This will take a collective effort to enforce and I will not hesitate to ask for help or call for a tow truck.
Amenities: Any requests for amenities, shortages or needs are to be reported directly to respective Division or Branch Headquarters, who will report them directly to the Chief Quartermaster. This includes water, horse water, wood, port a john issues, hay, ice, etc.

Hay: Hay will be provided for Cavalry and CSA staff horses. This will be done directly by the Cavalry QM working with the Chief Quartermaster.
Wood: Wood will be dispersed throughout the camp site. Proximity to any one Division or Branch area does not constitute exclusive ownership. Commanders are responsible for ensuring that wood is not hoarded and distributed equally within the camps.
Ice: Ice will be delivered and sold throughout the camps for $4 per 20lb bag. Two gators have been dedicated to the Confederate Camps alone. There will be four deliveries a day; morning, noon, afternoon and evening.

No trash is to be burned in the fire pit. This includes empty or full cans or bottles. Straw and hay and other flammable substances are to be stored well away from any fire pit.
Trash: Each participant will receive a trash bag at registration. Trash should be deposited at the port o johns for daily collection. Remember, this is a working farm. Please treat the land as if it was your own. Let’s keep it clean and treat it with respect.
Horse Washing Stations: If temperatures dictate the need, a horse washing station will be set up to cool the horses down after each scenario.
