To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To support the line of battle, when it is impos- sible for foot artillery to do so, when the dis- tance is great, and when it must be traversed quickly, and when it is necessary to establish fresh batteries at very important points for the purpose of meeting unexpected attacks, and of executing sudden oflFensive manoeuvres. 4. To form large masses of artillery with the re- serve artillery. The combination of horse artillery with infantry is merely exceptional : if the circumstances of an engage...- ment render it compulsory, it should assume the part of foot artillery, without, at the same time, giving up its peculiar capability for manoeuvre, in so far as it may be of use in attaining the object sought for in the combat. SECTION 28. — THE ARTILLERY OF DIVISION IN AN ENGAGEMENT, 1. With an infantry division. The artillery of division, which usually consists of two 6-pounder foot batteries for a division of 12 batta- lions, should augment the fire of the infantry in a tacti- cal point of view, and increase the power of attack and defence of that Arm.
