iv A national war
The problem of formulating a system applicable to all
situations is a difficult one. Different conditions demand
large variations in training for leadership, in tactics, ia
admintrat in no is the nanland and
3 The principles which govern the employment of the
Army in war are laid dowa in Field Servicó Regulations
The instructions in training manuals and training memo.
randa are based on these principles, and are issued to ensure
uniformity of doctrine ia training and unity of action in war
2 Chap. 1, Secs, 1 and 2. 4. Tlir aim in training must be to producc cfficicnt Icaders, a vell-trained stafi, units rell discipliocd, hardy and skilled in tlic us of this weapons, and administrative services familiar with their tsar scoponsibilitics. 5. It is important to recognize the great expansion of our Cviting forcci which a national war would demand. In order 10 mm thic conditions which would then prevail, all officers and son.commissionce officers must be fiticd in peace to fill cppointments in mar considcmbly higher than those which they normally hold, and be capable of acting as cfficient insiructors in the training for war of Bcwly raiscd troops. A national 13r will dcmaod wie mobilization of all the activitics o! the natios, and not morcly those of the fighting Irrvices. Economical organization of industry will be of vital importance, as will also uic application to war of the most modern resources of sciencc. Officers must, thercfore, calcovor:r in gace to l.cep abreast of modern thought, so as to live ablc in war to talic advantage of scientific progress, which is continuous, and also of the constant changes in industrial organization and methods of production. The Inoxicdsc so gaincd, together with an understanding of the bychology of their Iclloir-citizens, is esscatial iſ commanders are to be capable of handling experts 30d directing their cfforts to the list advantage. 2. Esscntial characteristics of an army LEADERSHIP 1. Tic cfficiency of an army depends on the efficiency of its leaders; this is cvcu morc tic casc now than in the past, since dcccatralization of commaod, due to modern weapons, throws increasing responsibilities on jucior commandlers, while the complications of modern warfare render the demaods on higher lcadership more onerous. The primary task of all training thereforc will be the education, practical instruction, and exercising of Icaders and potential Icadors. 2. Leadership depends on simple and straightforward human qualitics. A leader, above all, must have the confidence of his men. He will gain their confidence by commanding their respcctmnrespect for his determination and his ready acceptance of responsibility: for the clearness and

Moral qualities include discipline, the fighting spirit, the
will to win, self control, self respect, loyalty, and a high sense
of bodour.

are essential for efficiency and contribute directly to this

Since the soldier has eventually to return to civil life hel:ould be given every encouragement to learn some trade, and such facilities as cxist for instruction of this kind should k carrelly developed. SHILL-AT-Aps:S AXD FIELDCRAFT 12. All operations of war icad to the application of weapons and nil plans must fail if thc pcapons are not effectively cmployed. It is therefore essential that a man should have a thorough knowledge of his weapons and their use, and that te should appreciate the accessity for their proper ware and arzintenance. He must be so practised that in an emergency bs will instinctively use his scapons to the best advantage is 5 Chap. 1, Secs, 2 and 3.} which the individual has obtained in all the weapons wylde which he is arted, thereby giving bin a feeliag of superionty 13 In war the fighting man needs many of the qualities of the primitive hunter Though these qualities are ele mteatary, the conditions of peace and present-day civilization call them into play to a very limited extent. Fieldsalt must therefore be acquired afresh by the soldier. He must learn to observe, to conceal bimself and to listen; he must be ab'o to remain motionless or to appreciate instinctively the pro tectioa acorded by ground and by natural cover; he shouls be accustomed to work in darkness 3. Responsibility for training 1 The main priociples of the responsibility for training, are. | That the commander of each unit or sob unit ball In responsible for the training of his corrmani (« also Sec 4,11) of instruction are to be encourages.
6 [Chap. I, Secs. 3 and 4. 2. Whilc strict adherence must be given to the principio that cach commander is to be made wholly responsible for the training and cfficiency of his command, his superiors must not forego their functions of guidance and control. They should exercise a general supervision which, without curbing initiative or taking the form of interference, should ensure that the training shall be always on sound lines. Criticism of a discouraging nature tends to discourage initiative and originality, 3. Schools of instruction exist to ensure to all arms and units throughout thc Army a supply of officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, and men with the latest knowledge in specificd subjects. It is the duty of commanding officers to ensure that suitable officers and non-commissioned officers arc sent to these schools, and that they are qualified by previous instruction to obtain full benefit from the courses hold. It is also the duty of commanding oflicers to see that these officers and non-commissioned officers on their return disseminate the knowledge they have gained. Details of instruction given at schools are contained in King's Regulations and in Courscs of Instruction. 4. System of training PRINCIPLES OF INSTRUCTION 1. In addition to lcaders for war, the Army must produce instructors for peace: the development of powers of instruction is thercíorc an important part of training: all officers and non-commissioned officers necd systematic education in the art of instruction. The following notes on teaching are framed for the guidance of junior leaders, but the principles on which they are based should be applied by commanders of all ranks and at all stages of training, and are stressed in the instructions regarding the various training activities dealt with in these regulations. 2. A distinction is necessary between instructing and lecturing. The instructor deals with a small class, preferably six or seven: he aims at educating each individual: he makes the class take its share in the lesson. On the other hand, the lecturer addresses a mass and pre-supposes a certain level of knowledge. (For remarks on lectures, see Sec. 18.)
Chip I. Sec 4 ) 1 3 A good instructor requires the following 1 Common sense Cothusiasm 111 Sympathy with and interest in those under instruction and an understanding of their out look 1v Inow ledge of his subject V A clear idea beforehand of the lessons to be taught ud how he proposes to teach them v1 The abiits to encourage by praisc where praise 13 duc and to avoid sarcasmn There must be a clear object in the rastructors mind for every lesson To train without system and forcsight is waste of time 4 lo method of instructing will be effectue unless it rossesses two ess ntials Simplicity 11 Interest The instructor must set out to teach one lesson only at a time Uncssrntial details obscure the lesson and confuse the mund of the leamer The business of the instructor is to present his lessons in an interesting and varied shape They may take the form Training should not be delayed because of the backwardaess of one or two individual, such mon should be given extra estruction to bring them up to standard 5 The commander must expect and look for mistakes It is by pointing out and correcting mistakes that training progresses Provi led encouragement follons correction criticism of faults due to slackness or neglect should be vnsparing but criticism of shortcomings after an honest attempt must be such as will produce a further and better effort Good work stould always be acknowledge 6 The two main channels of instruction arc Ly the eye and the ear The usual tendency is to train too much by [Chap. I, Sec. 4. car and not enough by the eye. The brain retains more dily and firmly what it sees than what it hears. An tructor must train, therefore, more by the eye than by car. The following sequence of instruction will be opted when practicable :- i. Explanation.--Instruction by the car. ii. Demonstration. Instruction by the eye. iii. Execution.---Testing practically the results of the instruction and correcting mistakes. iv. Repetition.--Practice to gain improvement. PROGRAMMES OF TRAINING 7. Formation and unit individual and collective training programmes constitute an important basis of training. It is the duty of all commanders to examine the programines prepared by their subordinates, and, while allowing them the fullest latitude, to assist where necessary to improve their programmes and schemes; commanders can thus ensure that the training is properly organized and can guide their subordinates without interfering with their responsibilities. REGULAR FORCES 8. The training of the regular soldier may be divided into :- i. Educational, physical and recreational training. ii. Military training. The aim of i., which is dealt with in Educational Training and the Manual of Physical Training, is to improve him mentally and physically as a subject for ii., and to make him a more useful citizen on return to civil life. 9. The training both of the individual and the unit will be progressive and continuous. 10. The initial training of the recruits, officer or man, is the foundation of his military efficiency. It is to be designed to develop the mental, moral, and physical qualities of cach individual. The nature of the training given in elementary stages should vary according to the arm of the service and the capacity of those under instruction. The more complicated the arm the longer will be the period of initial training. This initial instruction is almost entirely a matter of individual training, though the object of making the individual onco Chap. I. Sec. 4.] 9 a tean must receive consideration In order to maintain efficiency, intal training requires annual repetition, varying in degree with the capability of the individual i Individual training 11 Collective training The object of individual training is to prepare the individuat for the duties such he will be required to carry out in war as a member of a sub-unit. The object of collective training is to make sub-units, units and formations in succession, capable of manaovte and co-operation in battle As the season for trooping lease and furlough 10 most stations corresponds with the period allotted to individual training the paucity of numbers present wath unuts may render the principle that sub-unit commanders should be solely responsible for the training of their commands 1aapplicable in its entirety To ensure economy of effort, and to employ to the best advantage the limited number of fully trained instructors available a reasonable centralization as regards the individual training of officers and non-commussioned officers is permitted 12 Individual training is the annual repetition of the 2 ing manuals of each arm) 13 higher 13 to combu and t commanders in this stage of training the necessity for co-operation between arms and services must be kept constantly in view in bugher collective training units combined in formations which themselves form part of higher formations Icard to operate effectusely under the control of a higher commander.
(Chap. 1, Scc. 4. 4. Gencral officers commanding-in-chief will determine dates of the commencement of the individual and collective ining periods for the troops in their commands. The -iods will be chosen to suit climatic and other conditions. TERRITORIAL ARMY 15. The role of thic Territorial Army, in addition to that providing the solc means of expansion to forin a national my, includes the liability of supporting the Regular Army vcrscas in the cvcnt of war. 16. The training of the Tenitorial Army in peace will licrcforc bc devoted towards ensuring that the shortest ossible time will be required after embodiment to completo is training for war. 17. The first step towards this objcct is to concentrate on hc training of leaders and specialists, so that on mobilization There will be a sufficient number of trained personnel to fill thc positions held by officers, warrant officers, and non-commissioned officers in units, and sufficient instructors to train thic recruits required to makc up to war establislımcnts and the personnel to throw off cadres. 18. Thic conditions for training of the Territorial Army difícr from those of the Regular Army, owing to the short periods available and other limitations imposed by its organization. Consequently, under the supervision of the divisional commander, it is the responsibility of commanders of brigades or of equivalent formations to ensure that all cfforts are concentrated on teaching officers and non-com- Dissioned officers the art of leadership so as to fit them for command, and to train them as instructors so as to make them capable of teaching those under them. 19. Under the orders of the commanding officers, permanent staff instructors must devote their attention to the instruction of non-commissioned officers and specialists. Territorial Army ofíicers, warrant officers, and non-commissioned officers must be responsible for the training of their own men. 20. Every opportunity should be taken by leaders and specialists to attend week-end courses at regular depots, command or local courses of instruction, simple tactical cxcrcises without troops, and collective training exercises prior to annual camp.

