CWDigitalDigest Casey's Stack - Vol IV, Episode 16

[CivilWarTalk]

Get your arms stacked!

Published on Aug 1, 2018

In this episode, we teach how to stack arms, breaking it down into the individual motions to make a solid stack quickly. This method comes from Casey's drill manual however it is the same in Gilham's! Hearing the command "Stack Arms!" would be music to soldier's ears. Since very often the next command might be "Rest". The quicker they get it done the faster they could make coffee, sit down, lay down, or get some sleep. That is no different today for the living historian!

Although not a Civil War Digital Digest I thought I should add this video, Hardee's Revised Manual Stack Arms, AKA "The Kentucky Swing" I personally find the swing a little easier.

It may look easy now but I bet they needed a little more instruction and a lot of practice To get it right.

It's one of those things that is a little tricky and awkward at first but once you get it it's like, oh this is pretty easy.
