river the 21, the other on Sandy river the 23; and the 3. Regiment the 26, days of said month; at such places as the commanding Officer of each Regiment shall appoint; which they will report to the Brigadier- General.
The manoeuvre of the day, to be performed by each Battalion, in addition to the inspection, review, manual exercise, & wheelings, will be, to form column by plat- toons by the right, the right in front, to display it again to the left.
Each Regiment will form two Battalions; and where there are ten Companies, the two eldest Captains' Companies will act as light Infantry; that is, they will take post on the flanks of the Regiment, & will not interfere with the exercise or manoeuvres of the Battalion; but when the Battalion is forming column they will advance under the direction of their own Officers and cover it, and keep up a promiscuous fire until the column is displayed, when they will retire to their first position on the flank of the Battalion. Where there are only nine Companies in a Regiment, the first Captain's Company only will be selected to act as light Infantry, & in case no Artillery is present, will take post on the right.
