R|FLEMEN'S SCHOOL
TO TRAIN OFFICERS
WILL OPEN AT FORT SILL
FIRST OF ITS
KIND

-
FORT SILL, Okla, Dec. 21.-The
school of musketry of the United
States army = the only school OF
it's kind in the country-will open
at the reservation here shortly be-
fore the first of January. The ex-
act date has not been decided upon,
as the new buildings which are to
house the school have not yet been
fully completed.
The school is for the training OF
officers and non-commissioned Off
Gals of the army in directing and
controlling the fire of bodies of
troops and in the systematic hand
ling and formation of troops under
fire. 1t was located at Fort Sill
because of the presence here OF the
school of fire for field artillery, with
which it co-operates, and because of
the topography and extent of the 10
cal reservation, which is the largest
in the country. Later on, the war
department intends to install regi-
mental schools in each post and then
the institution here will be turned
into a normal school for the train
ing of teachers.
The idea of mass firing, as OPP
posed to individual Workmanship,
was first conceived by an Italian
general about twenty years ago. 1t
yyac 1nyynInnnd hu tho GnrpoonC ond
finally adopted by the other Euro
pean countries and musketry schools
schools are now established in all
European armies.
The first investigation of the pos
sibilities of mass firing was made
in this country seven years ago at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Cap
tain H. e. Eames, now assistant
,commandant of the school at Fort
Sill, was selected to take charge of
English language on the subject.
The problems and formulas which
he worked out now comprise the
textbook for the army. The results
of the test lessons conducted under
simulated war conditions have dem
onstrated the practicability of the
theory and the need of thoroughly
trained officers, according to army
officials. They point out that two
years ago at the annual rifle meet
at Camp Perry, Ohio, a company or
the best civilian marksmen was
formed to fire in competition with d
company ichOsen at random from
the army. The army shooters, al
though composed of only average in
dividual marksmen, were command
ed by an officer trained in mass fir
ing. The civilians were easily de-
feated.
The reservation at Fort Sill is a
rolling prairie, particularly adapted
to rifle practice at concealed targets.
Besides being taught range finding
and fire control, the officers are
taught the art of concealing troops
from fire and the most advantageous
methods of formation in moving a
body of troops GRO a fire-swept
field, or against an enemy position.
The school is divided into five
classes and composed of Is field Off
GERS, 80 company and troop officers,
Is machine gun officers and 10
non = commissioned officers. The
field officers above the rank of cap
tain are being trained as instructors
to command the regimental schools
which are to be established. Col
onel R. M. Blatchford is command
ant of the school. In addition to
teaching rifle anG machine-gun fire,
the school is entrusted with the test
ing of new rifles. targets and am
munition.
