ORDNANCE DEPOTS.

- 122. It is inmpossibieto lay down hardandfast mules regardingthe size, formation and working of ordnancedepOtsun thefieldthedetailsmustdependupontine imnportannceof eachdepOt,andthefunctionsit is calledupon to perform. AppendixIII simowsroughlythespacerequiredfor a baseordnancedepOtandanadvancedbaseordnancedepOt. Time fohlomvin~remarksare onmly intendedas aguide, local modificationsbeingnntroducedto suit eachcase.

15.—Base DepOts.

123. Buildings.—A basedepOtwill usually beof a mon’e on’ lesspermanentcharacter,and buildings should be utilized as far aspossiblefor mousingtine stores. Sucim buildings should mmot be tooscattered,they shmould be on, or be readily accessiblefromnn, a goodu-oadand locatedasnearaspossibleto therailwayiimme, if oneexists.If siding accommodationbe not already available, no timne shouldbe lost mn imaving it installed.

124. Docks.—Iftine pointof disenmbarkationbeanestablishedport,suitableaccommodationmaybeavailableat time docks. It will beanmatterfor local decisionwhethertine basedepOtasawhole is to belnousedthereor at somneotherpoint in time locality. In the lattercasea branchestablishmentat the dockswill usually be requiredfor unloading vesselsandsubsequentlydisposingof tineir cargoes,whichwill besentto thebasedepOtor consigneddirectto up-countrydepOtsasnnaybeordered.

125. Generalprocedure.—Thegeneralroutine pn’ocedurewill beon the sameline as for otiner depots,but owimmg to the greaterquantity of storeshandledat onetriune, ftmrtlner rommtiume orderswillgenerallyberequired.

126. Stationery.—Booksof Regulations,Amity Forrusand Books,and Stationery,will bestoredat anmdprovidedfronm themain basedepOt only. ‘rime indentswill be sentdirect to tine basestationerydepOt. Supplieswill besentdirect to units.

Periodicaldemnandswill be forwam-dedto time War Office, but thearticles will not beaccountedfor after receiptat the basedepOt.

- 21

16.—Other DepOts.127. Establishmcnt.—Assoon as thre locationof a depOtimas been

decided upon, tire necessamypei-sonmmel will be despatched toestablish it. The companiesdetailed will take with thmemnm theirnmobilization stores. Sufficiemmt time should be allowed if possiblefor the erectionof the store tents,&c., beforetire bulk of the storesreachesthe depOt.

128. Books,cf’c.—The ordnanceofficer appointed to opena depotwill takewith hinm tine imecessarystationeryand books. In calcu-latinghis requirementshewill takeinto accounttime stationery,&c.,in possessionnof the companiesallotted to his depOt. Time listof Regulations, Army Books aimd Forms, antI Statiomnery to betaken immto the field 1y amm on’dnatmce company is detailed on AS.L 1308—20. Thesebooks,&c., exceptbooks of Regulations,arekeptwith the nmobihization equipmmment of an ordnanceconnpammyduringpeace. -

120. Selectionof sitc.—Thmeselection of the site for the depOt-requirescarefulconsiderationbefore anysteps are taken towardserectimmg it. Wlrenn the work of receiving and issuing storeshasonce conmnnenmced,it will be found very difficult to mnake anynmatemialchangesin eithertine siteitself or thegeneralarrangemnentsof thedepOtenclosure. - -

It is thereforeimportammtthnata judiciouscinoice should bemadein the first instance,and, in arriving ata decisionn,the followingpointsshotrld he bornein mind. It will rarely happenthat all ofthem can be embodied imn time selectedsite; the ordnance officermust use his own disci’etiomm in deciding whicin of the coimsidera-tiomms (0) to (h) nnust have priority over theotimers.

(a) Sccmerity.—TheAdministrative Commanmderin consultationwith the subordinate L. of C. defenceconnnnanderis responsiblefor thesafetyof thepost and must thmereforeapprovethe site oftine depOt. It will be for him to decide how far considerationsconcem’nimmgconveniemmtworking and facility of supply mmrst giveway to thosegoverrminmgthearrangemnentsfor the local defence.

