INDIA.—GENERAL ORDERS.
Head-quarters, Calcutta, August 8, 1845.
The Commander-in-Chief, oneihenoasion of his late inspection
of the troops in the Upper Pavintes, was concerned to observe
numberless instances of ionweation and departure from the esta-
bli‘lard Regulations for the Field Exercise sad Movements of the
Infantry, as presctibed fur general guidance, and it would have
been his Excellency's determination at trauma to point out and
correct these irregularities in practiemanito have required the most
undeviating attention of Commanding Officers to the rules Lid
down for the discipline of the forces, badnot his Excellency's know-
ledge of the intended introduction of a new system of Drill, and of
Field Exercise nod Evolutions its his Majesty's Army, rendered it
a.liffsable to postpone any observations on points of such import-
ance. until it should become practicable to announce the new pub.
licnion as the established .system for the Indian Army.
The arrival of a large supply of the work recently revised by
Major-General Sir 11. Torras, K.C. B. and K.T.S. Adjutant-
General to the Forces, and ordered to be adopted throughout his
Majesty's Army, now affords to the Commander.in-Chief the op-
portunity Of making known his sentiments on the occasion above
adverted to; and in introducing to the Akar the revised work,
which will bencefOlth constitute du* Book of Instructions, to
captess in the most pointed terra. his desire that the most strict
and undeviating attention be paid to the Rules therein laid down.
Uniformity of practice is the essence of Military Tactics,
and without it disorder and •must prevail. Even im-
provements in Fi..ld Maculate cease to be suck, when introduced
the partial and desukay manner which his Excellency observed
during his tour of inspection.
To render any system of Evolution perfect. it must be adopted
generally, touter competent authority ; and there cannot be, in his
Excellency's opiniou. a more objectionable procedure on the part of
any Commanding Meer than his abandoning Rules once laid
down for general observance, and substituting fancies of his own.
which must render the Corps. in which such innovations are prac-
tised, very unfit to perform its part in any combined evolutions of
large bodies. ..•
Copies of the revised regulations will be forwarded to every
Corps of Infantry in th• service, io as to .'pre7ide a copy for • each
Officer present.
These books are to be kept with care; and when an Dicer quits
hi; Regiment. he is to return the book sppplied to him to the Adju-
tant. for the use of those Officers who may join subsequently.
Sir Edward Paget is further pleased to direct, that the General
Order, dated Horse Guards, 10th March, 1884, prefixed to these
Legulations, be considered as equally applying to the Army of this
Establishment, and his Excellency calls upon General and other
Officers to support the due execution of its provisions.
By Order of his Excellency the Commander-in• Chief,
W. L. WATSON,
Adjutant-General of the Army.
