316 HISTORY OF THE 151ST FIELD ARTILLERY
As fast as the transportation is made available, each regimental and divisional supply train will be divided into two sections, each section carrying one
day's rations and forage —the creation of dumps enroute will not be permitted. (Administrative Memorandum No.10, November 13, 1918, 3rd Army
Corps).
(f) ANIMALS. It is hereby made the specific duty of all officers and
soldiers to see that the greatest care is taken of the animals belonging to this
command on the march. All animals will be fed three times daily, unless the
conditions of the march prohibit the third meal and all animals wild be groomed
twice daily. The grooming in the morning to be such as to remove the dirt
accumulated by lying down during the night. In the evening all animals will
be thoroughly groomed, to include the legs, pasterns and heels. The dirt will
be removed from the soles of the feet. In mounted organizations one officer
for each 100 animals or fraction thereof will be present during the grooming.
In dismounted organizations having animals under their charge the grooming
(at every picket-line) will be supervised by an officer. In all camps a picketline guard will be maintained. This guard will be of sufficient strength to see
that no forage is wasted. Watering will always be under the supervision of at
least one officer, but as many officers as are necessary will be detailed for this
duty to prevent confusion, etc., during the watering. This duty will be carried
on in a systematic manner and will receive the direct attention of all commanding officers. All officers and soldiers mounted will be required to dismount at all halts and allow the animals to rest. Packs carried on animals
will be of sufficient length to permit their breaking in the center and the center
pack-strap on all saddle-packs will be tightly buckled in order to prevent the
pack resting on the backbone of the animal. Harness and horse equipment
will be kept free from dirt and mud by daily washing. Oil and saddle soap
will be used as often as needed —at least once every ten days. Harness will
be carefully adjusted under the supervision of a competent officer. (G.O.
No.45, November 15, 1918, 3rd Army Corps, Par.2.)
Wagons will not be overloaded. Only authorized equipment will be
loaded on animal drawn vehicles. Only the driver will be allowed to ride on
loaded vehicles except when a brakeman is necessary. Men will be required
to give animals needed assistance on hills and in rough places. (G.0.47, Nov.
17, 1918, 3rd Army Corps.)
(,g) TRANSPORTATION, MATERIEL AND EQUIPMENT. Wagons, carts, caissons and gun carriages will be cleaned daily. Rolling kitchens will be kept
free from grease and mud and will be cleaned daily. Clothing and equipment
will be kept as clean as the circumstances of the march permit. Shoes will
be kept oiled and extra shoes oiled' and free from dirt. (G.0.45, November 15,
1918, 3rd Army Corps).
(h) HALTS, BILLETS.
1. Billeting Officers. Each organization down to include companies
will at once designate an officer who will act as billeting officer for the organization. This officer will be responsible for the proper arrangements with the town
major or senior billeting officer for the proper billeting of his organization.
He is charged with making out the necessary forms for settling the billeting
accounts and for any claims made against the organization. In each town occupied in which there is no permanent town major, the senior billeting officer
(that is, the officer representing the commanding officer of the town or cantonment) will perform the duties of town major. He will take command of all
of the billets in the town in the name of the commanding officer and will. make
the division of billets for all organizations billeting in the town. He will be
responsible that this division is equitably made. The office of the German
town major should be visited at once and every use made of any records or
information obtainable. (Administrative Memorandum No.ll, 3rd Army Corps,
November 15, 1918, Par.4.)
2. Sanitation. Special attention will be paid to camp and billet sanitation. Surroundings must be clean. Sanitary latrines will be dug and used
