This history will, at all times, be kept as nearly up to date as possible. The chief or commanding officer of the organization will cause the history to be prepared under his immediate supervision. The historical record thus kept should contain information concerning the original formation, recruitment, changes in organization, increase and decrease in strength, stations of the organization or parts thereof, arrival at and departure therefrom, marches, campaigns, battles, etc. It should give the names of officers and men killed and wounded in action, or who may have specially distinguished themselves, with rewards and decorations received. It should contain as appendices such rosters of officers and noncommissioned officers as may be prepared from time to time. Before books and papers are destroyed under paragraphs 249 and 272, Army Regulations, they should be carefully examined to see that everything of historical value therein has been em bodied in the history of the organization. 2. As soon as possible after the end of each calendar year the chief or commanding officer of every organization required to keep a history under this order will forward to The Military Secretary of the Army a copy of so much thereof as relates to the past calendar year. 3. The initial installment of this history to be forwarded to The Military Secretary will cover not only the calendar year 104 but such periods as, with the histories heretofore pub. nshed in the Journal of the Military Service Institution, and later in a book entitled "The Army of the United States," and with such sketches as have been heretofore furnished the War Department, will form a complete narrative history of the organization from its formation to the end of 1904.
