GENERAL ORDERS,
HDQRS. FIRST DIV., 14TH ARMY CORPS, Numbers 9.
In the Field, S. C., February 5, 1865.

I. The attention of brigade commanders is called to the fact that many of their men indulge in the unmilitary and disgraceful habit of straggling. We are now entering upon another campaign into the enemy's country, where our own safety and that of the whole army depends upon the men being kept together and under their proper officers. When forage details are sent out they must be in charge of competent commissioned officers, and in no case will forage details be sent from any regiment or brigade of this command without such officer in command. Brigade commanders will take the necessary steps to prevent straggling, enforce obedience to this order, and will be held strictly responsible for every man lost through neglect of its provisions.

By order of Brigadier General W. P. Carlin:

J. E. EDMONDS,

Captain and Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
