent of the individual; whenever
such sentences are awarded, either for the loss or injury
of clothing or public property, or the bounty and expense
of apprehending deserters, it is made the duty of officers
approving such sentences, to cause the commanding offi-
cers of companies, to which such men belong, to be forth-
with officially advised of the facts, by extracts from the
records of the courts and the ordersapproving the same,
that the proper entries may he made on, the muster and
pay rolls, for the information and guidance of paymasters.
1% All officers, previous to receiving payment, on leav-
ing the service, will furnish the paymaster with the certi-
ficates of the second and third auditors, or with their own
afidavits, taken before the proper civil authority, that
they have no unsettled accounts with, and are not indebt-
ed to, the United States. Such affidavits, designating the
date of acceptance of resignations, or removal from ser-
vice, will accompany the last pay accounts of each officer,
and wiI1 he filed with them, by the paymaster, as vouchers
in the settlement of such accounts. The reason of this
deviation will be found in the fact, that when oflicers have
left the army, they are no longer bound by the militai*y
laws. and regulations, which before furnished checks in
subjecting them to trial and disgrace by sentence of courfa
martial,

The spaces in the Prescription Book are to be filled UP with the prescriptions at length, the times of administering the
medicines, and the quantities to be given at each time. The diet of the patients will be divided into full, half, and few, to
be designated in the Diet Book by the letters k,* H, and L; and in order that the steward may have precise instructions for
delivering the Hospital Stores, &c. the SU~+~CO~ shall, from time to time, insert in the Diet Book, written directions of the
quantity of each article in his, Store-room, which lye may think necessary to ertch degree of diet. To ea& ten patients, for
example, on low diet, a certam quantity of tea, sugar, &C. To each ten on half diet, a certain quantity of rice, milk, kc.
These proportions would soon become famiilar to the steward, who has only to refer to the letters in the Diet IZook, to
ascertain the whole quantity of any article to be de~iverrd for the day, as well as the quantity for each ward. When any
liquor is directed, or any other article not contained in these general instructions of the surgeon, the precise,quantity
directed for each patient will be noted in the Diet Book. The Diet Tables are to be filled up daily from the Diet Book,
and hung up in each ward of a General Hospital, to prevent difficulty and disputes among the patients and attendants.

cammissioned officer, to perform the details of the service
