Excerpt from Telegraph Battalion, Signal Corps: Tables of Organization and Equipment, July, 1917 1. There shall normally be but one accountable officer for Equipment C of each bureau of a telegraph battalion and such officer will account on a separate return for all articles listed in the following tables. He will be known as the battalion supply officer. 2. When different officers serve as supply officers of the different bureaus they will be designated as "battalion quartermaster," "battalion signal officer," etc. Should local conditions make it desirable or necessary to have an accounting officer for any detachment serving separately from its parent organization, one may be designated for that purpose and the articles of Equipment C that pertain to such detachment will be transferred to the designated accountable officer of the detachment, but as soon as the conditions making this separate accountability necessary ceases, the account will be closed by transferring back to the unit supply officer of the parent organization of the accountability for the property which had been carried separately. 3. Companies or detachments will hold on memorandum receipt from the supply officer of the battalion articles of Equipment C prescribed in the following tables as provided in regulations and orders (see Quartermaster Regulations and Paragraph I, General Orders, No. 6, War Department, 1916). 4.Under normal peace conditions organizations will keep their Equipment C as prescribed complete and in serviceable condition. If ordered for field duty, this. full equipment will be taken to the mobilization and concentration points. If ordered on active field duty, where Equipment B and Equipment A not required for actual strength can not be taken, it will be disposed of. by the battalion supply officer as conditions require, by turning it in to a camp supply officer or depot, or by disposing of it as otherwise ordered. The same course will be followed at any time during active field service, should equipment become surplus. 5. The battalion supply officer will obtain replenishment of Equipment C by furnishing the post, camp, division, depot, or other proper supply officer in exchange for articles by either exchange of unserviceable articles worn out through fair wear and tear, or by exchange of a properly approved inventory and inspection report, survey report, statement of charges, certificate of expenditure, or other authorized method.
