DEFINITIONS. Field serv-lce includes service in any of tlie following cases: In cam- paign, simulated campaign, or on the march. In mobilization, con- centration, instruction, or maneuver camps. Equipment A, as referred to herein, is the equipment for use in cam- paign, simulated campaign, or on the march, and includes the articles then worn on the person, carried on horse or pack mule, and trans- ported in the wagons of combat trains and in the baggage section of field trains. Equipment B, as referred to herem, is the equipment which, in addi- tion to equipment A, is prescribed for the use of troops in mobiliza- tion, concentration, instruction, or maneuver camps, and during such pauses m operations against an enemy as permit of the better care of troops. Equipment B can accompany or follow troops only when other transportation — generally rail or boat — is available. Equipment C, as referred to herein, mcludes every article necessary for field service, and is therefore the sum of equipment A plus equip- ment B. Armory equiwnent, as referred to herem, includes those articles which are used Tor the purpose of armory instruction and for the care, preservation, and storage of property in armories, and which, ordi- narily, do not accompany the troops into the field. Articles distinctively for winter use are clearly mdicated herein as for that season only. Tlie}^ do not form a part of the field equipment unless specially ordered by proper authority. When troops are ordered to duty in campaign, simulated campaign^ or on the march, equipment A only, omitting articles for winter use, will be taken. Equipment B, with such additions or deductions as may be ordered by proper authority, will be packed and marked ready for shipment, and will be left at the post or camp or with the nearest quartermaster, or with a designated officer, to bo shipped as may then or subsequently be ordered. When troops are ordered to duty m mobilization, concentration, nstructiou, or maneuver camps, equipment C, with such modifications as may be ordered by proper authority, will be taken. During such pauses in operations as permit troops to be given more comforts than are practicable with equipment A only, the whole or part, as may be determined by proper authority, of equipment B should be brought up. Surplus hits of the men are not, in time of war, transported in the field or combat trains or taken along with troops on the march. They should, however, be ahvays included in such part of equipment B as may be in use by a command. Only so much of the equipment of the medical corps officers and the hospital corps enlisted men attached to the regiment is prescribed herein as is to be furnished by the regimental supply officers. 9 10 INFANTRY EQUIPMENT MANUAL. The yield train mentioned heroin refers to tlie regimental or separate ])attalion field train and does not include the part of the divisional sanitary train temporarily with a regiment in time of peace. The exiuipmcnt prescribed for the different units is based on the minimum strength given in Tables of Organization, Organized Militia, 1914. The equipment for the war strength of the Organized Militia is the same as that prescribed for the war strength of the Regular Army. Where a State maintams organizations of a strength in excess of the prescribed minimum strength the individual equip- ments of the men should be increased accordingly. Enlisted men detailed to serve in provisional organizations as acting noncommissioned officers, mounted orderlies, etc., are equipped for those duties. PRESCRIBED EQUIPMENT. The equipment prescribed for the Organized Militia, when equipped with which it will be considered as sufficiently armed, uniformed, and equipped for active duty in the field within the meaning of section 14 of the mditia law, is set forth in Part I of this manual. The equipment prescribed herein is for the mmimum strength as given in Tables of Organization, Organized Militia, 1914 (section VIII, Tables of Organization, United States Ai-my, 1914). Wliere organizations are recruited to a number above the minimum the number of articles of individual equipment will be increased accord- ingly. This number may be computed from Table of Individual Equipment given in Part II of this manual. The equipment for the Organized ^Iditia at war strength is pre- scribed m the tables of equipment for the United States Army. For equipment of the camp infirmary attached to a regiment of infantry sec Manual for the Medical Department. PART I. THE PRESCRIBED EQUIPMENT.

