Section 1.—General Notes.

1. Basis of establishment and outfit.—The tables containedin this Manual are drawn up on the basis of a campaign in acivilized country, and in a temperate climate. When mobilization

is for a campaign under different conditions, certain modifications

will become necessary, and will be notified from the War Office.*

2. War establishment.—The normal war establishment of aninfantry battalion, showing its composition as regards personnel

and animals, is given in Section 2, and no men or horses in excess

of the u total battalion " will be allowed to accompany the unit in the

field, except as provided for in para. 9 and footnote.t

The transport officer shown in italics (p. 8), is not included as

such in the total battalion, but forms part of the company estab-

lishment of officers.

For purposes of administration, the details of battalion head-quarters including the machine gun section (other than the

battalion commander, senior major, adjutant, medical officer andqua itermaster) are posted to companies of the battalion as super-

numerary to the establishment of platoons. Their distribution is

at the discretion of the battalion commander, but should be so

arranged that the numbers so posted to companies shall beapproximately equal.

With the exception of the warrant officer and staff Serjeants, the

details of the battalion headquarters and machine gun section

(other than officers) will sleep and mess with their companies, or

otherwise as the battalion commander may direct.

3. Transport.—The transport of a battalion is shown after its warestablishment. The transport is divided in the field as follows :

1st line.—(which always accompanies the battalion on the

march) : S.A.A. and water carts ; G.S. limbered wagonsfor tools ; Maltese cart ; limbered wagon for machineguns

;pack and spare animals ; and cooks' wagon or

travelling kitchens.

Train transport (under the A.S.C.) : G.S. Wagons.The four G.S. wagons, train transport, are numbered con-

secutively and allotted as follows :

details, and No. 2 carries for " C " and " D " companiesand attached details. In addition the wagons share the

balance of regimental equipment, not belonging to

companies.Supply seotion.—Nos. 3 and 4, supplies.

of supplies will be found in War Establishments andAllowance Regulations ; medical equipment in Regulationsfor the Medical Services of the Army.

(d) Stationery.—The stationery considered necessary for aninfantry battalion in the field is shown in " Tables of Books,

. Army Forms and Stationery taken into the field by units

of the Expeditionary Force," issued with Army Orders.

A list of contents is pasted inside the lid of each stationery

box.

9. Blankets.—Blankets for personnel are not included in the

normal scale of war outfit ; but, when specially ordered, one blanket

per man will be carried. This necessitates an addition of two G.S.

wagons to the normal scale of transport ; the extra personnel, horses

and vehicles required, are shown in a note on the War Establishmenttable (page 11). The blankets may be distributed, as found con-

venient, between the additional G.S. wagons and Nos. 1 and 2

G.S. wagons allotted for the carriage of baggage and stores.

10. Replenishment of stores.—General requisites, such as spare

parts, and materials for repair, are calculated on the assumption that

it will be possible to replenish them at intervals of about a

fortnight.

11. Mobilization.—The arrangements for bringing a battalion upto War Establishment in men and horses, and for the completion of

its war outfit are laid down in Mobilization Regulations.

Orders for movement, when mobilization is complete, will be

issued from the War Office to General Officers Commanding-in -

Chief.

Section 6.-CART AND WAGON LOADS.

The distribution of the loads carried by transport vehicles,

shown in this section, has been arrived at after a series of packingtrials, and a departure from it would only be justified by excep-tional circumstances.

For purposes of calculation, the approximate load for a G.S.wagon with 2 heavy draught horses has been taken as 3,000 lbs.

The weights of individual items in the loads, of different marks of

wagons, and of individual wagons of the same Mark may be foundto vary.

The articles of " wagon equipment " ; and such articles of the"loads" as luggage saddles, spare whee's and poles, &c, whichare required for general transport purposes, will at all times remainwith the vehicles and are not to be left with the unit whenvehicles return to refil.
