United States. But remember that discipline alone can make you formidable – without it, numbers will rather lessen than increase your strength – Show yourselves therefore worthy of the high confidence reposed in you by your country, by a full display of your military virtues.

The commanding officers of the corps will be particularly attentive to their returns, that they be accurate and made in due time – those of the cavalry and artillery, as well as of the infantry. The Major-generals will see that their respective divisions are completely organized, and will issue their orders for the annual musters and review, as the law directs. In every division, where the Major-general is absent or there is a vacancy in that office, the senior Brigadier-general will take the command of the division, and execute all the functions of a Commanding officer thereof during such absence, or until the office of Major-general shall be filled.

The Quartermaster-general will supply the companies of artillery with the necessary laboratory stores, and each of them with fifty pounds of powder for the year, to be expended at the several musters, as the General officers shall direct.

By order of the Commander in chief, William Donnison, Adjutant General
