Excerpt from Notes on the Use of Machine Guns in Trench Warfare: And on the Training of Machine Gun Units Compiled From Foreign Reports; Army War College; March, 1917
In trench warfare as it exists in Europe, automatic machine rifles, popularly called machine guns, find their greatest use. Besides the trench, the essential elements of a trench line consist of a depth of wire and a front of machine guns.
The tremendous stopping power of machine guns enable them to replace a large number of riflemen along this line, reducing to a minimum the men employed in actual defense, thereby leaving a large part of the force in reserve for use in the counter attack, or for the assumption of the offensive at another part of the line. Their use also reduces the daily wastage due to sickness, and prevents the offensive spirit of the Infantry from becoming impaired.
Opposing belligerents in the present European struggle soon found it necessary to greatly increase the ratio of the number of machine guns per 1,000 Infantry rifles to 8, and in some areas to even larger figures. This ratio would give about 12 machine guns to one of our maximum strength Infantry regiments, and this number may be assumed as the minimum that would be required to properly defend the front that would be assigned to an Infantry regiment.
