Of drill in the manual of arms a squad Is
kept in CLOSE ordeT'-that is, the dis
tance Of the crook Of the elbow between
the front and rear ranks-certain kinds
OF instruction could not be given in that
formation. The setting-up exercises (cal-
esthentcs) or the bayonet drill could not
be executed at close order. 1t is essen
tlal, therefore, to distribute the men so
that. while they still remain in a precise

hciently separated for each man to have
room for the swing OF his arms and legs
or the charge OF his bayonet. In order
to effect this the squad will execute the
