CLOSE-ORDER DRILL
Close-order formations are sel
dom used In actual fighting; nev
ertheless, they; should bei thorough
ly mastered. Thdy have been work
ed out during centuries of experi
ence as the best means of training
men in soldierly habits of thought
and action. They teach precision,
teamwork, and that prompt and un
hesitating obedience which is so
necessary to military control. The
fac* that you aud your comrades
are thoroughly drilled will be your
beet protection in the hour of bat
tle. I» will give every man confi
dence in himself and in his com
rades and will insure steadfastness
in the face of the enemy.
There are four sections or grades
of close-order drill, which are called
school of the soldier, school of thq
squad, school of the company,
school of the ba'iallon. The wordi
"school' as here used, means a fix
ed method of training.
Pirst of an, you will get the
training included under the "school
of the soldier." This training i*
in turn divided into two parts: In
struction without arms and the
Manual of Arms.
<n._ firct thine vou will
learu is the poitloii of the soldier,
which, has already been explained
in lesson 4.
The Manual of Arms takes you
a step further. It teaches you how
to haudle yoirr rifle properly.
la the school of the squad you
will* execute all the movements
learned in the school of the sol
dier; in addition you will learn,
to keep your correct place in ranks,
lo stack a«d take arms, and' t»
march as a squad.
The school of the company car
j you still further in, your train
ng. In the close-order drill you
will be taught to march in line and.
and iu column an-d to execute a
uumber of simple but very import
act movements. Most of these
movements are bv squads.
The school of the battalion in.
turn applies on a somewhat larger
scale the movements you hare
learned in the school of the com
will be repeated to you by your
panv. The commands of the major
awn captain, or through him by
your platoon commander.
The battalion ig the iargeot unit
in which an officer can make hia
commands heard and clearly under
stood by ail the men; hence, it is
the largest unit in vibich there is
instruction in close-order drill.
A very important thing for you
to Temember is that this progress
ive training in tl>e close-order drill
is'all based upon some very simple
movements which you will learn,
•a the school of tae soldier and the
school of the squad. If you get
these basic movements right so
that you can perform them exactly
and promptly— and you ought to
be able to learn this in a very
short time—you teed have no fear
of the complicated movements of
the school of the company and the
school of the battalion. In reality,
these movements merely look more
complicated, because they; are car
ried out by larger bodies of men.

rheumatic twinges ten years or
more. My hack gave me a great"
deal of bother and sharp pa£ne« ex
tended all through my body. I
was all run down, lost weighjt and
»'as in poor health. Doon's Kid
ney Pills made me feel like a dif
ferent man. My appetite improved
ind the aching and pains reft) me."
(Statement given Jan. 31, 1906).
On April 13, 1916 MiV Sutton
idded: "Whenever my kidneys
iren't acting right I take I>oan's
Kidney Pills for a few days' and
ibey never fail to overcome; tie
;rouble." (
