Talk:United States Army Remount Service

Branch?
The Remount Service wasn't actually a branch of service. It was part of the Quartermaster Corps, and most officers were actually assigned to either that branch or cavalry. We may want to consider redoing the category here. Intothatdarkness (talk) 14:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What category would you suggest? Quartermaster Corps (United States Army) belongs to two categories:
 * Category:Branches of the United States Army
 * Category:Quartermasters.

 * The catch is that the Remount Service was part of the Quartermaster Corps, so it's a "sub-branch" of a "branch." It wasn't separate from it. It might be better to put it in Quartermasters, but I'm obviously open to other options. Intothatdarkness (talk) 15:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've changed it to Category:Quartermasters. —Bruce1eetalk 15:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me! The Remount Service is tricky because, in addition to it being part of the Quartermaster Corps, there was a civilian "axillary" (the Remount Association) that handled some of the stallion registration and breeding coordination. This looks to be a good compromise category. Intothatdarkness (talk) 15:21, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
