The Big Ideas Of MarchesFor marches to be entirely successful three conditions must be fulfilled: (1) the troops must get there; (2) they must get there on time; (3) and they must get there in good condition. Now suppose that you were ordered to conduct the march of a company of green men for a distance of 200 miles, just how would you solve the problem? Before starting, very careful preparations should be made. Your men should be in good physical condition; they must be given so much work that they are athletes. Keep these points in mind: 1. Always have, when possible, the comfort of your men in mind. Their work in carrying a load of nearly forty pounds and marching around fifteen miles a day will be hard enough. Don't give them any extra hardships. 2. Make the conditions of the march pleasant. Encourage the men to laugh and sing. 3. Use wagons, automobiles, etc., to carry heavy loads (burdens) whenever possible. 4. It is a custom of the service to help a man who may not be strong physically but who is straining every nerve to get there. Be the first to volunteer to carry for him his rifle or part of his burden. 5. Look out especially for the feet of your men and the hoofs of your animals. 6. On long marches one day in seven should be a day of rest and recreation. 7. Never take an extremely hard and long (forced) march unless imperative. 8. As a rule troops pay no compliments on the march. They have enough to do without that. 9. Let the object to be accomplished determine the general conduct of the march (the time of starting, the rate, length of march, halts, etc.) Next: Shelter Previous: Employment Of Air Craft On And Near The Firing Line In The Theater Of Operation
