Night OperationsBy employing night operations troops make use of the cover of darkness to minimize losses from hostile fire, to escape observation, to gain time. (Infantry Drill Regulations.) They are dangerous because control is difficult and confusion is frequently unavoidable. Only trained troops should be used, and the formation must be simple. Don't attempt anything complicated. Observe the following suggestions. For an attack or offensive movement: (1) Study by daylight and after dark, if possible, the ground you are to cross. (2) Make careful preparations with secrecy. (3) Avoid fire action. Pieces should not be loaded. Rely on the bayonet. (4) Give each unit a definite objective and direction. Avoid collision. (5) Have each man wear a distinctive badge. (For instance, a white band on one arm.) If on the defensive and you expect a night attack, place obstacles in front of your position, heavily patrol your front, fix bayonets, move up your supports, open fire as soon as results may be expected, and illuminate the foreground.