Administrative training 1 Officers and NGOs will be instructed in the various administrative duties with which they may be faced in peace and war. Such instruction will jaclude 1 Discipline, court martial procedure, pay duties, and accountancy, messing and interior economy within the unit, in peace and war u Medical services and the care and evacuation of Founded a war. bygiene in peace and war ful. Bulleting duties and accommodation of troops in war. » The war time system of Provision and maintenance of food, water, ammunition, petrol, and ordnance stores. 2 Apart from matters of interior economy within tots, administrative work in peace bas little relation to the ad. ministrative requirements of war It is therefore of special importance that staffs and services should receive systematic training in theu administrative war IG [Chap. 1, Secs. S and 9. 3. A vital problem of every higher commander in war is how to maintain the energy and efficiency of his force : questions of supply, maintenance, communications, accom. modation, the morale and health of troops, etc., are involved. Practice in dcaling with such problems can to some extent be given at maneuvres, but must be chiefly sought in exercises without troops. (See Secs, 26, 12, 28, 1, 29, 1, 34, 5, and 47, 1.) 9. Training in co-operation with Royal Air Force units 1. In war the Army is dependent on aircraft for tha performance of certain important doties. The units of the Royal Air Force provided to carry out these services operate under the orders of military commanders and in close cooperation with the various arms of the Army. It is therefore necessary for co-operative training between the two Services to be directed so as to ensure that i. officers of the Army become familiar with the powers, limitations, and requirements of the Royal Air Force; and ii. officers of the Royal Air Force are instructed in the organization, tactics, and employment of the Army to enable them to perform the duties required of them in war. In addition, personnel of both services must be trained in methods by which co-operation is achieved between troops and aircraft. 2. In order to facilitate co-operative training, army cooperation squadrons are affiliated to specific army formations. As far as possible, all arrangements for training should be madc direct between the army formations and the squadron commander concerned. Army formations should assist, as far as possible, in the military training of their affiliated Royal Air Force units. 3. Courses held by the Royal Air Force, assisted by the Army, for the instruction of army officers, and courses organized by army formations for instruction of Royal Air Force officers are invaluable as a means of individual training. Suitable courses are:- i. Co-operation courses, usually held at army co-operation squadron stations, to instruct senior regimental and junior staff officers of the affiliated formations mainly 17 Chap. 1, Sec 9.) in the employment and capabil.tr a 2-T COoperation squadross. 11.

Policy governing the issue and use of maps for training 1. The policy and organization for map suppi, ia mes are laid down in tbe Manual of Military Intelligence; they are based upon toe lact that maps of some sort are necessary for all types of operation, and that in certain circumstances the écrclopment of the fuil power of modern arms in co-operation is dependent on the possession of maps which are pot only accurate but oi suitable scale. To meet these requirements the following types of map are issued :- i. Small scale.--These are used for strategical and general parposes; the normal scale is 1/250,000, bit smaller scales may be issued as Decessary. ii. 31edium scale. These are used for all ordinary tactical and administrative purposes, the normal scale being 1/50,000. iii Large scale.--These are prepared only for limited areas, to weet the requirements of deliberate operations; the normal scale is 1/25,000. Although these scales are adopted whenever completely co naps are prepared, occasions will arise when it may be more coavenieat to use some existiag map, diñering slightly from the normal scale of its type. Much of the world is still unmapped. Although air photographic serrey makes it possible to produce good and up-to-date raps in the field, provided the area can be photographed Fell in advance of the operations, and althoaga units are provided and equipped for the purpose, it mer happen on occasions that, for various reasozs, reliable maps are sot available.

II, Secs. 14 and 15. CHAPTER II INDIVIDUAL TRAINING THE TRAINING OF OFFICERS AND SENIOR NON-COIMISSIONED OFFICERS 14. General instructions 1. The training of officers and senior non-commissioned olticers must be designed to lay foundations and build progressively upon them, so that officers and non-commissioned officers arc fitted for promotion in the ordinary course, or to mcct expansion of the Army due to a major war; further, the system must casure that senior commanders and staff oſlicers arc fitted for their responsibilities in peace and war. 2. It must be the aim of all unit commanders to train con-commissioned officers for work in a higher grade than that which they hold : in the cavalry, artillery, and infantry, scricants must be prepared to command troops, sections, and platoons--in war, they will certainly do so. The same principle will be applied in other arms. 15. Training of young officers on first appointment to regular commissions 1. Thic training given to young officers at the cadet colleges in England, though is has a strong military bias, is primarily one of general education; the military part of the training is on broad lincs, and is intended to give a sound grounding on which later study and training can be based. It must thercfore be realized that the young officer receives his essential military training after he has received his commission. 2. Oficers commissioned from the Royal Military Academy go at once to the school appropriate to their particular arm of the service, where they receive their elementary technical military education before joining their units. Oficers commissioncd from the Royal Military College go straight to their units, and proceed later to weapon training and other courses at the various military schools.

