Infantry Drill Regulations, United States Army, 1911: Corrected to April 15, 1917 (Changes Nos. 1 to 19)
United States. War Department
United States. Army. Infantry -- Drill and tactics
_Alarm Calls._
806. _Fire call:_ The signal for the men to fall in, without arms, to
extinguish fire.
_To arms:_ The signal for the men to fall in, under arms, on their
company parade grounds as quickly as possible.
_To horse:_ The signal for mounted men to proceed under arms to their
horses, saddle, mount and assemble at a designated place as quickly as
possible. In extended order this signal is used to remount troops.
_Service Calls._
807. _Tattoo_, _taps_, _mess_, _sick_, _church_, _recall_, _issue_,
_officers'_, _captains'_, _first sergeants'_, _fatigue_, _school_, and
_the general_.
_The general_ is the signal for striking tents and loading wagons
preparatory to marching.
_Reveille_ precedes the _assembly_ for roll call; _retreat_ follows
the _assembly_, the interval between being only that required for
formation and roll call, except when there is parade.
_Taps_ is the signal for extinguishing lights; it is usually preceded
by _call to quarters_ by such interval as prescribed by Army
Regulations.
_Assembly_, _reveille_, _retreat_, _adjutant's call_, _to the color_,
the _flourishes_, _ruffles_, and the _marches_ are sounded by all the
field music united; the other calls, as a rule, are sounded by the
musician of the guard or orderly musician; he may also sound the
_assembly_ when the musicians are not united.
The morning gun is fired at the first note of reveille, or, if marches
be played before _reveille_, it is fired at the commencement of the
first march.
The evening gun is fired at the last note of _retreat_.