CARE OF PROPERTY. CLEANING AND CARE OF THE U. S. MAGAZINE RIFLE, CAL. .30. ■ After firin<:, the rifle should be cleaned not later than the evening of the day on which it was fired. If the cleaning be put off until the next day or later, rusting of the bore will result. If the bore be then cleaned, pitting ^\^ll be found when the rust is removed. For cleaning the rifle the folloudng materials are needed: Barrack cleaning rod (or jointed cleaning rod or thong and brush in the field). Recent issues of barrack cleaning rods arc long enough to permit of cleaning of the rifle from the breech. Cut flannel patches. These should be cut the correct size to fit over the tip of the rod and to pass through the boro with medium pres- sure. If they be too tight or of poor material, the rod may become stuck in the bore. A suitable alkaline solution. This may be ammonia, 28 per cent, or a saturated solution of sal soda and water. A saturated solution is made by dissohHng as much sal soda in water as the water mil take up without leaving a sediment in the bottom of the container. On account of the cost of the ammonia, sal soda should always be used except where it is found impracticable to clean the rifle again on the folloA\'ing day. Cosmic, No. SO, soft. This is the heavy grease issued in the annual allowance of cleaning materials. To clean the bore, remove the bolt from the rifle. Rest the muzzle of the rifle on a clean board or place in a cleaning rack. Saturate a flannel patch in the alkaline solution. With the fingers place it in the bolt well, centering it over the entrance to the chamber. Center the patch W'ith the tip of the cleaning rod and slowly push it into the bore. Run it back and forth through the bore, scrubbing the entire bore from breech to muzzle. Repeat this with several more patches wet with the alkahne solution, then immediately dry the bore and chamber with clean dry flannel patches, swabbing it in a similar manner. The alkaline solution must not be allowed to remain in or dry in the bore or rust will result. When the bore is dry and clean saturate a flannel patch Avith cosmic and thoroughly swab the bore with it, allowing a thick coating of cosmic to remain in the bore. Repeat this cleaning on the following day, first swabbing out all cosmic before using the alkaline solution. After cleaning the bore the exterior of the rifle should be wiped off with an oily rag. This should always be done after the rifle has been exposed to rain, snow, or very cold weather, and after being handled with sweaty hands. The bolt and mechanism of the rifle should be lubricated by wiping with a rag saturated in sperm oil. Occasionally the stock of the rifle should be treated to a coat of linseed oil, well rubbed in with the bare hand. 51 52 IKFAXTRY EQUIPMENT MANUAL. At formal iuspoctions all arms should bo perfectly clean and free from oil, inside and out, in order that the inspector may be able to determine their exact condition. Dirt and gummed oil may be removed from crevices and screw heads by aid of a small stiff paint- brush. After the inspection the bores of the rifles should be greased with cosmic, the niechanism lubricated, and the exterior oiled. Before firing the rifle wipe all oil from the bore and sights and blacken the sights in the smoke of burning camphor or the flame of a caudle. Paragraph 292, U. S. Army Regulations : Enlisted men will not take their arms apart except by permission of a commissioned officer under proper supervision, and only in the manner prescribed in the descrip- tive pamphlet of the arm issued by the Ordnance Department. The polishing of blued or browned parts of small arms, rebluing or rebrown- ing, putting any portion of an arm in a fire, or removing a receiver from a barrel is prohibited. The mutilation of any part by fiUng or otherwise, and attempts to beautify or change the finish, are prohib- ited. Pieces will be unloaded before being taken to quarters or tents, and as soon as the men using them are relieved from duty, unless otherwise ordered. The use of tompions (plugs, corks, or pieces of rag in the muzzle) in small arms is forbidden. The })rohibition in this paragraph of attempts to beautify or change the finish of arms in the hands of enlisted men is not construed as forbidding the application of raw linseed oil to the wood parts of the arm. This oil is considered necessary for the preservation of the wood, and it may bo used for such polishmg as can be given by rubbmg in one or more coats when necessary. The use of raw Imseed oil only will be allowed for redress- ing, and the application for such purpose of any kind of wax or var- nish, including heelball, is strictly prohibited. REMOVING METAL FOULING. When cleaning the rifle, after scrubbing the bore with the alkaline solution and wiping it dry and clean, and before oiling it with cosmic, hold the breech up to the light and examine the bore from the muzzle. If small flakes of metal, in appearance like flakes, smeai-s, or lumps of silver, appear on the rifling near the muzzle and for a few inches down the bore from the muzzle, this is metal fouling from the cupro-nickel jacket of the bullet and should be removed at once by an application of the metal fouling solution. Enlisted men will be instructed that whenever metal folding appears in their rifles they will immediately take the rifle to their quartermaster sergeant or artificer for the purpose of having this fouling removed. Its removal should not be delayed or the bore will become pitted under the metal foulmg. All company officers, quartermaster sergeants, and artificei-s will be made familiar with the method of removmg metal fouling. The metal fouling solution consists of: Ammonia, 28 per cent ounces. . 