28 (Chap. II, Secs, 20 and 21, 20. Conferences on training 1. During the individual training period conferences of scnior officers should be held to discuss the individual and collective training of the past scason and to consider that of the coming season. At thesc conferences the points brought to notice in the Memoranda on Training (see Sec. 11) should bus carefully noted. 2. Commanders of formations and units should also hold confcrcnces of their immcdiatc subordinates periodically throughout the year, for the purpose of receiving verbal reports as regards training, to cnablc difficulties to be brought to light, and to cnsure the dissemination of sound ideas. 3. Agenda should be prepared for all conferences and issued some timc bcforchand in order that those detailed to attend may come prepared to discuss the subjects for consideration. During the discussion, control by the officer in charge of the conference is essential to its success. 21. Essays and military writing 1. It is important that all officers should learn to express themselves well on paper. Whether it be the drafting of orders and memoranda or the framing of reports, writing, in sonic form or other, forms part of the daily life of every Officer. To improve thcir powers of cxpression on paper, to develop concisc dlought and crystallization of ideas, and to encourage the study of subjects of military interest, officers should be cncouraged to write essays during the individual training period. 2. In writing an essay i. A clear understanding of the subject and of what is required is essential. ii. The subjects should be divided into suitable headings, and these headings should be sub-divided into paragraphs arranged in proper order. Headings, and the general purport of cach paragraph, should be noted concisely clear of the text. jii. Arguments, dealt with in logical sequence, should be balanced against each other and pushed to a conclusion. A mere narrative of events or a rciteration of the remarks of previous critics is Chap II, Secs 21 and 223 79 of ittic valge independent thought must be brought to bear and defnite deductions drawn # The style should be concise and clear All arrelevant matter and exaggeration should be as olded $ quotations should appear in inverted commas and cract references should be on en 22 Appreciations 1 An appreciation is a muitary revies of the situation based on all available information culminating in a statement of the measures recommended to meet it A distinction must be drawn between (t appreciations in connection with subjects elaborated in peace time such as plans of campaign and (u) appreciations of strategical or tactical problems in the field which in the case of minor tactical problezns may not be committed to paper In the former rapidity in compilation 13 iamaterial every knows UT 527mised factor however slightly it may bear on the situation must be considered and recorded since future developments may materially alter its importance In tbc tatter rapidity is generally all important and the time available will seldom admit of all the factors being recorded though they should all receive consideration 3 The value of method is very apparent in war where there are so many disturbing influences and where rapeduty 13 otten of the utlost importance Constant practice in apprecating strategical and tactical situations is therefore essential the habit of making appreciations teaches an officer to arrange hufacts methodically and traing him to arrive rapidly at a logical and sound conclusion 4 Whether appreciations are written or delivered verbally it is of advantage to follow a logical sequence of ideas as this enables the argument to be formulated and grasped more rapidly The accepted sequence is - 1 The object 11 Considerations wbuch affect the attainmuest of tits object u Courses open to the tno sides IV The plan 30 (Chap. II, Sec. 22. · This sequence is applicable to almost all strategical and tactical situations. An opening statement of the situation and in some cases arguments, may be necessary, but the object must always be cicarly stated in a separate paragraph. From the plan in the final paragraph the staff must be able to take appropriate action and write the necessary orders. 5. The heading (if the appreciation be written) should give the title of the appreciation and state from whose point of view it is being made. The place where, and the time and date at which thc situation is being appreciated, should also be included. 6. The object should be clearly and concisely given and should be kept in view throughout the appreciation. It is important not to confuse "object" with "objective." The object can often be stated at the outset, but the selection of the objective, or objectives, to attain that object may only be possible as a result of an appreciation of the situation, 7. Among the factors which might influence the attainment of the object the following may be mentioned: the position, relative strength, armament, efficiency and morale of the opposing forces, including probable reinforcements and the relative resources in men, money, and material of the belligerents, the political situation, topographical and climatic conditions, time and space (an essential consideration in practically every military appreciation), vulncrable points, character of the opposing commander, communications, supply, and transport. It should, however, be remembered that information regarding these and kindred matters is not of itsclf of great value. It is the deductions and infcrcnccs to be derived from such information that are chiefly needed. In the case of proposed movements by sea, rail, or mechanical transport, sufficient detail should be given to show that they are within the capacity of the means of transport available and that the necessary arrangements have been worked out. Though the above and other factors may have to be considered, nothing should be written down that is not essential to the solution of the particular problem under consideration and that has not a definite bearing on it. 8. The arguments for and against each course open to cither side should be briefly discussed, and thcir practicability 22 and 23 ) proved if necessary A distiaction should be drawn between established facts and assumptions since on the accuracy of the latter the soundness of the arguments is largely dependent It is usually better to consider the courses open to one s own side before dealing with those open to the enemy. To reverse thus procedure tends towards a surrender of the initiative When however the initiative obviously rests with the enemy it may be a lisable to consider his probable action first It is important to visualize the situation from the enemy s point of view and in deciding upon his probable action to credit him with acting wisely unless he has shown in the sot that he is likely to act otherwise The discussion should lead logu ally to the plan proposed 9 The plan of action should be definite clear and practical It should be stated concisely but in sufruent detail for a trained staff officer to be able to draft the or lors required !) carry it out It should where necessary be illustrated on a map or by means of a diagram in order that its salient points mai be grasped more quickly The more simple the plan the greater chance there is of ats successful execution giving greater rapidity it usually allows the initiative to be seized The sound css of every plan will depend upon the correct application of the principles of war as enunciated in Field Service Regulations 10 The foregoing paragraphs have dealt with the framing appreciations for strictly military purposes Occasions ill also demand appreciations for submission to a Cabuet ommittee a Minister or other non military personage ch documents should be framed in a readable and narratic m and should avoid technical military style and aseology The factors and considerations which would cern and conviace the recipient should be fully dealt with he expense of a full military review of the situation which 1}} be unnecessary to develop in such papers hey must conclude with the recommendation of a definite be of action 23. Reconnaissance The object of practising reconnaissance is to render and con-commissioned officers capable of performiog ty in war 32 (Chap. II, Secs. 23, 24 and 25. 2. A reconnaissance should be carried out in accordance with the instructions contained in Field Service Regulations, Vol. II, and should be executed in connection with the solution of a definite tactical or administrative problem. 3. It is advisable that junior officers and non-commissioned officers should be taken on to the ground and shown, step by step, how to carry out a reconnaissance, and how to make a report, as a preliminary to being ordered to execute a reconnaissance without assistance. 4. It is inportant that officers should also receive instruction in the issue of clear and definite orders for reconnaissance. An effective reconnaissance is almost impossible of execution without definite instructions as to what is actually required. 24. Promotion examinations The aim of promotion examinations is to ensure that all officers maintain the necessary standard of professional knowledge. Office should pass their successive promotion ex inations early, so that they may be qualified for higher rank in case of a local or national cmergency. Further, if qualification is delayed until near promotion, contingencies of service. may interfere and prevent attendance at one or more examinations. On the other hand, an officer should not enter for a promotion examination before he is adequately prepared, since failure is discouraging and cannot redound to his crcdit. The regulations governing promotion examinations are contained in King's Regulations, 1928, pars. 850-871, and Appendix X. A memorandum on the preparation of officers for promotion examinations is given in Appendix I. 25. Training of senior officers 1. As an officer rises in rank, so do the deminds on his capacity increasc. Breadth of view, power of decision, character, and professional knowledge, necessary qualifications for senior rank, will not be gained by chance their acquisition will be the result of an officer's individual study and effort, and of a system of training which apprehends the essential characteristics of bigher leadership and does all that is possible to produce them.

Chap. III, Scc. 26. CHAPTER III INDIVIDUAL TRAINING-EXERCISES WITHOUT TROOTS 26. Gencral instructions Oct or EXESCISES WITHOUT Troops 1.

Various Times or EXERCISE 2. Exercises mar mange from a platoon T.E.W.T.* to a :rategic cxcrcise concerned with armics. Ilic object and scope of the crercise, the weather, and thc accesibility oi suitable ground will be among the factors determining whether better instruction will be provided by an iadoor or outdoor crcrcise or by a combination of both. Exercises may be divided into two categories," one-sided cxcrcics and two-sided" exercises (ar games). 3. In a "onc-sided " cxcrcise the directing staff determines the action of the cacmy and controls the exercise by the issue of a succession o? situations." Since the detailed action of the cocmy and the locality for cach "situation can be predetermined, such exercises are particularly suitable {ctactical exercises on the ground or sand model. 4.

