EEPOET OF CAPT. GEORGE B. M'CLELLAN. 169 



In a brigade of foot artillery these guards consist, each, of 1 officer, 1 drummer, 3 sergeants, 

 and 20 men, at 200 paces from the batteries. 



They form in 3 ranks, and detach patrollers as a battalion of infantry. 



A single battery sends out an advanced and rear guard, each, of 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 

 6 men, at 100 paces from the battery ; they detach patrollers as prescribed for the advanced 

 and rear guards of a company of infantry. 



In most respects the rules laid down for the march of horse artillery apply to the case of foot 

 artillery. 



The detachments march at their posts ; but in deep snow, they are allowed to follow the pieces. 



OF ENCAMPMENTS. 



The encampments of infmtry may be arranged in two ways : in deep order, i. e. , in columns 

 of attack ; or with a deployed front. 



Plates 15, 16, and 17 show the order of encampment for regiments of 3 and 4 battalions, 

 in both ways. 



The encampments with a deployed front are used in warm climates, and especially in cases 

 where the troops are to remain a long time in the same place. 



The allowance of tents is as follows : 1 for every field officer, 1 for every 2 company officers, 

 1 for every 15 sergeants and privates, 2 tents for field guard, 2 for the camp guard, 1 for the 

 quarter guard. 



The details of encampments are as follows : 



1. The tents of the companies of each battalion are placed in the tactical order of battle. 



2. In the deep order, the tents of each company are in 4 ranks ; in the deployed order, they are 

 in 3 ranks. 



3. A square of 7 paces on each side is allowed for every tent. 



4. The intervals between the soldiers' tents are 4 paces. 



5. The camp lines are 3 lines of sods, occupying a width of 4 paces, placed at the distance 

 of 5 paces from the tents ; in the deployed order, they are only in front of the camp ; in the 

 deep order, in front and on the flanks of each battalion. 



6. The pyramids of arms, (PI. 13, fig. 4,) 16 for each battalion, are between the lines and 

 the tents. In deep order 6 pyramids are in front of each battalion, and 5 on each flank ; in 

 deployed order, there are 2 pyramids in front of each platoon. If the pyramids are not set up, 

 the arms are stacked, in good weather. 



7. In the centre of each battalion, on the line of pyramids, the drums are piled on a stand, and 

 the colors placed in a rack in front of them, (PL 13, fig. 5.) The drummers of the day place 

 their drums on a separate stand, on the left of the colors. 



8. In the deployed camp of a single battalion, or in the 2d battalion of regiments of 3 

 battalions, an interval of 20 paces is left between the platoons of the color company, for the 

 tents of the camp guard. 



9. The tents of the company officers are 7 paces in rear of the soldiers' tents. 



10. Five paces further in rear are the tents of the battalion commanders and the junior field 

 officers ; the battalion commanders in rear of tlie centre of the right wing, the others in rear 

 of the left wing of their respective battalions. 



11. The tent of the battalion adjutant is on the left of that of the battalion commander. If 



there is no junior field officer, the tent of the adjutant may occupy the place designated for 



that of the former.
