Book excerpt: Already by the end of the 19th century, the machine gun had emerged as the most important new development in warfare of the age, and the British army, as this 1911 official publication attests, was well aware that the weapon would transform the conduct of war.

REACTION ON TACTICAL SCIENCE. This review of the tactical employment of machine gnns in the field would be incomplete without some notice of the training necessary for officers and men of the corps, and some forecast as to the influences upon the tactics of the other arms of this new factor in warfare. INFANTRY. The problem of controlled infantry fire at critical moments has been the bugbear of the modern tactician. It is not too much to say that the work of the machine guns in the assault on San Juan Hill at Santiago solved that problem. The infantry deployed under cover of the woods and of their own fire, and the increase of controlled fire necessary to obtain the ascendancy at the critical moment was supplied by the powerful battery of Gatlings, which went into action 100 yards in front of the infantry at the moment of "rapid fire," and played with dreadful accuracy upon the trenches of the enemy until the instant preceding contact. These few minutes have always been a stumbling-block to tacticians, many of whom have insisted that troops must be kept in close order to obtain the necessary control of their fire-action. This will no longer be insisted upon, in the future. The machine guns will be relied upon at all ranges from 1500 yards down to supply whatever controlled fire may be necessary at any particular juncture. True, the infantry will still fire, and its fire will still be "controlled" fire, in a certain sense. The expenditure of ammunition will still be jealously guarded, but its fire-action will be primarily for the moral effect on our own advancing line, and only in a secondary sense to increase the destructive fire-action of the machine guns upon the enemy. It will no longer be necessary to attempt the...

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organization of Machine Guns and Their Tactical Uses With Notes on Training The data collected and reproduced in this little book will be of value to all those interested in the development of machine guns. That they will play a vastly more important part in the wars of the future than they have done in the past is generally admitted, but the lines in which the development will take place and the principles of their tactical employment, have yet to be confirmed by the experience of war. The sustained rattle of a machine gun has an immense moral effect in proportion to the actual damage which it inflicts, and to make full use of this moral power it is desirable that it should come as a surprise when the success or failure of the combat hangs in the balance. Hence both in attack and defence it will probably be wise to reserve a proportion of the machine guns available, for use at close and decisive ranges where the terrain favours their being brought into action as a surprise. A point which the writer has touched on and upon which I should like to lay stress, is the fact that when massed in batteries they to some extent lose their moral effect.
