2009 Command School
Starting in 2007 the Fort offered a weekend-long development course for current and up-and-coming reenactor leaders called the Command School.  The Command School was very helpful in preparing both the Fort and the reenacting community for the 250th anniversary Battle of Carillon events and we believe that the Command School will continue to be a mutually beneficial event. 

However, due to limitations in staff time and resources, it has been suspended for 2009.  We look forward to 2010 when we will host the Command School once again.

In the Meantime…
During the previous Command Schools participants expressed an interest in eighteenth-century military administration and how it could be applied to modern reenactments.  Col. Bailey’s 2d Massachusetts (Rev War) has created an “Organizing Events” resource page to help demystify camp administration.

The site includes an organizational overview, officer & NCO duties, forms & returns, and an event planning checklist (including formulas for the amount of water, wood, hay, and portajohns needed for the number of reenactors).

We think you will find this a very useful resource. Click here to view the site..
