Thor brigs& having marched put in column of battalions, a;
quarter distance, and having reached the original alignment, clos.d
to the front of battalions, and formed a line of contiguous column.
to the reverse Sauk as the leading battalion, thus inverting th‘i
order of battalions ; each battalion then countermarched by ranks".
which recovered the inversion, and gave a contiguous line o 7
columns, left In front.
cheat celerity is given to the movements of extensive belies,
particularly in all changes of front to the rear, by the application of
battalion movements on their own ground, so as to inv*t the order
of a bri eor division ; this inversion can never be attended with
any cm int or confusion whatever, provided a battalion i.,
in Itself, never inverted ; and a change of front can by this means
be accomplished in an extensive line, or in line of contiguous
coluenqs, in the same lapse of time at a single battalion (A.)
whereas, when It is performed by the whole line (B.), the time of
ezecation is augmented in a corresponding ratio to the number of
battalions of which it is composed !
It may therefore be laid down as a general rule, that great
bodies may be invented, without any liability to confusion, in the
order in which their component parts (battalions) may have been
originally placed ; but that battalions are never to beinverted is
the order in which their Ceinipaaiu are arranged by the established
formation.
