The Army on the March: Course in Organization and Tactics, Lecture No. 6
Abstract
Marches may be looked upon as the foundation ok all operations, An army which, by comparison with other armies, is below the standard in marching powers, must be considered as lacking in one of the most essential qualities necessary for carrying on warfare, and which is now materially increased in proportion to the numerical size of modern armies. It is well known that no military performance is so often put to the test as that of marching. Placing aside outpost affairs, only a very few days are actually devoted to fighting, whereas nearly every one is a marching day as long as there is no suspension of hostilities.
