BIVOUAC (a French word generally said to have been introduced during the Thirty Years' War, perhaps derived from Beiwacht, extra guard), originally, a night-watch by a whole army under arms to prevent surprise.
The use of bivouacs permits an army to remain closely concentrated for all emergencies, and avoids the necessity for numerous wagons carrying tents.
Constant bivouacs, however, are trying to the health of men and horses, and this method of quartering is never employed except when the military situation demands concentration and readiness.
A bivouac is an improvised shelter, made from whatever is to hand at the time.
Among bivouac academiics it is generally accepted that the orange tarpaulin is superior to the green.
This is a superior bivouac, as the tree branch directly above the inhabitants exposed head will continuously cleanse the eyes and respitory organs of the inhabitant as they sleep, with a purifying stream of water drips, dissolved sap and insects.
