Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of Tactics World War It is hoped that this work will have its share in em phasizing the experiences of the war that have been pur chased with so much blood, and which experiences may easily run the danger of being lost in the dissolution of our old, tried army. May these pages call back to mind what our troops have performed, the equal of which can not be found in military history, by heavy work against an enemy so superior in numbers and equipped with all possible auxiliary means. But the heroic achievements of our troops were possible only because all members of the army performed untiring and devoted work in time of peace, in the matter of training the men to faithful per formance of duty, willingness to assume responsibility and audacity. I have but briefly touched on the end of the army; my theme ends upon the battlefield; the awful dissolution process and the failures at home, are beyond the limits of tactics. Therefore, I have purposely avoided touching on the unfortunate struggles in the interior of our country. This book of mine is not for the purpose of accusing, neither is it for the purpose of excusing errors that have been committed. I have merely touched where it was abso lutely necessary. My only endeavor has been to show how our present day tactics had their being and how they, starting from an excellent peace training, adapted them selves to the continually more difficult demands of battle. Though the war could not end with victory on the battle field, that surely was not the fault of the army, nor of its leaders. I shall be very thankful for any corrections and addi tions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development of Tactics World War Shortly before the outbreak of the World War, I was engaged in preparing my six-volume "Tactics" (the single volumes of which had already appeared in the 4th Edition), for a new edition. Extensive preparations had been made therefor and valuable material had been assembled, gathered from my essays on Infantry Tactics since 1901 and published in Loebell's Annuals. With the first edition of my "Tactics," I had taken a stand for increased valuation of Tactics and Psychology in troop leading. The World War has confirmed this necessity. My work concerning tactics embraced the viewpoint in tactics of all large military powers prior to the World War, and it is hoped that it will always remain of value in all general questions. The World War brought about enormous changes: It has shown the importance of the penetration, with the million men armies of modern times, as compared to the envelopment. I had very early advocated the unavoidable necessity of the penetration, though I fully knew that, without doubt an enveloping battle, a "Cannae," would be easier, would have greater success, and would probably also be of more decisive effect. I well knew that my opinion and the opinion of military circles differed greatly; I have never denied the advantages of the enveloping battle, but also have always pointed out the necessity of preparing for the penetration. The World War proved that I was right. I attempted from the first days of the war to make myself familiar with all new writings and events in training, and to utilize the lessons shown. If I now attempt to discuss the development of tactics in the World War, I well know the difficulties thereof, because so far little authentic material is available for a basis. Therefore, in the discussion of actual events in the field, from which I was far removed, I have touched upon briefly and have treated principally the events on the Western front from the standpoint of the troop leader.

Download or read book Tactics Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by William Balck and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tactics, Vol. 2 The kind reception accorded his translation of Volume I of Tactics here and abroad, and many urgent requests received from brother officers for a similar book on cavalry and artillery, prompted the translator to undertake the translation of Volume II. This is an epitome of the interpretation and application of tactical principles in the cavalry, field and heavy artillery of the various armies, discussed in the light of tactical views and methods prevailing in Germany, and amplified by numerous examples from military history. The author's views differ in many respects from those generally accepted in our service, but that very fact tends to enhance the value of his work, for it enables the student to see things from a different angle and stimulates reflection. The translator's aim has been to reproduce, in English, as faithfully as possible, the ideas of the author. If he has been moderately successful in this, and has helped his brother officers to get a deeper and broader conception of tactics, he will feel amply repaid for his work.

Download or read book The Principles of War Classic Reprint written by Ferdinand Foch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of War Shepherds' fires, lit on a stormy coast, to guide the uncertain seaman these lines might well be applied to the following pages. They were written for young officers. The reader must not look to find in them a complete, a methodical, still less an academic account of the art of war, but rather a mere discussion of certain fundamental points in the conduct of troops, and above all the direction which the mind must be given so that it may in every circumstance conceive a manoeuvre at least rational. If it prove useful in this respect, by enlightening the reader, or by giving him a sound direction, this book will have fulfilled its purpose. When young officers Jom their regiments and propose to study the conduct of troops in the field, they hear talk of certain principles which govern war. They attempt in vain to discover those guiding principles; they cannot find them either in what they have been previously taught, or in the reading of military works. Principles, they are told, are a matter of common sense, of judgment; their application varies according to circumstance; they cannot be written down or learned. When the moment comes for exercise on varied ground and for the autumn manoeuvres, they hear their senior officers criticise in the name of these same principles the tactics adopted. It then appears that though their elders know these famous principles, they often apply them wrongly. It is yet another example of the great gulf between the knowledge of a truth and its use in practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