(0) I?ailway facm’iities.—Ifa railway line exists thedepOtshouldbe so located that direct accessmay be mad to it. When lam-gequantmtmesof storeshave to be dealt with, any reduction in thenumber of times that they have to be handled is aim importantfactor mn econonmical working. For this reaSon sidings arenecessary,so timat tine trucks nmay be brougimt into thme depOt.These am-c pm’ovided by the railway comnstructiommpersonnel,onapplication to time Administrative Commandantof time SectiontorPost,and slroimlch beconstructedas soon as the site for thmemmn hasbeen decided,if not already itt existence.

(c) Groundsuiface.—Theground selectedshould be as level aspossible and free from obstruction. A broken surface, or onewhich us not fairly level, interfem’eswith the comnvenientstackingofstores,andalsoinamperstine internalcommnmunicationsof time depOt.Thestnm’face should be as dry as possibleand be capable of easydm’annage. Every endeavourshould be mmmdc to keep the roads

hard. - If nmadeshigirtly on tine slope water m’uns off easily.. Theshould mmever be allowed to becommme suimk in tine middle. Eartcan always be taken fu’om tine lower side and distributedoverthe parts that imave becomeworn. If water be allowed to lodgewithnn tine compound,it will soon disintegratethe surfaceof theground,with resultsinjurious alike to thestoresandthehealthofthestaffi

(ci) Exclusionof loiterers.—Inom-derto guardagainstloafers andpilferers,it is usually desirabletimat thedepOtshouldnmot besituatedin closeproximity to time nnain camnnps. None but pem-somnsmayinglegitimate businesswithmium thedepOtshouldbeallowedtlnerein ; theAdministrative Commandantshould be applied to for the guam’dsrequiredto enforcethis rule.

(e) Proximity to the troops.—Whiledue regardis paidto (d) thedepOtshould not be placedat sucin adistancefm-oar tine troops as toentail an undueamountof timeandtroubleon them’ pam’tin drawingandreturning stores.

(f) Proxinmiey to road.—Tine depOt should be on a good road.Time existenceof a good road running into, or close to, time depOtwill nuateriallyassistimm expediting tmamrsactionswith the troops.

(g) Futureextcnsions,—-Thepossibility of hrunvimrg at sommne futuretinnme to add to time extent of thedepOtenclosureshould be kept inview ; for thnis reasonit is better,if other circummnstancespem’nmnit, totakeup in tine first instancerathernmom-e groundtiman is inimmmediatelyrequired. If the opportuimity is rmmissecl at tire outset, it willoftenm be found that any additionmal spacerequired may not beavailablelater.

131. Plan of depôt.—InAppendix 11. is givena planm showingthegenemalarrangemmmentsforatypical depOtonalinne of i’ailway, togetimerwith sommrenotesregardingdetails.

132. Maintenanceparty—In a depOt of any magnitude it will befound convenientto tell off a “nmainmtenance”patty consistingof anon-m-conmmmimissionedoflicen’ and a few Immen. Their duties would conn-prisethe pitching andstriking of temmts,tine securityof nih standingtentnnge,the erection or demolition of enclosures,time drainageofloads,time care of time water supply, the smmnitation of the depOt,antI gemmen-allytire supervisionof time stm’ucturalimiteriom’ econrommmyofthedepOtasawhole.

133. i’T.G.Os. and Men-—Notthe least nnmportammt matterfor timeOm’dnance Officer to see to is the commnfortable anmd reasonableimousinmg of theN.C.Os.and menof time Anmny OrdnamiceCom’ps, andthe providimng of suitable and cleanly cookhouse,- lardei-, diningtent, and last, but not least, latrines.

Theexactlocality of theA.O.C. cannp mustdependon circmmm-stancesandthe situationm.

134. Sanitation.—F.S. Regirlations, Part II., Chapter XI.should becarefully studiedby all conmmmmiandersof cletachnmentsordepOts,alsotheManual of Military Hygiene,whicln simould beinpossessionof all officers.

