Fire DisciplineNow we come to the individual private on the firing line. All of the above measures for efficiency will come to but little unless the man with the gun can understand and do what he is directed to do. This training is called Fire Discipline. Fire Discipline implies, besides a habit of obedience, a control of the rifle by the soldier (the result of training), which will enable him in action to make hits instead of misses. It embraces: 1st, Taking advantage of the ground. 2d, Care in setting the sight and delivery of fire. 3d, Constant attention to the orders of the leaders, and careful observation of the enemy. 4th, An increase of fire when the target is favorable, and a cessation of fire when the enemy disappears. 5th, Economy of ammunition. Summary Fire Direction is the issuance of instructions regarding the firing. Fire Control is the explanation of these instructions through the platoon leaders. Fire Discipline is the quality which enables the soldier to submit to control and fire efficiently under all conditions. Next: The Service Of Security Previous: Fire Control
