Synopsis

Excerpt from Field Service in War: Comprising Marches, Camps and Cantonments, Outposts, Convoys, Reconnaissances, Foraging, and Notes on Logistics

In every campaign, an army must perform Marches; must pitch Camps, and sometimes occupy more permanent quarters, or Cantonments; must be guarded against surprise by Outposts; must receive, from time to time, Convoys of supplies; must procure subsistence for its cavalry and artillery horses, and its draught and other baggage animals by Foraging ;and must ascertain the position, strength and movements of the enemy by Reconnaissances.

All these heads, taken together, make up the subject of Field Service in War; which may be defined as comprising those subsidiary operations and dispositions of an army which are necessarily incidental to a campaign.
