HANDBOOK OF THE AMERICAN ARMY 1914

HANDBOOK OF THE AMERICAN ARMY 1914 
Official handbook giving a complete picture of the US Army on the eve of the Great War.
The American Army on the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 was unprepared for global conflict. Since the Civil War of the 1860s, the US had only engaged in small-scale struggles such as the Spanish-American war in Cuba in 1898, a colonial war in the Phillipines, the final Indian wars and intervention in the Civil War wracking its Mexican neighbour. This official handbook of the Army’s organisation gives a complete picture of the US Army in all its aspects: regular and militia forces; conditions of service; the staff; and the three chief branches of the army : cavalry; infantry; and artillery, as well as specialised sections such as engineers, the Signal Corps and the Marines. There are chapters on administration; ammunition, weapons, training, tactics; uniforms and colours, education and the geographical location of army bases. This book provides a complete picture of US military readiness on the eve of its reluctant involvement in world war.
