THE ARMY.

IMPROVED SYSTEM TO FORM THE RALLYING
SQUARE.

INSTRUCTION OF Tur. CO]IT.INT•

The following original directions for forming the Rally-
ing Squire (a most important movement) are commanded
to be observed, in Part 2, via.:—

•OF TIM COMPANY.

I. The inspector of the Drill having caused the recruits to fall
out and disperse to a certain distance, will give the won', Form
the liallying Square, at the same time placing himself facing the
supposed enemy the recruits hasten to the person so posted, being
bayonets and shouldering their arms as they reach hint. The two
' that who join hint firm on his right and left, facing outwards, (I )--
The three next place themselves in front of those posted (2), and
three others to the rear, faring to the rear, thus forming a square
of three (3). The instructor will cause the next four men to take
post at the several angles, which will form a square of tire. If
the front rank of either of the faces of the square should be in-
complete, the instructor will till the vacancies from the rear rank.
2. A square thus composed of twenty-four men (besides the per-
' son who is to rally) and funned two deep. may be atihnuented to a
square of seven, three deep, by four men taking post at the angles,
and others cut • g up to comelete the lases as before; the square
I will then consist of forty-eight Inert, and may be augmented in the
same meaner to a square of nine, four deep by the angles being
occupied by four mote men, and the faces tilled up as before; and
the square will then be composed of eighty men.
3. If a mounted licer is to rally tee dispersal men, he will give
the words—Form the rallying square, and live men will form in his
front, the in the rear, and three on the Hanks; the nisi of the for.
nuttion pruceethi rat before.
4. When the Square is to march—ln order to move with the ne-
cessary regularity, previously to putting the square in motion, the
instructor will cause the faces to be drooled; and after the caution
that—The Square a ill move to the Front, Rear, Right, ezi Left,
be will give the worde—inwards Face, and it will face to the
nailed foot of the square, and step od accordingly at dot word—
Quirk March.
a To resist Gavalry.—Upon the word ilalt, the square will halt
and face outwards, and when it is to Prepare to resist l'avalry,
upon the word Ready, the front rank only (if the square is two or
three deep) a ill kneel ; if four deep, the two front racks will kneel,
and plant their bayonets. If ordered to Fire, the standing ranks
only will commence an inelepemient lire, bringing the Ilrclock grit-
dually up to the present.
In this m,u:ncr small dispersed punier, from eight to eighty men,
may be binned to resist an attack of cavalry in an open country,
where, either from fatigue or other causes, soldiers may be sera-
rated from the eel of march. The formation must be Ire-
quently practised in squad and company drill, so that soldiers
thoroughly instructed, may always be enabled to protect themselves
upon an emergency.
