Manual of Military Training
Second, Revised Edition
Colonel James A. Moss's Manual of Military Training, here in its second, revised edition of 1917, was written for the cadets of American military schools and colleges and for the company officers of the National Guard and the new Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and it was adopted by more than a hundred institutions when the United States entered the First World War. It covers the whole of a soldier's basic instruction: the school of the soldier and the squad, drill, the manual of arms, marksmanship, guard duty, field service, marches and camps, trench warfare and bayonet fighting, map reading, first aid, hygiene, and the duties and courtesies of military life. It is a period document of how an army was built in a hurry. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