6 Water... '. do. . . . 4 Ammonium persulphate do 1 Ammonium carbonate grains . . 200 The carbonate and })ersulphate should fii-st be pulverized and mixed together, and the ammonia (28 per cent) and water added. One ounce of ammonium persul})hate equals two medium heapmg spoonfuls. Two hundred grains of ammonium carbonate equals one medium INFANTHV EQUIPMENT MANUAL. 53 heaping sj)()oiirul. The spoon leferrecl to is the s])ooii issued by tlic; Orchiance Department as a part of the individual mess outfit of the sohlier. This solution is sufficient to fill about seven barrels. It cuii be used twice, but used solution should not be mixed with iniiised. 'I^he following precautions should be observed: The various l)ottles containing the ingredients of tlie solution should alwa3's be kept tightly corked and in a cool place. The solution should alwaj's be freshly ])repared. It will keej) about a month if kept in a cool place, tightly corked in the patent stoppered bottles in which the ammonia (28 per cent) is supplied provided the bottle is always kept tightly corked except when actually j)Ouring it out. It weakens quickly, and in some cases becomes danger- ous to the bore of the rifle if ex})ose(l to the air. Never use the solution in a hot harrel. If the rifle is to he cleaned soon after firing always allow it to cool first. Do not allow the solution to get into the mechanism of the rifle or on the stock. It will rust the steel if allowed to evaporate on it, and will burn the wood of the stock. Always wipe every trace of oil from the bore before using the solution. To apply the solution: The barrel of the rifle being cold, remove the bolt, floor plate, magazine spring, and follower. Place a rubber cork tightly in the chamber so as to perfectly seal the chamber near its forw^ard end, and slip a 2-inch length of rubber tube tightly over the muzzle of the rifle. Stand the rifle, muzzle up and barrel vertical, in a rack and carefully pour the solution into the bore until the bore is full and the solution rises m the rubber tube above the muzzle of the bore. Use extreme care in pouring in the solution not to spill any over th(^ exterior of the rifle or on the stock. Pour slowly. A glass funnel will facilitate. If any runs over the outside w^ipe it off at once. Let the solution remain in the bore for 15 minutes (under no circum- stances over 30 minutes). Then invert the rifle and pour it out. Kemove the cork and tube and immediately pour water through the bore, then swab the bore perfectly diy with clean, dry flannel patches. The solution should not be allowed to evaporate on the bore or rust will result. Unused solution is colorless, but as it dissolves the metal fouling it assumes a deep blue color. Blue color is always a sign that metal fouling, m more or less quantity, has been present. After diying the bore it should 1)e thoroughly coated with cosmic. CARE OF ARMS IN THE STOREROOM. The company ciuartermaster sergeant is responsible for the care of arms which are stored in the company storeroom, or which are not being habitually used by enlisted men. Such arms should be thoroughly cleaned before being placed in store, using the metal foul- ing solution if necessary. They should be thoroughly greased inside and out with cosmic. Cosmic may be painted on the exterior and ])arts of the mechanism with a small paint brush. They should be kept in arm chests or arm lockers under lock and key. Under no circumstances should they be kept in cloth or canvas covci-s, as the cover absorbs moisture and rusts the weapon. If the storeroom is not perfectly diy the arms in store should be examined periodically. 