A divisit with three regiments m. Ay place two regiments in the froj line and one in reserve; a division of four regiments, two the front line and two in reserve. Regiments in tlie front li! may place two battalions in the front line and one in reservJ Battalions in the front line may place two companies in th^ front line and two in reserve. (For formation of small units for attack see Offensive Combat of Small Units. ) 8. Protected by such natural and artificial features of the ground as may b...e found, and by the fire mentioned in Par. 6 (b) above, these various echelons advance to the attack in successive waves. Each wave of the assault battalion usually has a strength of about one man per fire j'ards of front. Under cover of dark- ness or fog this density may be increased. When sections of the advance wave are held up by points of resistance of the defense, these sections are not reinforced for a frontal attack, but together with trench mortars, machine guns, one-pounders, and even artil- lery, they attempt to gain fire superiority over the remaining points of resistance of the defense and hold down their fire, while the remaining sections of the advance waves and the sup- ports and reserves of the attack, closely following the barrage (if there be one), attempt to penetrate the position of the defense, and attack the points of resistance on the flanks and rear.
