Excerpt from Tactical Organization and Uses of Machine Guns in the Field The machine gun has become a permanent factor in the military tactics of the future. The place it is to occupy in the military world is still to be determined, except that it is acknowledged that the machine gun will constitute a powerful addition to the armament of nations. It is the most recent development of inventive genius as applied to the military art, and has until recently been considered as an undemonstrated thing in warfare. It has at last taken the position of a well demonstrated weapon whose capabilities and powers are as well defined and as thoroughly understood as those of the field-piece or the infantry rifle. The next problem is to determine its tactical place, organization, and uses. Then, in this country, remains the problem of forcing recognition of the merits of the new weapon, and necessity for its proper status, upon a reluctant Congress and public.

Excerpt from The Organization of Machine Guns and Their Tactical Uses With Notes on Training The data collected and reproduced in this little book will be of value to all those inter ested in the development of machine guns. That they will play a vastly more important part in the wars of the future than they have done in the past is generally admitted, but the lines in which the development will take place and the principles Of their tactical em ployment, have yet to be confirmed by the experience of war. The sustained rattle of a machine gun has an immense moral effect in proportion to the actual damage which it inflicts, and to make full use of this moral power it is desirable that it Should come as a surprise when the success or failure of the combat hangs in the balance. Hence both in attack and defence it will prob ably be wise to reserve a proportion Of the machine guns available, for use at Close and decisive ranges where the terrain favours their being brought into action as a surprise.

This book is a translation of articles written in German by the Austro-Hungarian School of Musketry and appearing in a military journal the previous year. What the War Office translators call 'useful instruction' as employed by a potential enemy power - with whom Britain would find itself at war within three years - covers the handling and deployment of machine guns; the duties of a machine gun commander; concealment and other topics. Illustrated with many detailed maps and diagrams. An invaluable read.

This book is a very important text for any student of the development of the machine gun, and contains details of the history of this weapon from its inception to the mid-ppoint of the First World War. The evolution of the machine gun is detailed, followed by examples of the use of the wepon in war, and particularly in the Russo-Japanese War. Tactics are examined in detail, both from the historical point of view and tactics of the First World War, an important part of the book. Training is covered, particularly from the British Army side, and the relevant chapter has much of great value in it. Perhaps the most important part of the book however is the examination of the machine guns of the armies then at war. There is in addition a complete chapter on machine guns in the German Army, which is of specific importance to any study of the tactics on the western front. The book is illustrated with a series of good photographs and a number of line drawings of both early and current machine guns, and there is also a large scale drawing of the Vickers gun.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX. REACTION ON TACTICAL SCIENCE. This review of the tactical employment of machine gnns in the field would be incomplete without some notice of the training necessary for officers and men of the corps, and some forecast as to the influences upon the tactics of the other arms of this new factor in warfare. INFANTRY. The problem of controlled infantry fire at critical moments has been the bugbear of the modern tactician. It is not too much to say that the work of the machine guns in the assault on San Juan Hill at Santiago solved that problem. The infantry deployed under cover of the woods and of their own fire, and the increase of controlled fire necessary to obtain the ascendancy at the critical moment was supplied by the powerful battery of Gatlings, which went into action 100 yards in front of the infantry at the moment of "rapid fire," and played with dreadful accuracy upon the trenches of the enemy until the instant preceding contact. These few minutes have always been a stumbling-block to tacticians, many of whom have insisted that troops must be kept in close order to obtain the necessary control of their fire-action. This will no longer be insisted upon, in the future. The machine guns will be relied upon at all ranges from 1500 yards down to supply whatever controlled fire may be necessary at any particular juncture. True, the infantry will still fire, and its fire will still be "controlled" fire, in a certain sense. The expenditure of ammunition will still be jealously guarded, but its fire-action will be primarily for the moral effect on our own advancing line, and only in a secondary sense to increase the destructive fire-action of the machine guns upon the enemy. It will no longer be necessary to attempt the...

Dr. Richard Gatling invented the world’s first practical machine gun in 1862. Between that weapon and subsequent improved designs, the world’s armies had roughly 50 years to adopt the machine gun and perfect its employment before it helped wreak the carnage of World War I. However, for some reason or combination of reasons, none of the armies of the day saw fit to do so. This thesis explores the potential explanations behind this phenomenon by using the Russo-Japanese War as a case study. The Russo-Japanese War should have demonstrated to the world how the machine gun fundamentally altered the conduct of land warfare, especially since the major world powers all sent military observers to report on the war’s events. This thesis will show, however, that because of a complex combination of the prevalent military tactical culture, bureaucratic pragmatism and logistical concerns, the five major protagonist armies of World War I generally failed to apply the lessons they learned about machine-gun employment from the Russo-Japanese War and as a result were completely surprised by the weapon’s impact on the battlefield ten years later.