64 INFANTRY EQUIPMENT MANUAL. CLEANING OF THE .22 CALIBER GALLERY PRACTICE RIFLE. The bore of this rifle should be given especial attention, as if not properly cared for it deteriorates very rapidly and soon becomes unserviceable. While a small amount of pitting or rusting will not seriously affect the accuracy of the .30 caliber rifle, the same amount will ruin a .22 caliber barrel for accurate shooting, and no amount of subsequent care will restore its accuracy. As soon as possible after firing has ceased the bore should first be swabbed with a flannel patch saturated with ammonia, 28 per cent. The bore should then be thoroughly dried and cleaned with clean flannel patches until the patches no longer show dirt. It should then be greased with cosmic. This cleaning should be repeated on the following day. Should the bore show signs of leading it should be scrubbed when dry and clean with a .22 caliber cleaning brush, and then swabbed for some minutes with flannel patches heavily greased with mercurial ointment (blue ointment). When finally set away it should bo greased with mercurial ointment instead of with cosmic. Cartridge holders must be kept scrupulously clean to obtain accu- rate results. During the firing they may be occasionally dipped in gasoline for this purpose, taking care not to place a cartridge in them until the gasoline has evaporated on account of the efl'ect of the gaso- line on the outside lubrication of the cartridge. Guard them care- fully from blows or falls which mi^ht injure the muzzle, and from dust and dirt. Never allow them to oe ejected from the rifle onto the ground. At the end of the firing they should be thoroughly cleaned inside and out, dried and oiled with sperm oil. Should the gallery practice rifle repeatedly misfire this is probably caused by the point of the striker becoming blunt from striking against the steel firing pin of the cartridge holder, and the substitu- tion of a new striker will obviate the difficulty. CLEANING OF THE AUTOMATIC PISTOL, CALIBER .45. Draw back the slide and place a cork in the rear end of the chamber to prevent the alkaline solution from entering the mechanism of the pistol. Clean the bore of the pistol from the muzzle exactly as de- scribed for the .30 caliber rifle. Except when placed in store no heavy oil should be used on the mechanism of the pistol. Use sperm oil. Dust or dirt, combined A\Tith excessive oil, will cause the parts to gum and w^ork stiffly. CARE OF LEATHER EQUIPMENT. To preserve the life of leather equipments they should be cleaned whenever dirt, grit, or mud has collected on them, or when they have become wet. Climate, frequency of exposure to weather, and wear and tear due to ser^dce are so variable that no definite rule can be laid down as to the proper time for cleaning. The condition of the leather alone will determine this. So long as tlie leather is reasonably pliable, looks and feels well, no oil should oe used, and soap and polish sparingly applied. In cleaning, each part should be carefully washed with a sponge moistened %\-ith a thick lather made from clean water and castile soap, and then rubbed vigorously until it is thoroughly INFA2s'TEV EQUIPMENT MANUAI., 55 dry. If siirfuce polish is (Icsiivd, u|)))ly thick lather lundo froju clctir water and Frank ^liller's soaj), allow leather to dry and then rub thoroughly with a soft cloth. If leather becomes harsh and dry from exposure to wet or other cause, it will bo necessary to oil the equipment. Before oiling, the ('(juipment shonld be carefully washed as follows: Take a damp sponge, squeezed nearly dry, rub it on castile soap and manipulate to form a thick lather, apply lather to surface of leather, and let it stand until dry; when dry, remove with a clean damp sponge; spots particularly soiled may bo rubbed witli a moist soaped cloth. While the surface of the leather is still slightly moist from the w'ashing, apply the ncat's-foot oil with a cloth, moistened, but not wot or saturated, with oil. After the oil has been applied the equipment should be loft for some time — a day if practicable — and then thoroughly rubbed with a coarse dry cloth until the surface is clean. The treatment described above is all that is necessary to keep the eciuipment in excellent condition. Three or four times a year is gen- erally enough to oil leather under ordinary conditions of continuous service if the equipment is properly cared for. Under oxiceptional conditions of w^arm, moist climate or frequent whetting and drying, it should be oiled at shorter intervals, but great care should be taken to avoid excessive use or too frequent use of oil. If a polish only of personal leather equipment is desired the dressing supplied by the Ordnance Department should be used. Apply it sparingly to the entire surface and then rub briskly with a dry cloth. In no case should the leather be dipped in water or be placed in the sun to dry. CARE OF BLACK LEATHER HARNESS. To clean and dross black leather, w^ash it in water (lukewarm pre- ferred) with castile soap. An old horse brush will be found very satisfactory for applying the soap and w^ater. Dry in the shade; when almost dry apply the blacking, rubbing it in thoroughly. Dry in the shade and then apply noat's-foot oil wath a sponge or rag, rub- bing in well until the leather is soft and pliable. When dry, a certian amount of oil and blacking will exude from the leather; this should bo rubbed oflF with a dry cloth. All harness should be hung in reasonably dry and well ventilated storerooms, each sot by itself, and never left in packing boxes. CARE OF CLOTHING. Clothing issued to enlisted men should be cared for by the men themselves. Spots should always bo removed as soon as possible. Turpentine will take out paint. Grease spots can bo removed by placmg a piece of bro^vn paper, iiow^spapor, or other absorbent papov .