The foregoing tables do not include the articles for a winter campaign, when climatic conditions make it necessary to have additional clothing, tentage, stoves, equipment, etc. Such conditions require that additional vehicles be temporarily attached to the baggage section of field trains. The organizations are presumed to be integral parts of a division on the march in the theater of operations, and at their maximum war strength.
