Letters on Applied Tactics: Problems Dealing with the Operations of Detachments of the Three Arms... - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The present is a literal translation of the latest (7th) edition of Griepenkerl s Letters on Applied Tactics. It was undertaken at the request of the Department of Military Art of the Service Schools, Fort Leavenworth; the Americanized form being considered not as suitable for the purposes of said schools. In this latest edition the author omits much that was contained in former editions. Where such omissions were considered interesting or helpful to the reader, the translator has retained them as notes at the bottom of corresponding pages of the text. References in the body of the text all have to do with German Regulations; those at the bottom of pages refer to our regulations. The difl Sculty of mastering German army organization is more apparent than real. A table has been inserted (opposite page i) covering the whole subject of strength and organization of combatant and non-combatant troops from an army corps to a company. But for the purposes of the text only a part of this table need be consulted. Even less than this will serve ordinarily. Thus it will be well to remember the following concerning German troops at war strength: I nfantry. Company=5 officers (C aptain mounted) and 265 men 3platoons (Z iige) 250 rifles. Companies are numbered consecutively from I to 12 in each regiment: numbers i to 4forming the first battalion, etc. Battalion=4 companies 1000 rifles. (M ajor Comdg.