>vor the stam and pressing with a hot iron; or, moisten a clean woolen rag with gaswino, ru]) the cloth briskly, and press with a hot iron. Clothing should be kept thoroughly brushed, and b\ the Organized Militia should bo pressed at least once a month. Gilt t)rnaments and buttons shonld be frequently polished, ])ut bronze ornaments and buttons should be merely wiped clean. 56 INFAXTBV EQUIPMENT MANUAL. To romovc dirt and mud from loggings, liayorsacks, canteens, and articles of web equipment, wait imtil dry, and then remove with a stiff brush, care being taken not to abrade the material. In no case should these articles bo washed or treated with any description of dressuig or other preparation. To remove grease spots or other stains, acids, alkalies, and other strong detergents should not bo used. For this purpose gasoline, when available in sufhcient quantities for complete immersion of the soiled material, gives the most satisfactory results. In default of this a suds made from w\ater and H. & II. soap (issued as a part of the cleanmg and preserving materials by the Ord- nance Department) will efi'ect a thorough cleaning. Sufficient suds should be provided to permit of the complete unmersion of the article. The soiled part is gently rubbed in clean water. The metal parts are all bronzed, and no effort should be made to polish them. Woolen articles, particularly those m the storeroom, should be carefully guarded against moths. This is best accomplished by pacldng them m chests lined first with tar paper, and with a covering of newspaper over the tar paper. Camphor or other moth prepara- tion should be liberally sprinkled between the articles, and the lid of the chest should fit tightly. No article shoidd be placed m a moth- proof chest until it has been thorouglily brushed and aired. If there is any doubt about the presence of moth eggs it should be gone over with gasoline. CARE OF SHOES. Ordmarily the only care necessary for shoes is to keep them clean and polished. Should the shoes become thoroughly wet they should be filled with dry oats, bran, or sand and dried m the shade; never near a fire. If the leather becomes hard, dry, or stiff the shoes should be given a slight coating of neat's-foot oil, well rubbed in. Too much oil on the shoes will interfere with a proper polish, and with some men may cause burned feet. For the proper fittmg of shoes to enlisted men, and the breakmg in of shoes see General Order No. 26, War Department, 1912. Every company should have a copy of this order on file. ' CARE OF AVAGOXS IN STORE. Wagons should be stored in dry buildings without heating plants — • never in steam-heated buildings. Before being used they should be thoroughly exammed to see that all parts and tires are tight. If the joints are loose the wagons should be put out in the rain or washed with quantities of water. Where there are signs of rust, the parts should be painted at once. After use repairs should be made before storing. Axles should be kept well greased at all times. PROTECTION FROM THEFT. The following paragraphs from Ordnance Property Regulations are cited for the information of those charged with the care of smal arms : 52. * * * A\'heii small arms are not in the possession of enlisted men for the performance of military duty, they are required to be locked in the arm racks or the ;irm lockers. The arm racks are intended for the safe-keeping of the small arms in daily use by the organization to which they have been issued, and the arm lockers for such arms as are not required to be issued frequently to enlisted men. INFANTKY EQUIPMENT MANUAL. 57 54. *..* * \\'hcn, for any reason, troops in the field arc not permitted to bo armed at all times, resjionsible officers will ha\e the j)istolri and revolvers safeguarded under conditions that will provide for their 8afe-kee2)ing. G7. The Organized Militia of the several .States, Territories, and the District of Columbia are required to have; arm racks and arm lockers on hand for the safe-keeping of the small arms issued to them and to see that every possible precaution is taken for their safe-keeping. G8. The several States, Territories, and the District of Columbia are required to provide suitable armories for the safe-keeping of ordnance property of the United States issued to them. Troops of the Organized Militia, unless they are serving in the field, are required to store the ordnance property issued to them in the armories provided for the purpose.