It may be convenient to show frontiers, important towns, existing railways, etc., by means of an outline map issued with the general idea. In a simple tactical exercise, on the other hand, the opening narrative nccd only consist of a few lines, giving the position of the unit under consideration and the précis of an order from superior authority : such an order will automatically include information of the enemy, information of our own troops and the task to be undcrtaken. 8. Any orders or instructions contained in opening narratives or special ideas, or subsequently issued by the director during an excrcise from an imaginary superior authority, should be carefully framed and should be correct in every detail, in view of their instructional value. 9. In all exercises the problems set should admit of more than one reasonable solution; thereby those under instruction will be forced to weigh the merits of alternative solutions and to make a decision. 10. When deciding the scope of an exercise, and when allotting duties to those under instruction, consideration should be given to the prior importance of training officers and N.C.Os. in the duties of appointments they are likely to hold in war. Consistent with the above, opportunity should also be taken to train leaders and staffs in the duties of the next higher rank. 11. Exccpt in the most elementary exercises, the effect of air operations on strategical, tactical, and administrative questions should receive due consideration. 12. Administrative problems should he studied as they arise naturally in the course of an exercise. At certain stages of an exercise administrative factors may be decisive, and as such should receive full attention at the expense of tactics. CONDUCT OF AN EXERCISE 13. The more closely the proceedings of an exercise are made to resemble war conditions, the greater will be their value. Clear-cut problems do not present themselves in war; uncertain factors, sources of friction, and diversions usually complicate the issue. Information given to belligerents Chap III, Sec. 26 ) should be couched in the forms in which it would com haad in war 14 Exercises without troops afford officers frequ opportunities of making up their minds quickly and of give out verbal orders this is a most important part of trainer While in certain situations good valuc may be gained allowing time for discussion in sindicates in other situation both when making plans and when istuing orders officer should be restricted to the time that would be asztable or service 15 In commenting on solutions to any problem the director should condemn definitels any infringement of principles but should allow latitude in their application The directing staff solation to a problem will have been carefully thought out but it will seldom be the only good solution CoupoSITION AND DLTIES OF THE DIRECTING STAFF 16 The size of the directing staff will depend on the scopo of the exercise for example at a company TLKT for the instruction of platoon commanders the company.com mander would act as director without assistance Tor a battalion TCUT dealing with a small force of all arms for the instruction of company and platoon commanders the directing staff might consist of the battalion commander as director with the adjutant an artillery officer and an engineer officer to help him At more comprehensive exercises the director will need a staff representative of all arms of the service and of all branches of the staff to assist him in controlling the exercise and in criticizing the work of syndicates At a two-sided" *Percuse the directing staff will need to be further claborated y the addition of a control stafi and umpires (see Sec 28, 16) 17 Care and forethought must be given to the organization ad duties of the directing staff ui an exercise is to run 100thly It will be advisable particularly in the case of No-sided exercise to give the directing stall some rehearsal their duties prior to the exercise At one-sided exercises when the handling of syndicates be decentralized to sei cral members of the directing staff situation must be thoroughly discussed by the director bus directing staff prior to the exercise addition to a time table for the exercise governing the Prk is anirain, wiki TANA ED: Bruna in a మnes ani ranasir in Tamil Fri 2 : Thiram k : Ram in మ nIE TITrs -3.