135. Foremen.—It is most desirablethat foremmnensimould Inavetheir areaof responsibilityclean’ly definedin orderthat they maytakean interestand pridein keepingthrat areain good orderandwell arranged. For this purposetime Woolwich Sectionsshouldbegrouped asfounmd commvenmient,and each groupshould beunderaforeman.

136. iV’om-serviceaOle Stores—Serviceablestom’es (S.) should bekept quite separatefrommn non-serviceable(N.), which latter shouldbe gromiped on the opposite side of tine depOt under omme or twoforennen. -

140. As far as possibleall issue orders should be approved bythe ordnanceofficem’ mm charge of adepOt, but in mis absencethenext seniorofficer- wotnld actfor him.

141.

143. To ensurethat the issueof available storesis not undulydelayedtime incompleteindentsin time Imandsof forennenshouldbeinspecteddaily by an officer. -

24

It will frequemntiy happenthat owing to lapse of time orothercausesit maybeuminmecessaryto conmnpleteoutstandingnndents.As to this the ordnanceofficem’ nmnust use his own judgment. 1mmall casesin which he decidesto cancel the indent Ime will notmfytheunit and m’equest therm to iedeimrand if tine storesbe stillm’equired.

Receiptsfrommn units will be received by the receipt bm’anchanddistributed to serviceableor non-serviceablestock foremen, orproduced,accom-dinmgto condition.

The forememi in cinarge of non-serviceablestoresshould am-rangewith the workshops as to what portion of their stock can berepaired. They should nmake it thneim business to keep in toucimwith tine serviceablestock forenren as to what itenmis are mostwanted. They will handover to the workshopssuchstoresas timeworksimopsundertaketo repaironly—it is most undesirablethatthe workshmopsshouldbecomechokedup with a quantity of stores~vimichnthereis no inmmediateprospectof repairing.

He nvfll send theothercopywith the storesto tineforemenconcerned,who will initial tIme voucherand passit to theordnanceofficer for posting and signature. It is most desirablethat units should be able to promptly deliver storesno longernequired,and receiveacquittance. It shouldgenerallybe possiblefor the receipt branch to check the storesand give a receipt onthe spot.

The certificate receipt voucher will be supported by the advicenoteor waybill. In the absemmceof thesedocuments,acertificatewill be addedto the effect that they were not available.

1. Were it possible to lay down an exactscaleof storesto beheld at an ordnancedepOt in the field the Ordnance Officer incharge would be spared much labour and anxietyin connrectionwith the dePOt provision arrangements. Unlike the provisionofsupplies,which can bealmost exactly foreseen,therequirementsofordnancestoresfor anarmy are very difficult to estinmate,and thisdifficulty is munchgreaterin thecaseof advancedordnancedepOtsthan of thosefurther to time rear.

only, showthe proportionsof sizes,per 1,000issued,of certain ofthe more important articlesof clothing, togetherwith informationshowing the numbersusually packedin onecaseor bale, andthegross weight ‘and measurementof such packages. For furtherinformationseetheB.A.C.D. pamphlet“Measurementof BalesandCases.” Outsidesizes (in the case of bootsandshoes,sizesotherthan 6, 7, 8 and 9) will be sentto the Basein packagesof ten.This will, in general,obviate the necessityof re-packing at theBase and the accumulationat depotsof an unnecessarystockof-outsidesizes.

2. It is not necessarythat textile clothing in bulk should be~tored in tents or buildings. If piled on sleepersor good highskidding in blocks of asizewhichcan becompletelyenvelopedbya30.ft. by 30-ft. tarpaulin,securelyfasteneddownto theskidding,andsonicarrangementmadefor surfacedrainage,clothing in bulk-cannotbe betterstoredin theField. It will then only benecessaryto havebroken bales and small quantities under cover, largerissuesbeingmadedirect from the blocks. -

3. Subject to anymodificationswhich actual experienceat thetime may dictate, stocks should be kept, asfar as possible,-in thestandardproportionsof sizes,andtheBaseadvisedof surplusesandahortages. Ihe R.A.C.D. would then beadvised from the Basewhenit is found that anyparticularsizesrequireto beaugmentedin proportion.
