Re: 150th Battle of Fort McAllister Federal Company December 12-14, 2014
UPDATES!
Folks, Information from the Head Cheese has been sent.
1) We'll need 60 rounds for the event. I am confident you all can handle this.
2) Gear: Western Federal, period construction techniques, I think you all know this. I'll post the AG company guidelines soon.
3) Drill: We are using Casey's Manual. The major differences is the stacking of arms, where the firearm goes when loading, fixing/unfixing bayonets. Since some of us are bringing repeaters, I may just have you ground arms. Also, study up on skirmish drill. We'll be doing this.
Note: ***We are going to have company drill Friday. The most important aspect is placement when loading and firing. Safety in the ranks when firing is my Number 1 priority. The NCOs have free reign to correct issues as they see fit. We' aren't being jerks, we are making sure you all are safe.***
4) We will be participating in a Guard Mount scenario on Saturday after the battle scenario. Dom's manual is a great primer to review.
5) There will be some form of parade during the weekend. Part of army life that I haven't participated in since 2011 if you can believe it.
Get registered please! This isn't a walk on friendly event. AG men. This is a max effort event, I expect you to be signing up. Questions regarding the company? Ask away.