Lacrescs of this type are curried out on the same lines as day outdoor exercises (ham nhauve) but work at tane, conferences are held eich cyoning 11 sin hatry at he same headquarters througi uut the excrcis, operations [Chap. III, Sec. 27. are not continuous, but are regulated by a series of situations issued by the directing staff. Such exercises are particularly suited for brigade or similar formation exercises, in which the commander can practise his unit cominanders and their headquarters, can accustom them to his method of command and orders, and can impress lessons in elementary co-operation with the other arms. In a threeday exercise it is possible to deal comprehensively with situations envisaging attack, defence, and protection, :In example of a time table for a typical exercise of this nature is given in Appendix II. PREPARATIOX AXD CONDUCT OF A ONE-SIDED OUTDOOR SKELETOX FORCE EXERCISE $. Exercises of this kind differ from those previously considered in this section in that the various headquarters of the force concerned are located on the ground as dictated by the progress of events. The provision of intercommunication is an essential feature, The headquarters of actual formations or units may take part as such, or the headquarters in the exercise may be represented by syndicates of selected Officers. Intercommunication should, whenever possible, be provided by signal units in the normal manner. If sufficient signals are not available, extemporized methods of intercommunication, such as the use of the civil telephone system, may be usefully employed. 9. Skeleton force exercises may be used with advantage for command, divisional and brigade exercises, and for artillery exercises. They are particularly valuable for the practice of staff work, co-operation and procedure; and are therefore suitable for counter-battery, air, signal, and similar cxercises. 10. The opening narrative, issued a few days before the start of the exercise, will give the general situation and the superior order on which formations or units are acting. Instructions will be necessary as to the hour of start of the exercise and the initial location of headquarters. 11. The general outline of operations will have been predetermined by the director with a view to teaching the desired lessons. Control may be exercised by him through Chap. III, Sec. 27.) the orders he may issue purporting to come from super authority, and by his regulation of enemy action Except in the case of exercises in which tactics arc major importance, it will usually be possible for the direct to prepare a complete narrative of cnemy action to cover u period of the exercise With the aid of this narrative umpires who should b attached to the headquarters of formations and units, wil be able to issue to their headquarters in the most suitable form and at appropriate times information concerning the enemy and the action of forward troops resulting from the orders issued In exercises 10 which tactics are of major importance, the action of the energy may depend to a large extent on the operations of our own troops In this case it will be advisable for a senior officer of the directing staff to command the imaginary enemy and to work out his distribution and plans througbout the eteresse Other officers of the directing staff sboald be provided, as necessary to assist him in making the detailed enemy dispositions and to convey information concerning the enemy to the umpires at the various bead. quarters The enemy commander should be located where he can best control has assistants and also keep in touch with the director 12. It is possible at exercises of this kind to practise tho emplayment of air forces including the cooperation between corps and divisional headquarters and army co-operation squadrons The air forces and intelligence liaison organization concemed should, if possible, be fully represented and aircrift should carry out reconnaissances, photography, and Arghts for offensic action as ordered The enemy should preferably be represented by ground strips which may be used to convey any particular meanings required by the exercise, but if this canoot be arranged, plots should be interviewed by up pares acting as picture ainters, before and after proceeding on their tasks, to enable hem to transmit the necessary messages whea in the art and 3 convey the required picture of the situation to the intelli- Ace liaison sections when interviewed Picture painters ntrolled by the directing staff will also give the au situation d the results of air fighting In this way the working of air force formation and squadron [Chap. III, Sec. 27. Jcadquarters, including the intelligence liaison section, and of thic general staff of the headquarters, staffs of artillery licadquarters, and the means of intercommunication can be realistically practised. 13. It will be necessary to consider the question of accommodation and food of the various headquarters throughout the cxercise, whicthcr in billcts, inps, or tents. A suitabic scale of motors and horses, not exceeding war establishments, will be nccded by all headquarters to carry out the moves necessitated by the course of operations, and to meet the requirements of reconnaissance and liaison. 14. An example of a time table of a typical divisional cxcrcisc of this kind is given in Appendix III. SAND MODEL EXERCISES 15. Although a sand model can never replace ground for the purposes of training, it is of great value for elementary tactical training. It can be uscd anywhere, in all weathers, by day or by night. It has the great advantage that thic ground, as represented by the sand, can be made to fit the scheme. It is a mistake, therefore, to make an elaborate model of a particular piccc ol ground and to work on this day after day. 16. The same principles apply to the preparation and conduct of a scheme on the sand model as to a scheme carried out on the ground. These are cnumerated in Secs. 26 and paras. 2-6, above. 17. The simplest form of sand table is a rectangular wooden tray with edges 4 in. or 5 in. high, which is placed on any availablc table. A tray 5 ft. by 6 ft. fits on to two barrackroom tablcs placed side by side, and is a convenient size. The tray is filled with 3 in. of sand and arranged so that it will represent a piece of ground suitable for the scheme decided on and the lessons which it is intended to bring out. It will be found that thc sand iſ slightly damped is easier to model than if it is very dry. Accrtain amount of realistic detail is necessary to stimulate the imagination of the students, and can be casily applied to the sand model, e.g., evergreen twigs for woods and trees, tapes for roads, model houses, etc., made approximately to Chap III, Sec 27 ) scale Ir Tro Over elaboration 15 unnecessary and produce teadezcy to retain the same model for a number of exerc on account of the labour and time spent on its preparatio 18 Any scale suitable for the particular scheme can selected but all students from the outset inust be clear regards this scale eg it should be pointed out that this house to that road the distance is 300 yards this wood to that road the distance 18 400 yards etc scale of inches cut on the sides of the sand table 1}} assist quick appreciation of distances represented by the particula scale selected, ie One foot represents 100 yards On inch represents 15 yards etc The sertical scale of the model must be exaggerated in comparison with the horizontal scale It is unnecessary to work to any actual scale of heights 19 Having made the sand model to represent ground suitable for the scheme some tokens will be required to represent troops Iadividual soldiers rifle sections light automatic sections and coramanders can be represented by matches with different coloured heads or halma men In company schemes draughts or dominocs can be used to represcat platoons in close formation 20 Students who are unable to grasp the idea of groun! portrayed on a saod model should place their eyes level with the edge of the sand table when the model will appear much more realistic 21 For elementary instruction simple and definite situations should be created and definite ansaers demanded from the student for example he should be told to place each man of his section on the sand model as he would expect him to be at a certain momcat and to show with his fingers on the model the route by which his section would adsance or to place each map of his section in the fire position ho would recommend etc 22 In addition to elementary tactical instruction the sand boddel can be used for many other purposes eg I for hill warfare exercises u for exemplifying battle drill formations III for teaching reconnaissance and occupation of by artillery or machine guns, IV to slustrate a defensive system, 46 (Chap. III, Sec. 27. + v. to demonstrate intercommunication or maintenance; vi for discussions subsequent to outdoor operations, the sand model representing the ground in question; vii. for instruction in map reading. ELL'TYTANY TACTICAL EXERCISES WITHOUT TROOPS ron TRAINING WITHIX UXITS 23. in the preceding paragraphs the preparation and conduct of " onc-sided cxercises has been considered in geocol terms: in the remaining paragraphs of this section the orplication of such exercises to clcmentary training in units 15 considered. 24. Elementar tactical exercises for sub-unit commanders 2 y be carried out on 3 sand model or on the ground. The object of such exercises should be to give junior officers and non-commissioned officers a thorough grounding in 13ctics 15 applied to the handling of the sub-units of the 1977 of the cervice to swhich they belong, prior to any detailed coniertion of the co-operation of other arms of the service and the Royal Air Force on the battlefield. While the remarks that follow arc framed with reference lo junior commanders of cavalry, infantry, and Royal Tank Corrs, they arc also applicable to the junior leaders of supporting arms, who must Icarn thc clements of cavalry, infantry, and Roral Tank Corps tactics as a basis for instruction in the tactics of their ostin arm. 25. Each schere should deal with the tactics of a sub-unit (squadron, troop, company, pla toon, ctc.) in one or other of the principal tactical operations of war-attack, defence, or protection. 28. Each scheme should aim, firstly, at giving a clear conccption to those under instruction of the normal distribution of the sub-unit concerned in the tactical operation Wiz: which it deals. To attain this end the names, position, and tasks of the vzrious portions of the sub-unit should be brought out and normal frontages and depth, as indicated in the manuals, should be given. The second aim should be to illustrate and iaculcate the principles which should guide the sub-unit commander conccrned in the tactical handling of his command. This cad can best be attained by teaching those under instruction ap IIT, Sec 27.] to approach each problem systematically giving full weg to the following requirements · A clear understanding of orders given and of the obje to be attained 12 A grasp of all the information available regarding the enemy the ground and the location of the troop who are to carry out the operation and how thi Information can be amplificd by reconnaissance in the time available 112 A consideration of alternative plans from a study of the ground and the map having regard to what the enemy is doing and what he is hkely to do how the action of other bodies of friendly troops will affect the situation and how the ground can be used to the best advantage IV The sclection of the plan considered for definite reasons best calculated to attain the object in view ie the selection of a plan which is simple and calculated to achieve surprise which does not involve the breaking up of the organization of units or sub units which does not look too far ahead and which makes the best possible use of the ground v The communication of the selected plan to subordinate commanders ui possible in view of the ground in the form of short concise orders in which a definite task is allotted to each sub-unit 27 It is particularly important in elementary tactica xercises that junior officers and non-commissioned officers hould be taught to appreciate the importance of ground his can best be done by showing them what to look for cach operation es in attack defence and rearguard tions They should be shown that the ground should be died in order to find In the attack (a) covered approaches so that it may be possible to get close to the enemy unseen (6) positions from wbich covering fire to assist the attack can be brought to bear () features the occupation or capture of which will enfilade the enemy s position and enable a flank attack to be made in favourable circumstances 4S (Chap. III, Sec. 27. ii. In defence (a) facilities for observation, so that the enemy cannot approach unseen; (0) positions difficult for the cncmy to locate from the ground or the air; (c) covered approaches in rear of the positions, which will facilitate counter-attack and supply. iii. In scargsard action- (n) positions from wbich long and medium range fire can be brought to bear on any enemy approaching; (b) covered lines of retirement, so that retreat can be carried out unseen. 28. The considerations mentioned in paras. 2-6, above, govern the preparation and conduct of an elementary tactical exercise. The sclcmc itself should be quite simple and the opening narrative (Scc. 26, 7) may be issued verbally or in writing. The problems, based on the opening situation and subscquent narratives, should usually be set in the form of orders issued by the unit commander. By this means of setting problems thosc under instruction will learn to grasp quickly the purport of operation orders and the form which such orders should take. 29. Before and after each exercise, thosc under instruction should be encouraged to study the paragraphs of Field Service Regulations, Vol. II, and the manual of their arm of the service that relate to the tactical operation with which the exercise in question dcals. In this way they will learn to appreciate llow thc principles contained in the regulations should be applied to a concrete problem. 30. To avoid a multiplication of schemes and ensure that thic tactical training within a unit is conducted upon uniformly sound lines, it is advisable that a commanding officer, or an officer deputed by him, should first carry out an elementary tactical exercise for officers, and that, when they have mastered thoroughly all the lessons involved, the officers should in turn carry out the same exercise for their noncommissioned officers on a subsequent day.
op. III, Sec. 28 ) 28. Two-sided exercises without troops (war game 1 Among the objects of a war game may be following i To afford practice to the commander of each sida independent command and in pitting his braio against those of an enemy leader u To practise commanders and staffs in frarı ng an executing strategic plans J! To give practice in situations where opporing forces are, initially widely separated and where the full use of all means of reconnaissance is needed together with the suſting of information comog to Land from all sources. 1 To practise commanders and stalls in maneuvre to join or refuso battle To study specific problems of strategy or administra. tion. SCOPE OF A WAR GAME 2. While war games are particularly suitable for crercises dealing with large formations they may also be uscfully co:ployed to practice brigade and unit commanders in the independent command of a small force of all arms 3 The simplest form of war game will deal with two opposvag syndicates, each representing a commander and his stad More comprehensae exercises may include on each side a commander and his beadquarters and also syndicates repre. senting the headquarters of subordinate formations For example, each side might comprise a corps headquarters with corps troops and beadquarters of divisions or a IVISIOnal headquarters with divisional troops and headnarters of iofantry and artilery brigades It will seldom be found possible to extend the scope of an ercise to include a third echelon of command, orders reach very late, and it is difficult for the director to afford time deal with its problems Although a war game will usually be carried out indoors, HI sometimes be possible and advisable to include in the Cisc reconnaissance of ground such reconnaissance ld be rules ant to the situation obtaining at the time [Chap. III, Sec, 28. 50 PREPARATION OF A WAR GAME (see also Scc. 26, 5-12) 5. In framing the general and special ideas for a war game. the following points should be noticed :- i. Since the primary object of a war game is to practice opposing commanders in leadership, each side should be given an independent mission. Orders from superior authority should allow latitude in the execution of allotted tasks. If "special ideas are framed in which commanders of sides are given specific and detailed orders, much of the value of an cxercise will be lost. ii. Tlie special idcas should place opposing forces three or morc marches apart; thus more scope will be given for an initial appreciation, and at least one subscquent situation can be framed before close contact between the forces eventuates. iii. It is possible to give additional practice in command by dividing a side into parts which are widely separated at the beginning of the exercise : thus each detachment commander as well as the force commander will have scope for command. CONDUCT OF A WAR GAJE (sce also Sec. 26, 13-15) 6. A war game will start by the issue, some days befor syndicates assemble, of the General Idea, and of Special Idea calling for an appreciation and initial orders from each side. In larger strategic exercises it may be advisable to iss by post one or more subsequent situations requiring furth orders from cach side. By this means the period can be covered from the st of liostilitics up to the moment when opposing forces approaching contact, the situation developing according the plans of opposing commanders and the information will have of each other's movements. 7. When syndicates are assembled the exercise ma continued in one of two ways :- i. As a continuous exercise." ii. As a "broken period exercise." 8. A"continuous exercise will involve the schem corresponding with real time. Thus a two days' exerc dcal with two days' progress of events in the scher

The success of a battleseld tour will depend in great masure on the folloring factors: i an accurate and detailed knowleage on the part of the conducting officer of the creats and conditions of the operations, together with the faculty on the part of this officer and his assistants of being able to presenta vivid picture of the situations considered; and ii. a well-planned itinerary and good administrative arrangements. A detailed preliminary reconnaissance is essential. 8. Permission to hold a battlefield tour in a foreiga country must be obtained from the War Ofice in the case of commands at bome. Applications should be forwarded three months before the beginning of the tour and should give the following details: i. The name of the officer in charge. ii. The number of the party. iii. The ports abroad of disembarkation and embarkation, 357th dates. iv. The area to be visited. v. The towns in sshich the party will stay, and the dates. Parties should proceed in plain clothes and be in possession of passports. LXPIRE EXERCISES 9. The object of an umpire exercise is to impress on the unpires of a formation the principles and methods of umpiring. Such exercises will usually be directed by the senior umpire of the formation concerned, assisted by the formation stafi. They should be beld as a preliminary to the collective training season. A tvo-sided mercise should be taken, preferably one that has been carried out with troops during the previous training season: it should be worked through situation by situation on the map or on the ground. Thus problems can be set dealing with the organization of the umpire stafi, the action of senior and subordinate umpires in specific situations, and the methods of intercommunication within the umpire service.

