Molon Labe,
The USMC small wars manual FMFRP 12-15 is an excellent resource if you have not already read it, basically covering the tactics used over the course of the Bananna Wars (the conflicts the USMC were involved in during the begining half of the 1900's). It also includes some awesome instructions of how to load up a mule and a horse, relplete with photographs.
