July 1846 CE
Frémont, on Sloat's orders, has brought one hundred and sixty volunteers to Monterey, in addition to the California Battalion.
On July 15, Sloat transferrs his command of the Pacific Squadron to Commodore Robert F. Stockton, who is more militarily aggressive.
He musters the willing members of the California Battalion into military service with Frémont in command.
Stockton orders Frémont to San Diego to prepare to move northward to Los Angeles.
