| The trains conveying troops are
hereafter to start and run upon the time of the schedule. It will be
necessary, therefore, for the regiments to be prompt in their
movements from the camps to the depots, so as not to cause delay.
Baggage must be reduced whenever a regiment receives marching
orders, and but one trip of the baggage wagons will be allowed from
camp to the railroad. The following is the allowance of
transportation for that purpose, which in no case will be exceeded:
For each company one wagon, and for the field and staff of regiments
five wagons. All surplus baggage must be stored in the city before
departure. The quartermaster will see that the baggage arrives at
the depot at least one hour before the time of starting the train.
This rule will also apply to the transportation of all ordnance and
ordnance stores. |
