General duties of chief ordnance officers.7~Thei genei-al duties of chief ordnance officers in time of war are to make sucli arrangements for the organization of the ordnance service as will insure the prompt and economical supply of all the ordnance material necessary for the efficient execution of the plans of the commander of the troops. Orders of a general nature will usually be given chief ordnance officers by the commander. It remains their duty to provide the means for the efficient execution of the orders and to supply such details as are necessary. 2. Reports as to needs of the troops. — A chief ordnance officer of an army or army corps, or a division ordnance officer when the division is acting separately, will report as often as may be necessary to the Chief of Ordnance, through military channels, as to the present and probable future needs of the troops. He will also make such suggestions for the improve- ment of the efficiency of the ordnance stores or the ordnance service as require the action of higher authority. oiiJ // j,-;::;^.: 5 8 DVCIFS OF ORDNANCE OFFICERS. 3.

He will also give prompt information as to the present and probable future needs of his division. He will, as the ord- nance representative of the division commander, see that all proper requisitions for ordnance material are either promptly filled from stores under his control or promptly transmitted to higher authority, as the case may demand. He will see that all ordnance equipment in his division is maintained in a high state of efficiency and Will make such recommendations to the commanding officer of the division as may be necessary to insure this result. 4.

Duties of chief ordnance officer of an army corps. — The duties of a chief ordnance officer of an army corps are similar to those of a division ordnance -officer, but are larger in scope. The Field Service Regulations (see par. 357, F. S. R., 1914) pre- scribe that a base and a line of comnninications shall be estab- lished for each important force about to engage in field opera- tions.

Camp depots will be under the direction of division or camp commanders for €lis- cipline, protection, and coordination of supply within their divi- sions or camps. Organizations will requisition supplies from their own camp depots. 16. Duties in case of depot being on the line of commnnica- tions. — The duties of the commanding officer of an ordnance depot on the line of communications comprise the necessary provisions for the prompt supply of arms, ammunition, and equip- ment to depots or subdepots in his front or to division trains as may be required. He will also make such provisions for the cleaning, preserving, and repairing of ordnance material in the hands of troops in the field as may be practicable. 17. Duties in case of depot being independent of the line of communications. — The duties of the commanding officer of an ordnance depot independent of the line of communications comprise the necessary provisions for the prompt supply of arms, ammunition, and equipment to the troops whom he is serving, and for the cleaning, preserving, and repairing of ordnance ma- terial in the hands of the troops so far as is practicable. 18. Office personnel and supplies. — For the proper perform- ance of the duties with which the commanding officer of an ordnance depot is charged, he will be supplied with the necessary assistants, tools, and supplies, comprising — (a) An office force and detachment consisting of ordnance sergeants and other enlisted men of ordnance as prescribed in the Tables of Organization. (6) Office and storehouse supplies, (c) Reserve ordnance and ordnance supplies. When an ordnance depot is established for a larger force or on the line of communications, the personnel and supplies of various kinds will be varied to suit the circumstances of the case. Depots of this kind may be formed by a consolidation of two or more division depots. 19. Office and storehouse space and personnel ; supplies for troops. — The commanding officer of a depot should make ar- rangement for the necessary office and storehouse space, calling upon the Quartermaster Corps for the erection of temporary buildings if other space is not available.

For the execution of the necessary work of repairing ordnance material he will utilize the services of the ordnance detail at- tached to his depot, as authorized in the tables of organization. He will, by timely requisition, keep on hand a sufficient stock of stores to properly supply the troops authorized to requisition from his depot. He will ascertain, if practicable, the plans and intentions of the War Department and of the commander of the camp with reference to the troops with whose supply he is charged, to the end that he may supply in advance arms, am- munition, and supplies required for the execution of the plans. 20. Instructions concerning certain duties. — An officer hav- ing been appointed as commanding officer of an ordnance depot on the line of communications or of a depot established inde- pendently of the line of communications should, immediately after reporting at the designated place, ascertain the wishes of the chief ordnance officer concerned as to the location of the depot. The latter officer is presumed to have informed himself already of the wishes of the commander of the line of com- munications, or of the troops, as to the location of the depot. In the case of a base depot a large margin of room for expansion should be allowed. The commanding officer of the depot will then proceed to make his arrangements, under the direction of the chief ordnance officer concerned, as prescribed for the com- manding officer of an ordnance depot at a camp of concentra- tion. It is not to be expected, however, that this commanding officer of an ordnance depot on the line of communications, or serving troops directly, will be required to make heavy issues of field and siege artillery material, arms, and equipment. His heaviest issues will be ammunition for mobile artillery and for small arms. The commanding officer of the depot should be informed through the chief ordnance officer concerned as to the plans and intentions of the commander of the troops whom he is serving, so that he may provide in advance the ordnance material required for the execution of the plans. 21. Captured and abandoned ordnance and ordnance stores. — The commanding officer of an ordnance depot will re- ceive and account for all captured and abandoned ordnance and ordnance stores. In case this material can be utilized by the troops he will issue it on receiving instructions to that effect. Section IV. COMMANDING OFFICERS OF GENERAL SUPPLY ORD- NANCE DEPOTS. Paragraph.

Eequisitions for property for troops in actiye oper- ations against an enemy. — When troops are engaged in active operations against an enemy, requisitions may be submitted orally to the ordnance officer whose facilities for making prompt issues are the greatest. In such cases the requiring officer will, whenever practicable, submit his requisition in the form of an invoice and receipt, each in duplicate, covering transfer of the articles desired, thus providing for a more expeditious issue of the property. 29. Transfers of condemned unserviceable ordnance prop- erty. — ^When troops are operating in the field in time of war transfers of unserviceable ordnance property which has been condemned and ordered turned in to a depot will generally be made to the nearest ordnance depot. 30. Procedure in case of property captured from an enemy. — ^When military stores similar to those supplied by the Ordnance Department have been captured from an enemy or found upon being abandoned by him, the officer securing the property will report the facts to the chief ordnance officer of the division, expedition, etc., concerned, who will make arrange- ments for turning the property in to the nearest ordnance depot, unless it can be used in operations against the enemy.
