A single company encamping alone, would be arranged in the same way as an entire squadron.

The horses are picketed in two lines parallel to the tents, and at a distance from them of about 12 feet.

The forage is placed between the tents.

A squadron of two companies will occupy a front of about 180 feet.

The fires, or company kitchens, should be 50 or 60 feet in rear of the non-commissioned officers' tents.
Fig 12 is the camp of two batteries of foot artillery, or two companies of foot engineers.
[The plan of encampment for artillery, as given in the "Instruction of U.S.Field Artillery, horse and foot," may be employed where a single battery encamps by itself, or where only the skeleton of companies is maintained; but it will be found exceedingly inconvenient, where a full battery, with a large train, encamps on the same line with other troops.
The plan we have given is that which is employed in most European services.] Fig.
