Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is for military officers who need to train their infantry companies for combat without much previous training or experience. The author was a major in active service, so the book is based on direct experience of bringing untrained recruits up to battle-ready standard. The key premise is that the standard military manuals provide excellent theory, but do not provide enough practical guidance on how to implement their advice, especially for those training companies rapidly. Therefore, this book fills in the gaps left by these texts, and provides practical exercises to accompany their instruction. These exercises start with the most basic skills, such as how individual soldiers move and shoot while taking cover, extending slowly to more complex combined maneuvers by sections of the company. The reader will learn how to train their companies in fire discipline, how to take and hold ground, and how to advance under enemy fire with minimal losses. Regardless of the experience level of the instructing officer, this book provides an insightful grounding in the practical aspects of infantry training, making it an invaluable resource for any military library.
