To the Officers and Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade:

The Brigade is hereby ordered to report for service with the Department on the 13th of this month at Olustee Station, Florida.
The Brigade will consist of: 1st Battalion (Florida Battalion of Infantry), 2nd Battalion (Georgia Volunteer Battalion), 3rd Battalion (1stBGD, PACS), and any other sub commands deemed appropriate by the Commanding General of the Department or other Officer designated by him.
Battalion Commanders are to continue to take all measures to ensure their men are properly and completely informed, equipped and supplied for the Campaign. Proper and Diligent attention is to be given to adherence to the Host’s Guidelines for participation.
Tentage, camp equipment, and all other such paraphernalia should be at a minimum for the Campaign. All items not of a strictly military nature should be considered as impedimenta and, as such, deemed unnecessary.
Battalion Commanders will report their anticipated arrival dates, Staff rosters and final Muster counts to Brigade Head~Quarters no later than February 10th.
The senior officer, no matter his battalion, first to arrive at the Brigade bivouac area, will assume command of that Battalion, and make himself readily available at the Brigade Head~Quarters area until relieved by the arrival of a senior Battalion Staff officer or other officer appointed by his Battalion Commander for that purpose.
Company Colors and Standards may be displayed for camp markers until such time as they are ordered to be removed by Brigade Staff Head~Quarters. DoG markers will be posted and are of the color and design of the 1st Infantry Brigade Head~Quarters Standard.
All Battalion Standards carried on the field are to be of a pattern associated with Confederate Army Regulations, circa January 1864.
Battalion Commanders will see that each Company under their command obtains such ammunition crates necessary to meet the resupply needs of their companies, should such needs become necessary whilst in action. Crates should be of a familiar pattern and marked with the Company’s number and its commanding officer. Crates will be used to resupply troops during engagements. Per the host’s requirement, cartridge box tins are mandatory.
All Officers, Soldiers and Civilians under contract, or otherwise associated with the operation of this Brigade, shall at all times adhere to uniform, accoutrements, and other such clothing and effects as reflected of the Confederate Soldier or civilian, circa January 1864.
All other such Orders, General or Special, or Circulars deemed necessary for the operation of the Brigade will be issued as required.










The Brigade Staff wish all a safe and speedy journey as we join with our comrades from across our Nation to advance our Cause.

By Order of the Brigade Commander,
