Withdrawal From Action

Categories: OFFICERS' RESERVE CORPS
Military Handbooks: The Plattsburg Manual

The withdrawal of a defeated force can generally be effected only at a

heavy cost. (Infantry Drill Regulations.) When a withdrawal is

necessary, make every possible effort to place distance and a rear guard

between you and the enemy. Have one part of your line withdraw under

protection of the fire of the other part and so on. Reorganize your

command as soon as possible.
