Place the hood in the square iron which has been folded downward
toward the bottom of tent, and continue to fold around the square iron
as a core, pressing all folds down flat and smooth, and parallel with
the bottom of the tent. If each fold is compactly made and the canvas
kept smooth, the last fold will exactly cover the lower edge of the
canvas. Lay all exposed guys along the folded canvas except the two on
the center width, which should be pulled out and away from bottom edge
to their extreme length for tying. Now, beginning at one end, fold
toward the center on the first seam (that joining the first and second
widths) and fold again toward the center so that the already folded
canvas will come to within about 3 inches of the middle width. Then
fold over to the opposite edge of middle width of canvas. Then begin
folding from opposite end, folding the first width in half, then
making a second fold to come within about 4 or 5 inches of that
already folded, turn this fold entirely over that already folded. Take
the exposed guys and draw them taut across each other, turn bundle
over on the under guy, cross guys on top of bundle drawing tight. Turn
bundle over on the crossed guys and tie lengthwise.
When properly tied and pressed together this will make a package 11 by
23 by 34 inches, requiring about 8,855 cubic inches to store or pack.
Stencil the organization designation on the lower half of the middle
width of canvas in the back wall. (_C.I.D.R., Nos. 1 and 8._)

_Warning Calls._
804. _First call_, _guard mounting_, _full dress_, _overcoats_,
_drill_, _stable_, _water_, and _boots and saddles_ precede the
_assembly_ by such interval as may be prescribed by the commanding
officer.
_Mess_, _church_, and _fatigue_, classed as service calls, may also be
used as warning calls.
_First call_ is the first signal for formation for roll call and for
all ceremonies except guard mounting.
_Guard mounting_ is the first signal for guard mounting.
The field music assembles at _first call_ and _guard mounting_.
In a mixed command, _boots and saddles_ is the signal to mounted
troops that their formation is to be mounted; for mounted guard
mounting or mounted drill, it immediately follows the signal _guard
mounting_ or _drill_.
When full dress or overcoats are to be worn, the _full dress_ or
_overcoat_ call immediately follows _first call_, _guard mounting_, or
_boots and saddles_.
_Formation Calls._
805. _Assembly:_ The signal for companies or details to fall in.
_Adjutant's call:_ The signal for companies to form battalion; also
for the guard details to form for guard mounting on the camp or
garrison parade ground; it follows the _assembly_ at such interval as
may be prescribed by the commanding officer.
It is also used as a signal for the battalions to form regiment,
following the first _adjutant's call_ at such interval as the
commanding officer may prescribe.
_To the color:_ Is sounded when the color salutes.
