Army camps were designed in a grid pattern, with officers quartered at the front of each street and enlistees consigned to the rear. The camp would often approximate the location of each unit in a line of battle. When not engaged in combat, a soldier’s daily activities commenced with reveille at 5 a.m. (6 a.m. in the winter). The monotony of a typical day in camp was described by one soldier as follows: “The first thing in the morning is drill. Then drill, then drill again. Then drill, drill, and a little more drill. Then drill, and lastly drill.”
