Hello to all :D; a little more...................................

The services in the division - Supply for motor vehicles.

For the Supply and maintenance of motor transport, the gasoline trucks of the division will refill at the gasoline truck park of the army, which is generally established at the army railhead. The gasoline trucks of the division refill the supply trucks of the motorized units (one for each basic columns unit), and a park is established for supply of command cars and the various motor vehicles of units not motorized.

Distribution of allowances:

I.—In the tanks of the vehicles of the troop units.
2.—On the motor supply trucks of the motorized units (habitually one for each company or corresponding unit).
3.—In the gasoline tank columns of the division.
