West Point (N.Y.) -- Guidebooks
1. All Cadets, with the exception hereinafter mentioned, will confine
themselves to the Encampment. Cadets will always hold themselves in
readiness for such extra roll calls as the Officer in Charge may be
directed to have during his tours. On these occasions, the Assembly
will be sounded on the drum, when each man for duty in each company
will appear promptly on the company Parade Ground. The companies will
be formed without further signal by command of the Sergeants, the
rolls called, and the results immediately reported through the proper
channels to the Officer of the Day.
2. Cadets will be permitted to wear their fatigue jackets, and their
coats unbuttoned, in the body of the Encampment. When the Guard are in
fatigue jackets the Battalion will wear the same to meals.
3. There will be one corporal and four privates detailed daily from
each company for company Police. A separate Roster for this purpose
will be kept, and this detail made from the Third and Fourth Classes.
The company Police party will be formed by the corporal on the company
ground, at morning and evening Police roll calls, when the company
ground, and the ground behind the tents, including the company
Officer's Tents, will be thoroughly policed. The corporal of the
company Police will be held responsible for the proper police of the
company grounds at all Inspections, and also that the Tent Walls of
the Tents, when all the occupants are necessarily absent, are raised
and lowered at the proper times. He has authority to call on his
party at any time, for purposes connected with the Police of his
company.
4. The Guard, on the day succeeding that on which it marched off, will
constitute the General Police, and will be formed by the Junior
Officer of the Guard, on the General Parade Ground, at morning and
evening Police calls, and will police those parts of Camp not policed
by the company Police party.
5. The Senior Officer of the Guard, on the day succeeding that on
which he marched off, will be Camp Officer of the Police for that day,
and will report his presence to the Officer of the Day at all roll
calls of companies. He will have general charge of the Police of Camp,
will inspect the Police parties when at work, see that they are all
present, and that they perform their duties properly.
6. The Officers of the Police will not dismiss their parties until
after their work has been inspected by the Camp Officer of the Police,
and not until he has expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which
it has been done. Should he deem it necessary, at any time during his
tour, to turn out the Police parties for duty, they will promptly obey
his orders.
7. All Details for Guard, company Police, etc., will be posted on a
Bulletin Board, at the Tents of the 1st Sergeants of the companies.
