Excerpt from Military Preparedness and the Engineer
Engineer Field Manual, U. S. Army, and a number of cuts have also been reproduced from the same source. Chapter VI, Engineer Troops in the Field, is taken almost entirely from an article in the Official Bulletin, General Staff, Vol. 1, No. 4, Dec., 1914. The matter was so important, as giving specifically and in detail the duties of the Engineers under all conditions, that near ly half the original article is here reproduced.
The matter in Chapter V, on rifle instruction, illus trates the methods devised and used by the Author in his own company.
Acknowledgment is made to Prof. Whitaker, of the Department of Engineering Chemistry, Columbia Uni versity, for permission to reprint his excellent article on High Explosives.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author provides a candid view of the United States shortcomings in military preparedness at the time of writing. The author emphasizes the severe lack of trained officers and the serious consequences it would bring in the event of war, and offers a solution. The author believes that the civilian engineer represents the best hope for the country as they can be transformed into effective officers with minimal training. He insists that the survival of the nation depends on a motivated, organized, and wellâ"trained National Guard, and that a reserve corps of engineers, trained to serve in the event of war, is essential. Should the United States find itself at war, a force of highly-trained engineers would be imperative to the success of the nation, and engineers are urged to enlist as a patriotic duty.
