Commanders of divisions and detached brigades will immediately
send a sufficient detail back to the supply train to bring forward five
days' rations for their respective commands. If possible, a portion of
these rations should be brought forward in wagons, after they have
been lightened by the detail. Arrangements should be made to bring
bread in sacks, and boxes should not be carried on horses, except in
extreme cases. This will be promptly attended to, and these head-
quarters will be notified when the rations are issued to the men.
