Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some Principles of Frontier Mountain Warfare by W.D. Bird is about the tactics and strategies used while going to war on a mountain. Excerpt: "The strength and organization of a force destined to undertake operations against the transborder clans of the Indian frontier are naturally conditioned by the physical features of the area, by its fertility, and by the numbers, character, organization, and armament of its inhabitants. It has been truly said that in war every available man should be employed, for one can never be too strong, but this aphorism is always qualified by the number of men that can be fed in the district which is to form the seat of war."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SOME PRINCIPLES OF FRONTIER MOUNTAIN WARFARE.The saying that there is no new thing under the sun, is as applicable to military affairs as to those of everyday life, for it is fully admitted that the principles underlying all strategy and tactics, whether of mountain or other warfare, are immutable.But though the principles of strategy and tactics are unchanging, organisation, formations, and minor items of procedure, must be continually amended to meet ever varying circumstances, and, in addition, each campaign possesses special characteristics demanding further modifications.There are, in fact, no invariable rules in the conduct of war, and whilst formalism is harmful in all matters, in military operations it is disastrous.An army relying on an established code of rules will often defeat itself in their application, and even if this disaster is avoided, the enemy will soon become aware of the methods in vogue, and will so frame his tactics as most advantageously to counteract them.Each problem, great and small, each set of circumstances, must, therefore, be considered on its merits, principles must be applied in the solution, not rules, and strategy, tactics, organisation, equipment, and other matters, arranged accordingly.It is in this spirit that the problems of Indian Frontier warfare should be approached.

Download or read book Mountain Scouting written by Edward S. Farrow and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mountain Scouting: A Hand-Book for Officers and Soldiers on the Frontiers; Profusely Illustrated and Containing, Numerous Notes on the Art of Travel The object of my book is to investigate that chain of many minor successes, each link of which must be perfect, in order to insure the success of any expedition. A long and dangerous journey, without the loss of property, comfort, health or life, can only be accomplished after having learned how to prepare for all emergencies; how to avoid unnecessary hardships; and how to find out the capabilities of the country and of the party. I make no claim to discoveries in mountain-craft, nor do I pretend to present any facts which have not occurred to others in similar situations. I have endeavored to present, in small compass, such knowledge as the young officer often acquires by bitter experience and under the most unfavorable circumstances. My book is not intended for officers who have seen service on the frontiers, many of whom are my competent teachers; but for the novice, who is so placed that he must depend upon himself in times of emergency. To complete my work, I have drawn largely on the experiences of older officers and have introduced frequent notes recorded during the study of Indian character while in their peaceful villages, following their rugged trails, and in their hostile camps. I have also freely consulted Scott's Military Dictionary, Walker's Manly Sports and other works of reference. I hope my readers will forward me any additions or corrections that may appear to them to add to the value of the work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Principles Connected With the Art of War: Being Instructions for the Care of Minor Organizations in Time of Peace or War; Designed for the Use of Military Colleges, National Guardsmen and Volunteers The object of this work is to present in compact shape, and plain and untechnical language, the matter that military students are obliged, otherwise, to study and search through many volumes for. The National Guard of the United States is anxious to know all it can reasonably learn of military matters, beyond the elementary drills and tactics, but the great array of books and authorities on different subjects is so appalling, that it cannot afford the time or money to learn from them.

Download or read book Science the Endless Frontier written by Vannevar Bush and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic case for why government must support science—with a new essay by physicist and former congressman Rush Holt on what democracy needs from science today Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government’s responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Bush’s vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world’s most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science’s very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government. This timely new edition presents this iconic text alongside a new companion essay from scientist and former congressman Rush Holt, who offers a brief introduction and consideration of what society needs most from science now. Reflecting on the report’s legacy and relevance along with its limitations, Holt contends that the public’s ability to cope with today’s issues—such as public health, the changing climate and environment, and challenging technologies in modern society—requires a more capacious understanding of what science can contribute. Holt considers how scientists should think of their obligation to society and what the public should demand from science, and he calls for a renewed understanding of science’s value for democracy and society at large. A touchstone for concerned citizens, scientists, and policymakers, Science, the Endless Frontier endures as a passionate articulation of the power and potential of science.
