Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Subsisting Armies in War Lord Bacon said: "Every man is a debtor to his profession, from the which, as men do of course seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves by way of amends to be a help thereunto." Should this book be instrumental in showing the necessity for the establishment of a Staff School, and thereby tend to increase the efficiency of our Staff Corps, and of such branches in the National Guard in the different States, perhaps some small measure of my duty may have been rendered. The Army and Navy Journal, speaking of the State troops at Buffalo, New York, during the railroad strike in August, 1892, says: "There was, in short, an entire lack of system and ignorance of the duties required in the Commissary Department in almost every regiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summary of the Art of War: Written Expressly for and Dedicated to the U. S. Volunteer Army Few nations, if any, in the world, would have been able to accomplish what the people of this great country have done. Within three or four months, an army larger than that possessed by any of the great powers of Europe has been raised, armed, equipped, drilled, and put in the field. Men of all classes, rich and poor, have entered the ranks; and there is scarcely any quiet occupation which has not furnished its share of officers and privates. The merchant and the lawyer, yesterday at their desks, to-day command regiments and armies. If we can only admire this great national movement and the patriotism which has caused it, we may perhaps be allowed to make a few observations the importance of which every intelligent officer will admit.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Treatise on Military Science and the Art of War The following lectures have been prepared as a military science course in the University, to meet the requirements of the "theoretical instruction" prescribed in General Order No. 93, Adjutant's General's Office, series 1893, for institutions of learning receiving the detail of an Army Officer to act as professor of military science and tactics. The lectures have been prepared upon the assumption that students have drilled one year and have become proficient in infantry drill regulations to include battalion movements, and in artillery drill regulations to include the "School of the Cannoneers." These lectures will be bound in three "parts," Part I being intended as a text-book for sophomores, Part II for juniors and Part III for seniors. These books may also be found useful to National Guard Officers, and Noncommissioned Officers, as they constitute a progressive course, leading up from armory drill to battle tactics. Preface to Second Edition. In this edition the three "parts" are hound as one book of 12 chapters for use as a text-book for volunteer troops as well as national guardsmen and military colleges; - it having been suggested by officers who have used the separate "parts" of the first edition, that the twelve lectures, taken together, afford a complete elementary course for those who are hastily preparing for military service, and just what they need to go with "drill regulations." The appendix contains some practical lessons gathered from my recent service with our Army in Cuba. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of Military Institutions The judicious choice of strategic points 'and lines is the safety of armies in reverses, and the cause of the greatest results in successes. Napoleon particularly possessed the genius of strategy; no general has ever surpassed him in this respect; none knew better, beforehand, how to find the point where it was necessary to strike. A large army is composed of several columns; they are necessarily separated in order to subsist and to move with facility. The most dis tant parts should be able to arrive in time for the battle, either to take part in the conflict, or to serve merely as a reserve. The object of strategy is to regulate the march for the promptest reunion upon the same point, be it at the centre or upon one of the wings. A march thus regulated is what Napoleon was in the habit of calling his chess-board. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reflections on the Art of War The numerous favourable reviews of the first edition of this book, and the encouraging notice that has been taken of it by officers whose opinions carry weight, have induced me to venture upon a new and greatly enlarged edition which, with its detailed index, will, I trust, be found useful to officers studying the art of war, and to all who require a work of reference to incidents connected with the great battles of ancient and modern times, and with the generals - good and bad - who have left their names in history. By dwelling on the characteristics of many of the greatest commanders of all ages, I have endeavoured to make the first chapter an interesting introduction to the study of war. A certain familiarity with the characters of those who have been leaders of men in battle is absolutely essential to the right understanding of military operations. This preliminary study will assist and fortify the reader, because the acts and sayings of the men who have actually made history are everywhere brought forward by me as credible evidence in support of what I urge as sound teaching of the art of war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the Art and Science of War and Their Application in Modern Warfare: With Remarks on the Handling of Troops on the Field of Battle, as at Present Practiced The idea of preparing this work occurred to me during the course of instruction in Mahan's Outpost at this school last fall. The above text-book having been published before the introduction of breech loading weapons, and previous to the modifications in tactics made necessary by their introduction, as exemplified in recent wars, it is desirable that some of the principles developed during the progress of these wars should be embraced in a preliminary study of the Art of War. It is hoped that this result will to some extent be accomplished by this volume, which is a compilation from the best works bearing on these subjects, embodying the principles deduced from a study of the history of these wars, and the opinions of many active participants in them who are considered to be authorities on the questions they have considered.
