This Manual is issued by command of the Army Council. It deals with the general principles which are to govern the training in peace and leading in war of Horse, Field, Mountain, and Heavy Artillery, and forms the basis of the Training of R.G.A. Companies armed with movable armament. The attention of commanders is drawn to “Training and Manœuvre Regulations,” Section 2.
Any enunciation by officers responsible for training, of principles other than those contained in this Manual, or any practice of methods not based on those principles, is forbidden as tending to cause confusion of thought and to prejudice successful co-operation in war.
WAR OFFICE, S.W. 9th April, 1914.
