For ceremonies, all mounted enlisted men of a regiment or smaller unit, except those belonging to the machine-gun organizations, are consolidated into a detachment. The senior present commands if no officer is in charge. The detachment is formed as a platoon or squad of Cavalry in line or column of fours.

A map sets forth cold facts in an alphabet all its own, but an easy alphabet, and one that tells with a few curving lines more than many thousand words could tell. Noncommissioned officers and selected privates should be able to make simple route sketches.
To this he called the attention of a noncommissioned officer. The latter investigated further, and the gun was hauled out. Rhodes now tumbled incontinently from his high horse and the officer at once mounted it.

Finally the noncommissioned officer and one man only were left, both of them being wounded.
The sergeant of the guard has general supervision over the other noncommissioned officers and the musicians and privates of the guard, and must be thoroughly familiar with all of their orders and duties. He is directly responsible for the property under charge of the guard, and will see that it is properly cared for.
The centres of disturbance were noncommissioned officers who, seated, growled and wrote down names. "Come to my table," said Burgard. "Well, Purvis, have you ear-marked our little lot?" "I've been tellin' 'em for the last hour we've only twenty-three vacancies," was the sergeant's answer. "I've taken nearly fifty for Trials, and this is what's left." Burgard smiled.
The first sergeant is sometimes allowed to give men permission to leave camp from retreat to taps. The noncommissioned officer in charge of quarters, detailed for 24 hours goes on duty each day at reveille.
