The Tactics of Field Artillery

Abstract

There is sometimes an impression among officers who have not had occasion to consider the matter particularly, that Artillery is a purely technical arm, and has little use for tactics in the broader sense. It seems at first sight that it has. only to move forward in some sort of decent order, which is a matter merely of Drill Regulations, and then take up a suitable position and open fire, both of which duties require a knowledge more technical than tactical.
