Jas. Townsend & Son, Inc.
Rank and Distribution of...
Once this unit is off the ground and there is a more stable roster, elections will be held annually to establish ranks within the unit. The number of
active members in the unit and the needs of the event that we attend will determine the rank(s). If you are elected to a rank you must learn the
responsibilities and duties of that rank and be able to perform them when it is needed. You will also be expected to update you impression to suit your
ew duties such as; rank markers, etc. Some events the rank you are assigned in the unit might not be the one you assume at or during the event due to
the circumstances. To start we will be all high privates until a Sergeant is warranted due to the number of members. If we get big enough we will elect
officers as needed to ensure smooth operation of the unit at events.
Member Restrictions
Most events are held at State Parks and certain rules and regulations must be followed to ensure we are invited back year after year. You must be at
least 16 years of age to handle a firearm, with parent or guardian permission (at least till you are 18.) Females will be warmly welcomed to join the unit
but are limited in the impressions they can perform: Laundress, camp follower, etc. It was practically unheard of, for that time, for women to dress like
men and join the army. During this period you only would join the army if you were in dire circumstances, in debt, or looking for adventure. Members
may only be dismissed from the unit after all members have been consulted and are unanimously in agreement to do so.
Dues
At this time there are no dues, although the unit may wish to collect dues in lieu of operating costs interred while maintaining unit cohesion
(newsletter costs, etc.) this will only happen if all members are in agreement to do so.
