Bøger af Stewart Murray

The collections contained within the Combined Arms Research Library Digital Library are largely composed of digital versions of paper documents from the Combined Arms Research Library collections and student papers produced at the US Army Command and General Staff College. The documents in this collection cover the areas on the Vietnam Conflict, Korean War, and the U.S. Civil War, to name a few. This is one of those documents.

This interesting treatise was written in light of the European breech-loading rapid fire battles of 1870, when soldiers in the pell-mell of battle became too confused to think. The aim of this publication is to give the Non-commissioned Officer and Privates the habit of instinctive obedience to the word of command in the heat of battle, and as a matter of last resource to "fight on by himself".One of the well regarded Gale & Polden Military Series, the object of this dissertation is to make each soldier battle ready for future European Battlefields, with fire discipline within the British Battalion system.
