Ready to issue supplies are: the medical depot at Alençon; its branch at Rennes; Army issue points at Le Mans and Fougères; and corps issue points.

e Evacuation of wounded

Necessary movements of wounded are to be made to the nearest medical establishments, primarily in ambulances. Larger evacuations suitable for rail transport are to be notified to the Army Surgeon. Convalescents and hospital patients fit to march are to be sent back to their units without delay.

At the beginning of combat, corps headquarters should detach eight to ten ambulances from the ambulance platoons of their subordinate divisions and from locally assigned ambulances, in order to organise casualty evacuation centrally and firmly.
