This revision of the Landing-Force Manual has brought it into agreement with U.S. Army Training Regulations, and will insure that recruits entering either branch of the service will be drilled in the same manner, and that men honorably discharged from one branch of the service will be able to enter the other and profit by their previous experience. Each ship, division, and fleet was required to maintain a permanently organized landing force, consisting of infantry, artillery, machine-guns, and other units. The organization was to be flexible, so that any part might be landed, at the discretion of the senior officer present. Condition: Good.
