The baldric was a strong leather belt with a thick sheath - a wide gut, which housed the end of the knife and the blade itself. And the dressing point, and later in common parlance - the regimental belt, was set up in convenient, clearly visible places near the main routes of movement or large parking lots, on the elevated opposite edge of the field between the Russian troops and the enemy “side”. It could include a medicine tent under a mushroom, a small field forge of blacksmiths and captive craftsmen, a service estate of civilian craftsmen, a service cart for a sling cart, a hare, and later a jet maker, and a horse tuluk. All this gradually constituted a complete complex of the marching convoy of the Russian army. Such a material storehouse was necessary to maintain the combat effectiveness of a large military regiment in war, without interrupting the path of its movement. It was advisable to carry such a combat field camp, fully equipped with professional equipment, with you through enemy territory until the “enemies” were completely defeated, and then return to your own and continue the battle as part of the general army.
