"I never expected it" a disgraceful admission--Every moving
force requires a Guard--Strength (Numbers employed depend
upon size of force protected and tactical situation; Strategical
Advanced Guard enables Tactical Advanced Guard to be
reduced)--Distance--In Advances (Dash and resolution
required but interests of Main Body paramount)--In
Retreats--Training must be realistic--Tactical Principles
(Vanguard for Reconnaissance; Main Guard for Resistance;
Communication essential; Error at Sulphur Springs; Success at
Fredericksburg and First Battle of the Marne; False tactics of
Prussian Advanced Guards in 1870-1871; Excellent work at
Nachod)--Advanced Guard Problems (seven examples, including
"Jeb" Stuart at Evelington Heights).
