The special object of this instruction is the training of the personnel of the battery in the dispositions and maneuvers requisite for getting the guns into position for action.
Marches are classified under two general heads-those executed in the presence of the enemy, in which tactical considerations govern, and those executed in the absence of the enemy.
The purpose of this is to prescribe those precise drills to be executed by the units of the howitzer company which are not prescribed in TR 50-15, 420-45, and 420-50.
