Excerpt from Training Infantry In my commissioned service of over thirty-three years I have spent over twenty-two years with my regiment and three years in training a battalion of college cadets. I have been intimately associated with the national guard of one state and have had experience with the guard of four other states. I have seen something of foreign troops in both peace and war. In these many years I have observed the methods of training employed by a number of officers. Our infantry training has improved over what I first knew but there still exists in places a lack of completeness and system. Of late years a much greater interest than formerly has been taken in the tactical instruction and training of our officers and the progress has been marked. The tactician is, however, but the skilled mechanic; the tools with which he works are his troops. New recruits are like the lump of ore, of no use until converted into steel and then forged into shape. The making of this tool from the raw material is our principal business during peace.

Excerpt from Infantry Training The precise movements of the manual of arms and close-order drill are not for the purpose of teaching men how to get about on the battle field. They will hardly be used there at all. One of the principal objects is to train the soldiers' minds and bodies to habits of precise, unhesitating obedience to the will of the leader, so that in the stress of battle they will obey without conscious effort, mechanically, automatically, as the easiest and most natural line of action.

(m)School for hygiene and sanitation. Also such other schools as the division commander may deem necessary.4. In the training work at least 36 hours per week, exclusive of officers and non-commissioned officers schools, will be required. To be successful the interest of the men must be maintained. This can be done by giving variety to the work. Do not keep men too long at one thing; change to something else before they become bored. Long periods of place rest should not be permitted. Short periods of physical drill of various kinds should be interspersed, especially what is called recreationary games. At drills all officers should be present in so far as necessary to secure proper supervision. Superior officers should supervise the work of subordinates. Every mistake must be corrected and the men kept to their work. While this war has called into use new weapons and new methods it has not obviated the use and necessity of the old. Most of these new things can be quickly taught to soldiers otherwise trained. A few days are all that are required for most of them, and if training cannot be completed in the United States this part is the one to be left to be done abroad. The absolute essentials for all troops and what requires most time and care to impart and should be given before sailing are:1. Discipline.2. Physical efficiency, including marching.3. Combat efficiency, bayonet, rifle and musketry.4. Development of leadership in officers and non-commissioned officers.5. Development of cohesive action, maneuver, liaison, etc. (platoon to brigade).6. Training in specialties (open warfare).7. Tactics, open warfare (platoon to brigade).
