Excerpt from Notes on Field Fortifications

The above quotations set forth very clearly the legitimate role of Field Fortifications in military operations, and their appreciation, when properly employed, by the greatest soldier the world has yet produced.

The "Notes on Field Fortification" was first issued in 1912, having been prepared by the Director and Instructors of The Army Field Engineer School for use in the course given the student officers of The Army School of the Line. The object is the inculcation of correct views regarding the employment of Field Fortifications by combat branches. It is in no sense a manual of military engineering or a treatise on fortification; but merely enunciates certain principles which are to be amplified in the class conferences and their application taught by terrain exercises.

No solutions of map problems are issued with the "Notes," as it is not believed that the subject of Field Fortification can be satisfactorily handled except with the ground actually before the student.

The original edition having been exhausted, advantage is taken of the necessity for reprint to make changes which the use of the book in the instruction of the three classes and the progress of the past two years have indicated to be desirable.
