Cost Of The Border Army On Mobility And Savings
The War Department notes through May 15 that Taft expects most mobilization costs for the manoeuvre division on the Mexican frontier to be offset by savings from camp life versus garrison. Transportation costs, about 784 846 dollars, mainly to move six regiments, could be cut by keeping three infantry regiments in the United States and exchanging reliefs. The President plans to keep the division in Texas into November for frontier conditions and cost efficiency, with further savings in fuel, light, and freight. Clothing and ration costs show no field savings, and many officers remain at their home posts, reducing on-site upkeep at scattered posts.
