great care should be taken in its preparation to make it both correct
and complete. All officers and enlisted men are taken up on the muster
roll from the date of receipt of notice of assignment. The following
are entered on the rolls:

1. Commissioned officers belonging to the organization, in order of
rank.
2. Commissioned officers attached to the organization, in order of
rank.
3. Non-commissioned officers in order of grade.
4. All others except musicians and privates, alphabetically arranged
in order of grade.
5. Musicians.
6. Privates.

All names, except those entered by rank, are entered in alphabetical
order with the last name first.

The names of enlisted men attached to the company are borne on a
detachment roll. This is not true of officers attached to an
organization, however.

Remarks should be entered according to the model which can be obtained
from the Adjutant General's Office.

All changes should be noted which affect the status of the soldier. An
excellent idea for retaining this data is to keep a separate card for
each man and to enter thereon anything that affects his status.
