General Tactical of Larger Units
Abstract
The course of instruction in The School of the Line is based on the infantry division and the cavalry division, operating independently or as a part of a corps or an army. With the foregoing in view, the course of study set forth in this book is designed to give the student a picture of the general functions of an army and of a corps, and the relative functions therein of the infantry division and the cavalry division. Such perspective is essential to a correct appreciation of the tactical and supply principles applicable to the division. The principles relating to larger units are touched upon in general terms only, while the statement of decisions and the technique of preparation of orders and the method of handling questions of logistics are covered more in detail. The contents of this book should be considered as introductory to the course in TACTICAL PRINCIPLES AND DECISIONS, published in two volumes by this School, in which the infantry and cavalry divisions are considered in many different tactical situations, and the details connected therewith are thoroughly discussed.
