Lord Roberts on Military Musketry Training

A circular memorandum- has been tau*d fro* the Wat Office respecting tat year's musketry iraming of the IXJ It states that the Commander in-Oheif bas reviewed the various re iS of the Begiilwr and Auxiluuy &of the Uuited Kingdom. The 2Sr.ndnm proceed. :-» Lord Uob- STteoogntae. the deities uuder ifioh the training hM been omied out in many distrtota daring the-past year,; ud !■ irtUftedthat the standard roach- | edlß in the circumstances, geuera.ly c«rtum units -LwMch the remits were balor un wtbKotory, but the names of the efflcen oomnlttdlog these «»l* hiTe £wn noted, and thU fact will be Uken SSt in consider^ their future *dTanoßientici the army. The Commander in CheiE imuatß upon m«Bk«try efficiency i« omoera and -non-commUßloned ofiwer., and Z 8 that the training ot rewruit. demands greatly increased attention. JB\r trained soldiers tbe principals to ""be kept in view are ;-The practice of each exercises &b are calculated to m oriaae Skill In the metboda in quick aim and fire which have been introdao ed, and instruction, both,in barracks in'tip open, in firing exercues designed to train iodividnala to ose their own intelligence and-judgment, and, where possible, individual exercises in tbe field arranged with a dew to practise all ramka in selecting and making the hmt me of natural cover for protection and fire." Hia Lordship also dwells npon fche importance of proficiency in judging distance, the ob-ervation of fire eff-ct by section <sommaijderß, and j tbe tactical employment of machine gcna. The Oommander-in»Chief also flays; IJ The quaafcity of ammunition expend <*d in prissy mietinga and competitions ia largely in rxcass of fchafe used in the further training of indifterenfe shots. Many corps arrange prize meetings to include £> era oi all classes, but It isl evident that the bulk of the ammuni tion which is not fired in obligatory courses is often expended by a com paratively few good shots for match iking purposes. Lord Roberts directs that this practice ia to cease. Not more than ten rounds per officer and "Volunteer from the annual allowance ' of amnaanitfan will be used for company or battalion pr?z9 competitions and] matches,"

The meraorandnm concludes by em pttteising the importance of judging distance practice, for which sosne Vol unteer commanding officers " profess their inability to find opportunity,'" whilst Lord Roberta observes that •Ithere is no reason why judging di@ isnoe shoulcl not form part of every exercise performed away from a drill bill."
