QUARTERMASTER SUPPLIES

The 3rd Florida Company A maintains a supply of equipment and materials to support both new and current members. Our goal is to ensure that all weapons, uniforms, and leather goods are maintained in proper condition and ready for use at reenactments and living history events.

A $15 donation per event is requested for the rental of a Soldier’s Kit.

At present, the company has sufficient resources to provide up to 20 Soldier’s Kits if needed.

Please note: powder and percussion caps are not included with the kits.

Soldier’s Kits include:

Blue or gray blouse
Trousers (waist size required for proper fit)
Canteen
Haversack
Cartridge box and cap box
Musket with bayonet (Springfield or Enfield)
Shirt
Kepi

If you plan to attend an event and require a Soldier’s Kit, please contact Captain Dennis Short in advance with your waist size and anticipated arrival time.

Uniform Requirement

In order to standardize our appearance as a Confederate unit, the preferred uniform jacket is the Richmond Depot Shell Jacket.

Members who already possess a uniform kit are not required to purchase a new jacket unless they wish to do so. However, new members assembling their kit are encouraged to obtain this style.

First Lieutenant William Tindle III has acquired materials to produce these jackets in-house.

For questions regarding uniforms or equipment, please contact:
