MEMORANDA.-June 28, 1865.-The order of June 5 relative to
dismounted volunteer cavalry (see Circular No. 26, current series)
was revoked for the Middle Military Division and Major-General
Sheridan's command, and instead it was ordered: That a limited
number of cavalry regiments having the shortest time to serve be
dismounted and mustered out by entire organizations (under General
Orders, No. 94, current series, from this office), and the horses thus
obtained taken to mount the dismounted cavalrymen of regiments
having the longest terms to serve. The number of regiments to be
dismounted to be determined by the number of dismounted men of
the long-termed organizations.
A like revocation was also ordered for other armies and depart-
ments, provided the said order of June 5 had not been executed.

Assistant Adjutant- General.

PENALTIES FOR NEGLECT OF DUTY AND DISOBEDIENCE OF ORDERS
ON THE PART OF COMMISSIONED OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF TROOPS
ABOUT TO BE DISCHARGED THE SERVICE.
In many instances delays have resulted in paying mustered-out
troops in consequence of regimental and company officers allowing
their men to disband, in violation of orders, prior to their commands
being reported for payment and final discharge to the chief muster-
ing officer or his assistant, after arrival at the designated State ren-
dezvous. In other cases there has been delay from company and
regimental officers neglecting to furnish full data relative to the
enlisted men, thus rendering the muster-out rolls imperfect and neces-
sitating corrections.
With the arrangements of the War Department, as now completed,
there need be no delay, and consequently no hardship or inconven-
ience to the enlisted men, if full data for the rolls be furnished in the
field, and if, after arrival in their respective States, as well as during
transit thereto, commissioned officers look closely after the comfort
and interests of their men and remain constantly with them, so as to
enforce orders and control them.62
