1. Apperance:
The four companies of the 32nd Iowa that we a part of Marmadukes time period were constantly being moved from one part of SE Missouri to the other. So, we need to be dirty. Please do not show up with spotless uniforms. They need to show some wear but nothing like a March to the Sea impression.
First Person:
We will maintain first person 100% of the time. If you need to talk about modern issues please leave the camp area and talk in hush tones. The officers and NCO's will enforce this. I do not want to hear about what is on the AC, WWII, Star Wars, College Football(myself and one other Nation Boy are letting tickets to the Iowa game go this weekend. We are just as interested in college football as you are) or anything else.
2. Tents/Gear:
Shelter tents are wanted. Please bring your shelter tent if you have one.
Please review the uniform guidelines for this event. Knapsacks are mentioned but you may use a bedroll if you like. Make sure you wear your gear appropriately.
3. Ammo:
Each participant is expected to bring 100 rounds of ammunition. (This is from battalion) Each should be packaged with percussion caps. You will keep your rounds on your persons.
4. NCO'S:
Each NCO needs to have the appropriate chevrons. You can buy these from a variety of providers.
Each NCO needs to have a blank book, pencil and at least one candle.
You will not need NCO trousers for this. NO Trouser Stripes Please!
Sergeants: Please bring your sergeants tools. That is if you have one.
Corporals: Be ready to work and take care of your boys.
5. Supplies:
We are still in need for a variety of supplies.
Shovels: At least four-six (please have some sort of sling)
Spades: At least four-six (please have some sort of sling)
Axes: We need eight. (please have some sort of sling)
Ammo Boxes: We need four to six.
Rope
6. Inspection:
Before we start off on Friday we will inspect all Co.A gear.
Here is a list of things we will not allow:
Wedding rings (I have not yet seen one image of an Iowa soldier wearing a gold wedding band)
Modern eye wear
Modern jewelry
No Cameras
Modern tobacco products (Modern Chew, Cigarettes)
Basically if I have to list anything else you should not be in our company.
7. Manuals:
Please review:
Casey's Infantry Tactics
Mahan's Outpost
We will have picket posts and skirmish so read up. Del Bello's source is a good start.
8. Into the Piney Woods:
By being in this company you are now invited to be in our company for Into the Piney Woods. Tim Arnold, Preston Todd, Scott Busenbark and Skip Owens and I will meet sometime during the event to discuss Into the Piney Woods.
