Kautz’s Officers

CUSTOMS OF SERVICE FOR OFFICERS OF THE ARMY: AS Derived from Law and Regulations AND PRACTISED IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY

Bogen er også kendt som “Kautz’s Officers” og er et “must have” hvis man udfylder rollen som officer i en reenactment gruppe.

“OFFICERS of the Army have certain duties to perform, that are governed by certain laws, rules, and regulations, which are interpreted and executed in a certain way, called “Customs of Service.” To explain what these duties are, and how they are performed in the United States Army, is the object of this little volume. A knowledge of these rules of service, and of their application, constitutes the military profession, and is the true art of war. To this extent it is an exact science, and may be acquired by application and experience; anything beyond this is the application of the art to extraordinary circumstances and difficult tasks, depending on success upon the capacity of the officer entrusted with the execution. “The Art of War,” a la Napoleon, is but the same work by a superior artist.“