[Chap. Y, Sec. 39, CHAPTER Y EXERCISES WITH TROOPS 39. Various types of exercises 1. The nature of exerciss to be undertaken during coll's tire training will deperd on the need for progressive instruction (Sec 31, 2) and on other factors which will vary in different parts of the Empire. The War Ofice, or the responsible military act city, will give directions from time to time as to the objectire ci higher training (Sec. 1, 2). Local problems of delence, an) of duties in aid of civil poter, may require special co-sitetion in framing training programmes. At all stages of training exercises should be designed to get full value out of the particular type of training som arailable within reach of a station. Pariety, realism, ari a Farlike atmosphere in schewss will hold the icterest of this troops and provide good instruction. 2. Exercises with troops may be divided into oze-504 exercises and thro-sided exercises. In one-sided exercises the enemy will consist of a skeleton and will be contin of the director. In two-sided exercises both sides 721 consist of troops, and the commanders of each side vil tara freedom in the esecution of their tasks. The proportion of one-sided exercises and two-sided exercises to be included in a training programme is dependent on the following considerations: At each stage of collective training, iron platoon to divisional training, it will be necessary to bold certain exucises to teach elementary lessons of tactics, control, and cooper tion For such lessons one-sided exercises will be preferabs. since the director can pre-determine situations both asserts ground and opposing forces, by coatrolling the skeletos enemy. In sub-unit training, there much elementary lastresa is needed, the majority of erercises should be oas-sided. In unit training a proportion of opezded esercises til bo needed, while in formation training the majority of exercises should be tiro-sided, with attendant adiantages of practice in command and realison.
Chap, V, Secs. 39, 40 and 41.) 72 A surfeit of one-sided exercises is liable to cause loss of interest atmong the troops 40. Object of an exercise anarna- 1 . the initial tasks given to opposing commanders, and the initial distribution of troops to the scheme, to bring about tho required type of operations on a selected area 2 The director, both in one sided and two-sided exercises, 19 addition to considering the main tactical lessons to bo stressed, should determine and name to his directing staff and umpires a certain number of subsidiary points to be watched throughout the exercise. . 41. Scope of an exercise A proportion of exercises should extend over a period of 24 hours, or more, so as to practise the realistic development of operations, aight work, and the action of the administrative services in the scheme only at that period The calling of an armistice during operations can seldom 72 [Chap. V, Secs. 41 and 42. be justified: it is difficult to notify its start and end to outlying troops, the fog of war is dispersed, and the realistic practice of administration is affected. 42. Preparation of an exercise with troops 1. Generally speaking, the same considerations govern the framing of a scheme with troops as those inentioned in Sec. 26, 5.12. For both one-sided and two-sided exercises with troops, the scheme will start with the issue of a general idea and a special idea for each side. General and special ideas should be as siniple as possible. 2. Special ideas should be issued in sufficient time to cnable the situation to be explained to all ranks before operations begin. Since it is necessary that the information concerning one side should not be disclosed to the other, all special idcas will be marked "Exercise Secret" and issued in a single envelope similarly marked. All administrative orders and other papers which might disclose information will be treated in the same manner. In this way, while sufficient secrecy will be ensured, it will not be necessary to treat such papers as secret documents and to carry out the full instructions contained in King's Regulations, 1928, paras. 1576-1583, for their security. 3. When the special idca takes the form of an order or message from a superior, or the report of a conversation with a superior, which in war would be koown to the commander of the force alone, it should be issucd only to the commander of the side and to the umpires. It is the duty of the commander to circulate the whole or part of such information, according to his discretion, to those under him. In the special idea for cach side an arbitrary line, visible on the ground, should be laid down beyond which no troops of that side may move before a certain hour. Thus a "no man's land " between the two forces is ensured at the start of the exercise and there will be room for patrols and advanced troops to operate over a more or less cxtensive area bcloro gaining contact with the enemy. 4. It will usually be necessary to publish unit or formation orders dealing with such questions as dress and equipment, distinguishing marks, transport to be taken, supply arrangements, boundaries, and instructions concerning digging,

74 (Chap. V, Secs. 43, 44 and 45. 43. Area of operations In undeveloped countries the freedom of manouvre of troops is often bampered by lack of roads, or lack of crossings over obstacles, rivers, nalas, ctc. It is an important duty of thic director to select arcas for higher training where liberty of mancuvres is obtainable, othcrwise mancuvres may prove dull and uninstructive. By thc crcction of temporary bridges over waterways, and the construction of crossings Over obstacles, the manquvring possibilities of an area may be much improved. 44. Direction of one-sided exercises with troops A onc-sided exercise is framed in order to teach certain definitc and clementary Icssons. The skeleton enemy will be under the more or less rigid control of the director. Usually the commander of the “full strength" side will, in his special idca, receive orders to attack, to defend, or to act 23 advanced guard, ctc., as the case may be: he will thus have limited initiative. Jo spite, however, of these restrictions, which are adopted for instructional purposes, the exercise should be kept as rcalistic as possiblc botlı as regards direction and umpiring. Umpiring should be carried out exactly as for a two-sided exercisc; the plans, strength, and distribution of the skeleton cncmy should be taken into consideration whenever the merits of a tactical cacounter are being assessed. The number of umpires to work with a skeleton force should approximate to that required for a full strength force of similar sizc. The principles developed in Scc. 45, governing the direction ol a two-sided exercise with troops, are to a large extent applicable to thic direction of a one-sided exercise. 45, Direction of a two-sided exercise with troops THE DIRECTOR'S OBJECT 1.

To make thcsc reinforcements available at the right fimc and place requires nice judgment and considerable forcthought. 4. Soon after the general and special ideas have been issued, the director should get into touch with commanders of sides so as to discover the general nature of their plans: if it is disclosed that these plans will not bring about a useful course of operations, the director must take immediate action to adjust matters by one of thc methods of control above mcntionca. 5.

When a " stalemate" scems likely to occur, or operations are taking an undesired course, the director will use one of the means named in paragraph 3, above, to adjust matters. In no case should he give orders to his umpire staff to check forward troops or influence commanders in an arbitrary manner. For example, if it is desirable, from the director's point of view, that attacking troops should not progress further than a certain line by nightfall, it would be wrong for him to order bis umpires to effect this irrespective of the nierits of the situation. Troops and commanders are most sensitive to interference of this nature, since it brings about a situation with which they cannot deal in a practical manner, and interest in the operations is at once lost. In such circumstances the director should influence the attacking commander either by giving him an order from his superior or by bringing some other factor into play, and thus effect the desired check to operations in a realistic manner. operations reach a stage, even prematurely, where useful instruction has ceased and where it is not possible to instil fresh interest, the director should stop the exercise and send the troops home.

The strength of opposing forces is to be estimated by squadrons, batteries, companies, battalions, etc., and not by their actual effectives. 3. Bayopets must not be fixed, or swords drawn, where there are opposing forces. 4. Mounted troops operating on a public road will not more faster than the trot. 5. Firing on a public road will not, as a rule, be permitted, but when a road is unoccupied by the public, with no horses or vehicles near, a single shot may be fired to mark the position. Owing to the danger of stampaling the horses, no firing will take place in close proximity to led borses nor to camps or bivouacs of mounted troops. 6. Artillery will fire blank on the following occasions :- i. On opening fire for the first time from a position. ij. To indicate the engagement of a new target. ii. To indicate the commencement of a barrage or concentration of fire. 7. If operations are temporarily suspended by the director 10 military action of any kind, e.g., obtaining information, ssuing operation orders, ctc., is to be taken by either side luring the pause in the mancuvres.

