Author was led to compile this account of Army Organization owing to his inability to discover any book dealing systematically with that subject. Military writers do, of course, make frequent allusions toO rganization, but a previous acquaintance with the subject is generally assumed. One looks in vain for an explicit account, either of the principles underlying organization, or of the development of its forms and methods. It is true that the word Organization figures in the title of more than one Military treatise, but the subject is handled unsystematically and empirically, so that the ordinary reader is unable to realize the significance of the facts. In some cases the termO rganization is interpreted in so wide a sense as to include not only Tactics, Staff Duties, and A dministration, but any matters of moment to an army. Thus, in the volume of essays recently published, an author of weight states that Organization for War means thorough and sound preparation for war in all its branches, and goes on to say, the raising of men, their physical and moral improvement .. .their education and training ,. .are the fruits of a sound organization.
