Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Bayonet Training: Compiled From Foreign Reports, Army War College March, 1917 Training in the use of the bayonet is receiving much attention by all the combatant nations in Europe. The aim of the instruction is twofold - (1) To develop great alertness of mind, readiness of muscle, and habit of quick obedience to command; (2) To develop fighting spirit. Physical drill and bayonet training go hand in hand, and their drill periods follow each other. The physical drill consists of calesthenic exercises for 15 or 20 minutes, followed by some game or exercise requiring great quickness of movement. To accomplish the aims of this training, especially the first named above, it is necessary to execute with snap the movements in the physical drill. The following is from the latest British Training Manual (1916), which is based on their experience, and the forces are now being trained in accordance therewith: 1. To attack with the bayonet effectively requires Good direction, Strength, and Quickness during a state of wild excitement and probably physical exhaustion. The limit of the range of a bayonet is about 5 feet (measured from the opponent's eyes), but more often the killing is at close quarters, at a range of 2 feet or less, when troops are struggling corps a corps in trenches or darkness. The bayonet is essentially an offensive weapon - go straight at an opponent with the point threatening his throat and deliver a thrust wherever an opening presents itself. If no opening is obvious, then create one by beating off the opponent's weapon or make a "feint thrust" in order to make him uncover himself. 2. Hand-to-hand fighting with the bayonet is individual, which means that a man must think and act for himself and rely on his own resources and skill; but, as in games, he must play as one of a team and not only for himself.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the opening day of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of World War I, the newly-created United States 79th Division was templated to advance nine kilometers through German-controlled terrain. However, the advance through the first four kilometers, which included the German strong point of Montfaucon, took two days. The slowed advance of the 79th Division is credited with slowing the progress of the entire American Expeditionary Forces’ First Army, thus allowing time for Germans to react to the surprise American offensive. Thus, the central research question is: What were the factors that caused the delay of the 79th Division in their capture of Montfaucon? Little research has been completed on this subject, and most historians pinpoint the sole cause as inexperience on the part of the 79th Division. Therefore, an analysis will be conducted which takes into account the training received by the 79th Division in the United States, the training received in France, and other factors that influenced the outcome of the battle.
