REACTION ON TACTICAL SCIENCE. This review of the tactical employment of machine gnns in the field would be incomplete without some notice of the training necessary for officers and men of the corps, and some forecast as to the influences upon the tactics of the other arms of this new factor in warfare. INFANTRY. The problem of controlled infantry fire at critical moments has been the bugbear of the modern tactician. It is not too much to say that the work of the machine guns in the assault on San Juan Hill at Santiago solved that problem. The infantry deployed under cover of the woods and of their own fire, and the increase of controlled fire necessary to obtain the ascendancy at the critical moment was supplied by the powerful battery of Gatlings, which went into action 100 yards in front of the infantry at the moment of "rapid fire," and played with dreadful accuracy upon the trenches of the enemy until the instant preceding contact. These few minutes have always been a stumbling-block to tacticians, many of whom have insisted that troops must be kept in close order to obtain the necessary control of their fire-action. This will no longer be insisted upon, in the future. The machine guns will be relied upon at all ranges from 1500 yards down to supply whatever controlled fire may be necessary at any particular juncture. True, the infantry will still fire, and its fire will still be "controlled" fire, in a certain sense. The expenditure of ammunition will still be jealously guarded, but its fire-action will be primarily for the moral effect on our own advancing line, and only in a secondary sense to increase the destructive fire-action of the machine guns upon the enemy. It will no longer be necessary to attempt the...

Download or read book The Lewis Gun written by Neil Grant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War I, the British adopted the US-designed Lewis gun as an infantry weapon, realizing that its light weight and the fact that it could be fired both prone and on the move made it ideal for supporting advances and defending captured trenches. Later adopted by an array of countries from the Netherlands to Japan, the Lewis successfully served as the primary or secondary armament in armoured fighting vehicles and in both ground-based anti-aircraft and aircraft-mounted roles. Although it was superseded by the Bren in British service in 1937, the outbreak of World War II meant that thousands returned to active service, and it played a key role as far afield as Libya, with the Long-Range Desert Group, and the Philippines, with the US Marine Corps. Written by an authority on this iconic light machine gun, this is the fascinating story of the innovative and influential Lewis gun, from the trenches of World War I to the Libyan desert and Pacific islands of World War II and beyond.

Book Synopsis Battle Tactics of the Western Front by : Paddy Griffith
Download or read book Battle Tactics of the Western Front written by Paddy Griffith and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have portrayed British participation in World War I as a series of tragic debacles, with lines of men mown down by machine guns, with untried new military technology, and incompetent generals who threw their troops into improvised and unsuccessful attacks. In this book a renowned military historian studies the evolution of British infantry tactics during the war and challenges this interpretation, showing that while the British army's plans and technologies failed persistently during the improvised first half of the war, the army gradually improved its technique, technology, and, eventually, its' self-assurance. By the time of its successful sustained offensive in the fall of 1918, says Paddy Griffith, the British army was demonstrating a battlefield skill and mobility that would rarely be surpassed even during World War II. Evaluating the great gap that exists between theory and practice, between textbook and bullet-swept mudfield, Griffith argues that many battles were carefully planned to exploit advanced tactics and to avoid casualties, but that breakthrough was simply impossible under the conditions of the time. According to Griffith, the British were already masters of "storm troop tactics" by the end of 1916, and in several important respects were further ahead than the Germans would be even in 1918. In fields such as the timing and orchestration of all-arms assaults, predicted artillery fire, "Commando-style" trench raiding, the use of light machine guns, or the barrage fire of heavy machine guns, the British led the world. Although British generals were not military geniuses, says Griffith, they should at least be credited for effectively inventing much of the twentieth-century's art of war.
