Advancing Across Wide

The advance in such a succession of
thin lines as that described in the last
article is used to progress across a
wide stretch which is swept. or in dan
ger OF being swept, by artillery fire, or
by long-range rife fire. In short. this
type Of advance is undertaken in
places exposed to a fire which it
would be profitless to return. The ad-

costly (because Of the comparative
concentration of the men in the fire.

to return rife fire against artillery
would be futile. 1t would be almost
equally futile against long-range rife
fire. However, when the thin lines

from 100 to go yards, they may then
be in a better position to return the
fire.
The purpose OF this movement Is to
build up a strong skirmish line at a
point where II may engage in a FIRE
fight. and to build it up with the min
imum cost. This method, while ad-
vantageous from certain standpoints,
also has its drawbacks. Because, dur
ing the progress of the advance. there
is almost entire loss of control over
the company. Each individual is left
to his own initiative in reaching the
new line. but unless otherwise speci-
fed. the advance Is conducted at
quick time, and there is a general
uniformity OF movement.
Yet the seriousness of the loss of
control depends very largely upon the
previous training and discipline of the
company. II this has been of the
proper kind, and the company is suf-
ficiently grounded in discipline. team
work. and esprit d corps. it will con-
