J.C. Fry, Major General, U.S. Army Commanding: "It is because of my earnest conviction as to the need for a permanent type battle drill for the United States Army that I have directed preparation of this document. It represents the combined thought of many experienced combat officers now with the Second Infantry Division. The officer primarily responsible for its preparation...has a vivid imagination and keen mind to supplement an outstanding combat record. It is believed that the product thus prepared warrants being a permanent part of our combat training literature."