Chap VIII, Secs 65 and 66 I 91 3 The duty of the umpire staff is to adjudicate situations on their merits and to create a warlike atmosphere appropriate to events it is not the duty of umpires to exercise control over commanders or troops except in so far as they slow down movement by means of casualty screens or order readjust ments after an assault (Sec 70) If the director for any particular reason requires umpires to assist in doing the work of the control stati he must give specific orders to this effect + Both the control staff and the umpire staff will have the duty of watching special points named by the director during the progress of operations (Sec 40, 2) 66. Duties of the chief umpire 1 The chiet umpire will exercise general control of the umpires through the senior umpires of each side all exercises a previous knowledge of the ground is conducive to sound ampie rulings while as a preliminary to a one sided exercise situations which the difictor intends to bring about may be studied in detall 3 Before the start of an operation the chief umpire will nta i tha con Ae LL trods to senior umpires as to how the battle should develop (Sec 69,7) 4—(1072) 92 (Chap VIII, Secs. 65 and 67. He will keep the director informed as to the course of operations, particularly as to decisions of actions of to: combatants which may lead to unexpected developments: he will also notify the director of major umpire Things 25 soon as they are decided upon. Similarly, the director i immediately inform the chief umpire of any measures of control which he intends to exercise (Sec. 45, 3). 6. At the end of the operation the chief umpire 77 osvalls hold a conference of senior umpires with the object of obtaining i. A concise narrative of events. i. Details of the particular matters of tactics and pro cedure watched (Sec. 40, 2). iii. Any points of general interest regarding command, tactics, staff work, or administration brought oct during the exercise. The chief umpire will then be ready to conſer mith the director and assist him in the framing of his conference notes (Sec. 45, 11). 67. Duties of the senior umpire of each side 1. The senior umpire of each side is responsible that the umpires allotted to him are distributed to the best advantage during each phase of the operation. 2. He will hold a preliminary conference with his ampires shortly before the start of operations, in order to inform ibem of the points brought to his notice by the chief empire (Sec. 66, 3), and in order to give them any directions which he may consider necessary. 3. He will be where he can best keep touch with his umpires, the progress of operations, and with the chief umpire. Gooi facilities of intercommunication are the governing factor. 4. He will ensure that the chief umpire is kept informed o! any decisions made by the commander of the side with which he is working, of any umpire rulings of importance, and of the progress of operations. 5. When a tactical crisis of importance is impending do Trik! get into touch with the senior umpire of the opposing siaor the chief umpire, with a view to a ruling being made as to the result of the encounter.

Umpire rulings 1 When contact us imminent forward umpites must push well ahead so as to leart the distribution and intentions of the senior umpire present may be able to give a prompt ruling as soon as it becomes necessary 2 Umpires must take a Lroad view of the situation and not allow their attention to be absorbed and their judgment lnduiy influenced by local and runor episodes which coma under their personal observation 3 An umpire must always report to the chief umpire through the umpire immediately superior to him any important ruling he has gnen This report bould be brief but 4 In judging the conduct of an attack the following points should be considered 1 The compander s plan and the extent to which his orders ensure concentration of superior force against the decisive front and co-operation of the various arms and the Royal Air Force, iſ represented 96 [Chap VIII, Scc, 69, ii. The degree of co-operation actually achieved by the various arms in combining fire and movement, and in providing superiority of fire on the decisive front: also that sufficient time was allowed to make this firc cffcctive. iii. The usc made of ground. iv. Wicthcr thc element of surprisc is present or not. V. The condition of the troops, if affected by length of previous march, previous losses, or repulse. 5. In judging the conduct of the defence, the following points should be considered : i. The commander's plan, and the extent to which his orders casure concentration of fire power for the dcſence of important localities. ii. The distribution of the defending forces, their depth, and the arrangements made for their concealment from ground and air observation. iii. The field of firc. iv. The co-operation of all arms in the decisive stages of the fight. v. The extent to which the position has been artificially strengthened. vi. Tuc use made of counter-attack. 6. In order that the value of determined resistance may bc cmphasized, it is important that a commander of an advanced detachment who decides to fight to the last, should be given all possible credit for any delay or loss to the attacking troops which would have resulted from his action, Similarly, in defence, even where the attacker is adjudged i successful, elements of the defenders which have escaped the covering fire of the attack should be allowed to exert resistance and cause delay. 7. After the delivery of the assault it is important that the ruling of the umpires should be promptly announced and that effect should be given to it by the troops at once. With this cod in view, and after taking all relevant factors ato consideration, the senior umpire on the spot should hrcjudge on broad lines the result of an impending assault .ad notify umpires accordingly. If, during the assault and the phase immediately following it, attacking commanders mishandle their troops, or the iction of supporting arms does not eventuate according to Chap VIII, Secs, 69, 70 and 71.) 97 plan, the extent of success proposed for the attacker can be modulied by the umpires A prompt ruling, which may turn out to be sot n bolly correct owing to the insuficiency of the information available at the time it is given, is preferable to one which is delayed in order to obtain fuller or more reliable information 70. Umpire duties in connection with the assault 1 When an assault has been delivered and adjudged successful, the umpires will order the situation to be dealt with in one of the following ways - The defending troops in the zone of the assault will be taken prisoner by the attackers and dealt with as in war, aiter due regard for the provisions of Sec 69, G for purposes of administration it will usually be advisable for prisoners to rejoin their own units prisoners u The defeated troops that have taken part in the actual contest will be ordered to withdraw by the umpires, either behind defending troops adjudged capable of maintaining their position or to a definite locality at such a distance in rear that a new situation can be created and there will be no danger of a running fight ensuing The successful troops will be allowed to occupy captured positions at once and to continue ther operations after such an interval as the umpires may decide This method of dealing with the assault is suitable for one sided exercises, or for two-sided exercise 10 which small numbers are engaged 2 The director should decide before the start of an opera. tion which method of dealing with the assault will Le employed and will notify umpures and troops accordiogly. 71. Flre effect 1 When depicting the effect of fire umpires must ensuro that the information reaches all troops affected thereby The enemy strength 10 weaposs should bot be stated specui- 98 [Chap VIII, Sec. 71. cally, but the nature (e.g., rifle, machine gun, etc.) and intensity of the fire, the direction from which it is coming, and the degrec of movement possible must be described. 2. To help commanders to realize the relative effect of their own and thc enemy's firc, so that they may take such stops as they consider suitable to the situation, cach troop and platoon vill carry two blue and two red screens whichi, when displayed, will have the following significance Sonora For attacking troops For delending troops Blue l'ader fire of coosiderable Under bre oſ considerable volume. volume.

