ARTILLERY MOBILISATION. 
orders of the officer into whose district or command they pass, from the 
time they leave their peace station or place of mobilisation. 1 
Units allotted to garrisons are already fully informed of the station 
to which they are required to proceed, the barracks or camp they will 
occupy, and the staff officer with whom they are to communicate, under 
the local Defence Schemes. 
Units allotted to the Field Army will be informed on these points 
when they receive orders to mobilise, in the meantime (as regards Vol¬ 
unteer Batteries of Position) they are informed of the place to which 
they will be required to proceed on mobilisation, termed the “ Place of 
Concentration.” 
CHAPTER VIII. 
Defence Schemes. 
It is not intended to go into the question of Defence Schemes in this 
chapter, any further than is necessary to explain the manner in which 
guns and personnel of the artillery are dealt with for purposes of local 
defence. 
Guns. 
The guns to be considered may belong to any one of the following 
categories :— 
(a.) Fortress guns mounted in fixed positions. 
( b .) Movable armament of a fortress. 
(c.) Siege Train Company equipment. 
(d.) Single guns of position on Volunteer charge, available for 
the defence of localities. 
(e.) Batteries of Position of Volunteer Corps. 
The scheme of defence in each district provides for the suitable allot¬ 
ment of the guns in categories b, c, d, &c., as regards the positions in 
which they are to be employed. 
Personnel. 
The Artillery Mobilisation Tables for each district should further 
allot the personnel necessary for working the guns in all the foregoing 
categories. 
Every officer concerned should be in possession of that portion of the 
tables which affects him, and also of the manning detail for the work 
of defence to which he is allotted. 
The following typical table will explain what is required, the names 
and figures being imaginary. 
In addition to a complete table, worked out on some such principle 
as follows, the allotment of the movable armament for the prelim¬ 
inary operations of the defence, the actual distribution of signallers, 
range-finders, &c., the allotment of the Regimental Staff Officers and 
officers who are to fill posts on the fighting artillery staff of the fortress, 
should all be clearly laid down in a tabulated form, so that there may 
be no doubt in the mind of any one as to the functions and responsi¬ 
bilities which will be vested in him on mobilisation.
