Office of the Chief of Staff.
May 19, 1918.
1. Hereafter all property in the hands of combatant troops in service in Europe willbe divided into classes as follows : 2. Mobile equipment is the equipment prescribed for use in troop movements, temporary billets, and open warfare. It is limited to the animals, vehicles, and articles of equipment prescribed in the Tables of Organization, the equipment and clothing worn on the person, and the articles carried in pack and on mount and transported in field, combat, and divisional trains. 3. The mobile equipment willbe carried in all classes of service. 4. Trench equipment is the equipment which, inaddition to the mobile equipment, is prescribed for use in trench warfare. 5. The trench equipment prescribed is designed to meet the necessities growing out of trench warfare as itexists on the Western
front.
6. The tables given herewith cover all property in the hands of combatant troops and include Quartermaster, Ordnance, Medical, Gas Service, Engineer and Signal property. This equipment manual modifies for European service the allowances specified as equip ments A, B and C, described in paragraph 319, Compilation of Orders, War Department, 1881-1915, and all equipment in excess of the allowances specified inthis manual willbe turned in at once to the Salvage service, S. O. S. 7. The trench equipment does not accompany the troops in troop movements. The necessary stocks of equipment and sup plies of this class are maintained in the dumps, and articles are issued out to the troops occupying the trenches in accordance with necessities as they arise. When an organization is relieved from the trenches, it will turn over the trench equipment in the sector or part of a sector occupied by it to the organization relieving it. 8. This manual modifies existing tables of allowance and equipment manuals only in so far as is considered necessary to
8
meet conditions of service in Europe. Due to the fact that different types of equipment are being issued to our troops, and that other changes are to take place in the future, the names of articles and figures given herein willnot be strictly applicable in all cases. Where such differences arise, the provisions of the manual willbe considered to apply in so far as practicable to the corresponding articles of other types. 9. The manual is intended as a guide for organization com manders in determining amounts of equipment and supplies to be kept on hand, and it is authority to supply Officers for issues in accordance with its provisions. Itis not intended to regulate or limit in any way calls for supplies necessary to the efficient conduct of operations, nor to interfere with the distribution of such supplies as are dictated by these considerations. 10. Mistakes in this manual should be brought promptly to the attention of General Headquarters, A.E. F., G. 1. Command of General Pershing : James W. Me Andrew,
Major General,
Chief of Staff.

TABLES
OF
TRENCH EQUIPMENT.
These tables give for each of the separate organizations of a Ma chine Gun Battalion, the articles which in addition to the Mobile Equipment are prescribed for use in trench warfare. They com prise such articles as have a particular use for this warfare and do not accompany troops in their marches in or out of the trenches. The necessary stores of equipment and supplies of this class are maintained in the dumps within this sector, and articles are issued out to the troops occupying the sector in accordance with neces sities as they arise. The quantities given are the minimum amounts to be maint.ained in a quiet sector, and commanding offi cers will make calls for such supplies in addition to these as the conditions in the particular sector appear to require. When an organization is relieved from the trenches it will turn the trench equipment in the sector or part of a sector occupied by it to the organization relieving it.