The red scrccn for attacking troops implies that no nove ment in front of the red screen is possible for formed bodies. It does not prevent individual men from working fonrard from the leading section provided the ground is suitable. If an umpire desires to stop a whole platoon, he should order one red screen to be erected by forrard sections and one by rescrie or rear sections. Screens when once raised must remain so until an umpire orders them to be changed or furled. Screens must be considered only as a rough ocular denionstration of fire effcct, details of which must be given verbally by the umpires to commanders (see para. I, above). 3. I'mpires may at the discretion of the director be required to assess casualties in order to inculcate the devolution of command and the constant reorganization which battle demands, also, on occasion, to practise the evacuation of wounded. In assessing casualties umpires must have due regard to the apparent adequacy, or otherwise, of the measures taken by the body of troops concerned to minimize losses. In attack, infantry casualties vrill lie down until the Tescries of the side to which they belong have advanced Chap. VIII, Secs. 71, 72 and 73.) 99 beyond them They will then, provided the evacuation of wounded 13 not being practised, follow in formed bodies by units In defence, infantry casualties will lie down under cover. Casualties in other arms of the service will be simulated in a manner analogous to the above, the particulat nature of each arm being taken into consuleration 72. Duties of regimental officers of all arms as regards co-operation with umpires Rulings given by umpires must be at once accepted witbout discussion actions t they troops e to an ca K. t...ha 73. Practical examples of umpiring 1 An umpire must not say to the leading troops Put up your red (or blue) screens," and then gallop away The Correct action is to order the screens to be put up and then explain the reason 2 An umpire must not tell troops that they are held up enemy 3 An umpire must not tell a boly of troops that they have been shelled off a hill The correct action is to tell them the number of casualties which are being inflicted and leave them to take whatever action they think fit 4 An unpire must not stop a reserve battalion and tell IL ..
100 (Chap VIII, Secs, 73 and 74. the umpire should inform him of the sound of rifle and machinc-guo fire, so as to convey to him indications of the action of forward troops which he would have in war. 5. An umpire must not tell a brigade commander that the chcmy has withdrawa: the commander must find this out from his forward troops, or observers. 6. Ap umpire must not tell a brigade commander that two of his battalions have suffered heavy casualties and will require time to reorganize. The correct action is to potify these battalions the casualties which they are considered to have suffered in action: the battalion commanders will then inform the brigade commander of what has happened and of the length of time which they will require to reorganize if this is necessary. 74. Special points with regard to umpiring with cavalry 1. In operations in which cavalry are concerned, situations develop very rapidly. The umpires will probably lose control unless they ascertain well beforehand the dispositions of the defeading side and themselves accompany the foremost troops of the attackers. 2. When shock action is employed, the result is usually decisive one way or the other, the defeated force suffering severely in casualties and loss of morale. The ampires, therefore, in decidiag on the result of such encounters, must so arrange that the victorious combatant shall reap the full advantage of his success. 3. Upapires must not allow patrols to reconnoitre and obtain and transmit information in a manner which it would be clearly impossible to adopt in war. The commander of a patrol that bas transgressed in this respect should be told that information improperly obtained must not be communicated. This applies equally to reconnaissance by staff and other officers; it must be remembered that it would be but seldom that a motor car or motor cycle would be used for reconnaissance in a hostile country, outside the protection of forward troops. 4. In umpiring for advanced points and patrols care must be taken by umpires to take up positions which, while enabling them to give rulings at the right moment, will not give a hint of the dispositions of the enemy.
Chap. VIII, Sec. 75.) 101 75. Special points with regard to umpiring with artillery 1. Umpires have two separate duties to carry out in connection with the action of artulcry. They are responsible for keeping commanders informed of the nature intensity, and effect of the artulery fire to which the troops may, from tune to time, be subjected, and for indicating the location and intensity of bostile barrages and the position of heavily Thelle : conclusion of operations It is the duty of the senior artillery umpire with a formation to inform bis umpures when they are to concentrate on the technical side and when on the tactical, it will seldorn bo possible to deal adequately with both at the same time 2 When the artillery fire in accordance with a pre-arranged time table, or carry out organized harassing fire, there will usually be time for a summary of artillery orders or messages to be sent through report centres to the umpires of tho opposing side, who will then indicate tho intensity and effect of the fire to the troops concerned at the proper time 3 In other circumstances it is seldom practicable for the artillery umpure with the battery in action to proceed to the forc. that these umpires should be in!ormed as carly as possible of the general layout of the bostile artillery and particularly of the areas in which their observation posts are situated They will then be in a position to know when the troops with whom they are empiring are visible to bostile artillery observation and may be expected to come under shell fire, and they will be able to paint the picture accordingly Whether the umpire describes the action actually taken by the hostile artillery, or the action he assumes that they are taking, does not affect the trainio, of the troops concerned Any reasonable assumption us preferable to a disregard of 102 (Chap. VIII, Sec. 75. astillery fire, When an assumption of this sort is made and communicated to the troops, it should also be communicated as soon as convenient to the neighbouring umpires so that there may be uniformity or inlormation. 4. Technical umpiring within the unit will require at least one upire for cach battery and one for each brigade. Their duties will be to see that thic various technical calculations are made correctly and in time, and that guns are in fact cngaging targets that have been allotted to them. This is particularly important with anti-aircraft units. An umpire with an antiaircralt battery should notc carefully the lime between the srcognition of the target and the opening of fire, also the number of rounds fired whilst thc acroplane is flying on a steady course within the arc of fire. (Scc. 79,9.) This technical umpiring is very important from the artillery point of vicw; if it is well donc, artillery units will obtain valuable technical, as well as tactical instruction, and plans for artillery support will be kept practical and simple. Artillery brigade uinpires are responsible for passing to report centres such technical information as thc umpires with the opposing sidc rcquirc to kaow (sce para. 3, above) in order to enable them to ca.Ty out their dutics satisfactorily. 5. In addition to thc blank ammunition fired by the guns, umpires con indicato artillery fire by smokc candles. When thic artillery arc firing on a pre-arranged plan, it may be 03exossary for an umpire to call upon the nearest available troops to help lum put down the smoke candics. 6. Target cards, A.F. A 2472, form a valuablc check on artillcry fire. These should be kept by all battery commanders or forward observing officers and forwarded at two-hourly intervals to brigade headquarters, where they will bxc coilccted by the brigade ::mpires. 7. In order to prevent manquvres from conveying false lessons, umpires must always keep in mind the important question of ammunition supply. They should estiniate, from the orders given by battery commanders, the expenditurc of ammunition and ascertain from battery commanders the steps which would be taken to replenish the supply. ll an umpire considers that a battery would liave run out ol ammunition, le should inform the battery commander, who will cease fire until he has obtained further supplies, or until, in the opinion of the umpire, further supplies would have arrived in war.

Umpiring duties as regards works of construction and destruction I In cases where works of construction or destruction have been made out, that the men required have had the necessary tools and materials issued to them and have been on the site of their work for sufficient time to complcte their tasks, and that all other arrangements for the work have been made that mancuvre conditions permit Tl in the nts non of an imn - marly the 3 A house, village, enclosure etc, notified by an umpire as being prepared for delence, will be considered to be occupied if its gratisOn be formed up in, behind or near it. 77.

VIII, Sec. 78. 78. Special points with regard to umpiring in defence against gas 1. The possible use of war gases by an enemy may be represented in peace training either by certain harmless substitutes or, so far as mustard gas is concerned, by marking arcas said to be contaminated by it. 2. Thic substitutes at present in use are as follows: i. A non-persistent tear gas to represent non-persistent gases. ii. Pyridine to represent mustard gas. Where gas substitutes are to be used on a large scale it will be advisable to employ special gas umpires. 3. Where marking is resorted to, the method of contamination and the time at which it was completed should be made known to the first troops to encounter the area. It will be the duty of the umpires to ensure that the areas or localities marked could, in fact, have been contaminated under war conditions in the time and with the means available. 4. Gas substitutes (including the marking of areas) aro not to be used indiscriminately by troops or umpires. They will be employed either as part of a commander's plan, or under the orders of the director to bring out a definite tactical lesson. The fact that the effect of mustard gas is delayed should not be overlooked. 5. In assessing gas casualties, umpires should take the following points into consideration - i. Troops who ſail to wear a respirator in the area of an effective concentration of non-persistent gas should be placed out of action at once. ii. Troops exposed to the action of mustard gas should be placed out of action four hours later, if they mom (a) do not wear respirators immediately gas is detected; () remain exposed to the action of mustard vapour on, or within 100 yards of, the contaminated area; come into contact with grass, etc., contaminated with liquid mustard.

R.A.F. units should always report to the chief air umpire when a patrol is being sent out: this report should show time of departure, number of aircraft, task allotted, and approximate direction of patrol. 5. Casualties will be awarded by the following methods :- i. Impounding reports or photographs recently brought in. li. Delaying the departure of aircraft for a period. lii. Placing out of action R/T tenders or W/T stations for a period. iv. Placing a proportion of aircraft out of action for the remainder of the day. Careless flying in the face of strong hostile A.A. defence, or flying unnecessarily low, will be severely penalized. 6. Aeroplanes attacking troops or transport with machinegun fire will, if possible, use machine guns fitted with muzzle attachments and fire blank ammunition. Umpires investigating the effect of these attacks must take into consideration the fact that in war bombs also would probably be dropped. 7. Aeroplanes, other than those making diving attacks, which are employed in bombing troops and transport, will indicate their action by firing light signals. In estimating the results of the attack the following factors will be taken into consideration : i. Number of aircraft employed. ii. Number, weight, and type of bombs dropped. iii. Height from which the attack is made, 8. Army and air umpires will co-operate in deciding the effect of air attack and anti-aircraft small-arm fire, and will base their decision on the following considerations :- i. Strength of the attack and the tactics and vulnerability of attacking aircraft. ii. The formation of the troops attacked. iii. Degree of readiness of the troops to meet the attack with fire. The air umpire will decide on the probable accuracy of the attack, and the army umpire on that of the anti-aircraft fire. Casualties to the troops will then be awarded by the army umpire, and those to aircraft by the air umpire. When there is no air umpire on the spot immediate action must be taken by the army umpires concerned.
Chap VIII, Sec. 79.] 109 9 Decisions with regard to the effect of anti aircraft artillery fire will be based on the following proce lure Every round fired at an aircraft pursuing a strucht course at constant beight between 3 000 and 10 000 feet for su huiently long to enable correctly aimed fire to be brought on to it will be considered potentially effective provided the correct procedure 13 observed at the gun before the round us fired Army umpires well as far as possible keep a record of such rounds and this record will be handed to the air umpire in the area concerned The air umpire after consultation with the army umpire will award the casualties the number of which will be based partly oa his own observation of the flyrog which has beca carried out within range of the guas and partly on the number of potentially effective rounds which have been bred It has not been found possible to devise an eficient method of indicating to pulots the fact that guns are actually firing For this reason pilots should be informed beforehind or tho general area in which hostile anti aircraft batteries are located 110 (Appendix I.
