DEPOT (from the Fr. depot, Lat. depositum, laid down; the French accent marks are usually dispensed with in English)

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 60 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DEPOT (from the Fr. depot, Lat. depositum, laid down; the French accent marks are usually dispensed with in English) , a
place
  where things may be stored or deposited, such as a furniture or forage
depot
 , the
accumulation
  of military stores, especially in the theatre of operations. In America the word is used of a railway station, whether for passengers or goods; in
Great
  Britain on railways the word, when in use, is applied to goods stations. A particular military application is to a
depot
 , situated as a
rule
  in the centre of the recruiting
district
  of the
regiment
  or other unit, where recruits are received and undergo the necessary preliminary training before joining the active troops. Such depots are maintained in peace time by all armies which have to
supply
  distant or oversea garrisons; in an army raised by compulsory service and quartered in its own country, the regiments are usually stationed in their own districts, and on their taking the
field
  for war leave behind a small nucleus for the formation and training of drafts to be sent out later. These nucleus troops are generally called depot troops.
