Title: Crossing the deadly ground
Description: With the advent of better weapons, the American army learned that massing tight lines of soldiers to attack dug-in defenders would not work as well as it had. Soldiers began to study the issue and develop new field tactics. In 1891 Fort Leavenworth published the first true tactical manual. Not until the advent of the field radio was the problem solved of communicating with troops spread much farther apart.
