Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What a Company Officer Should Know Now that the country is involved in war, and there are comparatively few men of real military experience, there is great need for a book like that just written by Major John C. McArthur, U. S. Army. For twenty-three years Major McArthur has served with troops and on the staff, and has had very unusual experience of which he has given the public the benefit. Inasmuch as every one is liable for some kind of service under the Government in War Time, and there have to be a great number of officers appointed from men who have had little or no experience, the author was prevailed upon to write a book setting forth in an interesting, easily read and easily understood form, the problems which confront the company commander from the time he receives the consignment of recruits of which he is to make a company until he has them ready for real work at the front. In writing this book the author has performed a real service to the country by placing in the hands of the men, who are responsible for the lives of the men who constitute the armies, information which can only be gained by long years of experience in the actual performance of the work to be done now. Having been engaged in the preparation of reserve officers for their work and being familiar with the necessities that exist at present in the way of instruction, I take great pleasure in seeing the work of the author placed in the hands of these men, where it will forestall many and many a blunder on the part of the newly appointed officers. I intend to have "What a Company Officer Should Know," by Major McArthur, as part of my field library, as it contains much very valuable information which will be found only in many manuals and circulars, besides much useful advice.
