Not illustrated. 1821 edition. Excerpt: ...2. d All the platoons of the line will perform the movement in the same way, facing to the rear more or less according to their distance from the column; and march over the shortest possible distance to their places in column. Here let it be remarked, that all the formations and deployments of the line are to be on the battalion companies, and not on the light-infantry, except designated in the order. And the first light-infantry company will form in column in front, and the second in rear of the battalion companies. The platoons of the battalion companies being numbered from right to left, the colonel may give the cautions to form column on any platoon of the line, designating the number of the platoon. Or if he wish to form on the light-infantry, the caution is given--Battalion will form close column of platoons on the right, in rear of the light-infantry. TO DISPLAY A CLOSE COLUMN TO THE LEFT FROM THE RIGHT. Col. Column will display to the left, from the right. Lt. Col. Right wing--Display column to the left on the first platoon--Left face--March. Captain. Halt--Front--Forward-Halt-Dress. See Plate I. No. 2. EXPLANATORY REMARKS. When the order is given to display to the left, the chiefs of platoons, which being the captain ancTljputenant, will immediately step to the left of their commands; and-as soon as the platoons are faced to the left, they will take post on the right of the first and second sergeants; and at the word march, the commandants of platoons will conduct them out of the column parallel with the line, until they have gained their proper distance to form to the front; which must be ascertained by looking to the rear to see when the rear of their platoon are clear of the front of the platoon on their right. When that is...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRegardless of technological and doctrinal advances, final mastery of any battlefield ultimately depends upon the tight-knit group of soldiers trained to direct fire, move, take ground and hold it. This book examines the infantry combat methods of World War II. It draws on the training manuals of the time and first-hand accounts of frontline action and covers the organization and tactics of squad, platoon, company and battalion. It identifies the differences between German, American, British and Japanese approaches and demonstrates how these evolved in the face of changes in the battlefield environment. Motorized infantry tactics are also covered together with each army's responses to the continuously growing challenge and shifting patterns of anti-tank combat and combined operations with armor.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAcclaimed military historian Bevin Alexander offers a provocative analysis of Stonewall Jackson’s military genius and reveals how the Civil War might have ended differently if Jackson’s strategies had been adopted. The Civil War pitted the industrial North against the agricultural South, and remains one of the most catastrophic conflicts in American history. With triple the population and eleven times the industry, the Union had a decided advantage over the Confederacy. But one general had a vision that could win the War for the South—Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. Jackson believed invading the eastern states from Baltimore to Maine could divide and cripple the Union, forcing surrender, but failed to convince Confederate president Jefferson Davis or General Robert E. Lee. In Such Troops as These, Bevin Alexander presents a compelling case for Jackson as the greatest general in American history. Fiercely dedicated to the cause of Southern independence, Jackson would not live to see the end of the War. But his military legacy lives on and finds fitting tribute in this book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy did the Confederacy lose so many men? The authors contend that the Confederates bled themselves nearly to death in the first three years of the war by making costly attacks more often than the Federals. Offensive tactics, which had been used successfully by Americans in the Mexican War, were much less effective in the 1860s because an improved weapon - the rifle - had given increased strength to defenders. This book describes tactical theory in the 1850s and suggests how each related to Civil War tactics. It also considers the development of tactics in all three arms of the service during the Civil War.
