FIELD BATTALION, SIGNAL CORPS, TABLES OF ORGANIZATION AND 
 
 EQUIPMENT. 
 
 PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY. 
 
 1. There shall normally be but one accountable officer for equipment C of each 
 bureau of a field battalion and such officer will account on a separate return for all 
 articles listed in the following tables. He will be known as the battalion supply officer. 
 
 2. When different officers serve as supply officers of the different bureaus they will 
 be designated as "battalion quartermaster," "battalion signal officer," etc. Should 
 local conditions make it desirable or necessary to have an accounting officer for any 
 detachment serving separately from its parent organization, one may be designated 
 for that purpose and the articles of equipment C that pertain to such detachment will 
 be transferred to the designated accountable officer of the detachment, but as soon as 
 the conditions making this separate accountability necessary cease, the account will 
 be closed by transferring back to the unit supply officer of the parent organization 
 the accountability for the property which had been carried separately. 
 
 3. Companies or detachments will hold on memorandum receipt from the supply 
 officer of the battalion articles of equipment C prescribed in the following tables as- 
 provided in regulations and orders. (See Quartermaster Regulations and Par. I., G, 
 O. No. 6, War Department, 1916.) 
 
 4. Under normal peace conditions the organizations will keep their equipment C 
 as prescribed complete and in serviceable condition. If ordered for field duty, this 
 full equipment will be taken to the mobilization and concentration points. If ordered 
 on active field duty, where equipment B and equipment A not required for actual 
 strength can not be taken, it will be disposed of by the battalion supply officer as 
 conditions require, by turning it into a camp supply officer or depot, or by disposing 
 of it as otherwise ordered. The same course will be followed at any time during active 
 field service, should equipment become surplus. 
 
 5. The battalion supply officer will obtain replenishment of equipment C by fur- 
 nishing the post, camp, division, depot, or other proper supply officer in exchange for 
 articles of replenishment, either unserviceable articles worn out through fair wear 
 and tear, or properly approved inventory and inspection report, survey report, state- 
 ment of charges or certificate of expenditure. 
 
 6. When, in compliance with competent orders equipment C has been reduced by 
 any part of it being invoiced by the battalion supply officer to another accountability, 
 it will be replaced by the battalion supply officer certifying the facts on his requisition. 
 If equipment C has been increased in any way above that prescribed, the supplies, 
 when no longer necessary, will be invoiced to some accountable officer at the first 
 opportunity. 
 
 7. Replenishment of equipment C will habitually be obtained through the battalion 
 supply officer, but no entry of the transaction will be made in his account unless nec- 
 essary. In emergencies, an organization commander may obtain replenishment by 
 any of the methods prescribed for the battalion supply officer, but when such action 
 is taken he will promptly report the transaction to the battalion supply officer. 
 
 8. All garrison equipment and other Government property (including ammunition 
 for target practice), except equipment C, will be held by organization commanders 
 on memorandum receipt from the post or other supply officers. If ordered to field 
 duty, all articles of the garrison equipment held on memorandum receipt by orgauiza-

 Hem Tviii 1><g tu5ae(? ^v<^i i6th.Q post supply officer, and none of it will be taken with 
 the oiganization, except as may be specially ordered by the next higher commander. 
 
 9. When a battalion is separated from a supply depot and the situation demands 
 a reserve stock on hand, such reserve will be accounted for on the same return and 
 in the same way as equipment C, but so soon as the necessity for carrying this reserve 
 stock ceases the surplus will be invoiced to the proper accountable officer. The 
 f act of having on hand a reserve will not be authority to issue on memorandum receipt 
 to a company or other smaller organization any property in excess of its prescribed 
 equipment C. If articles not listed as part of equipment C are necessary they will 
 likewise be carried on the same return, but as soon as a post, depot, or camp supply 
 officer is designated, such property will be invoiced to him. 
 
 10. Returns for property for which the battalion supply officer is accountable will 
 be made according to existing regulations and orders.

 Fuel allowances: 
 
 Fuel is obtained as needed, which on the march will ordinarily be from day to day. It is not therefore 
 prescribed as baggage. The amounts of fuel shown in the tables of allowances are based on require- 
 ments for average conditions. In certain instances the full allowances given Avill be in excess of actual 
 requirements, in which case only such quantities as are actually required will be issued. Where 
 conditions require the issue of allowances in excess of that shown, autnority must be obtained from 
 the department commander or commanding general in the field. 
 The prescription in the foregoing tables to the effect that the allowances of fuel for heating purposes 
 will be fixed by the commanding general (or division commander) contemplates that the organiza- 
 tions are integral parts of a division on the march or in camp. Under other circumstances, the 
 allowances for heating purposes should be fixed by the commanding officer.
