This is a civilian intensive event, and we strongly encourage civilian participation, especially the ladies. If the number of participants allows, we will also have different scenarios going on throughout the day along the trail to the mill and in the mill area.

Military is US only.

Infantry

Mounted Cavalry

"Dismounted Cavalry" - one US Cavalry regiment actually listed in ORs as being "dismounted" at this time due to awaiting new mounts



Registration is due by September 15th, 2012. There is no registration fee, but we ask that names be sent and preregistered for vehicle passes and meal tickets as well as bedding straw.
