HOME-READING COURSE FOR
CITIZEN-SOLDIERS
(Issued by tlie War Department and all rights to reprint reserved!
This course of thirty daily lessons is offered to the men
selected for service in the National Army as a practical help
in getting started in the right way It is informal in tone
and does not attempt to give binding rules and directions.
These are contained in the various manuals and regulations
of the United States Army, to which this Course is merely
introductory.
LESSON NO. 13
GROUPING MEN INTO TEAMS
| NOTE;—This lesson is based upon |
| the present organization of the United
States Army. Some changes may be
made later.
(Preceding Lessons: 1, Your Post]

I dier; 3, Nine Soldierly Qualities; 4,!

Days in Camp; G. Cleanliness in Camp;
7, Your Health; 8, Marching and Care

the Game; 12, Team Work in the
Army.)
The smallest unit or "team" in the
Army is the squad. A squad usually
consists of eight men, one of whom is'
the leader; he is called the "corporal."
You will be assigned to a squad al
most at once on entering the Army.
At first, you may be shifted about
considerably from one squad to an
other, but within a short time you
and seven other men will be brought
together as a permanent team. This
means that you will work together,
drill together, and sleep \f the same
tent or in the same section of the
barracks. You will come to know the
other men in the squad through and
through and they will become equally
well acquainted with you. .some of
them will probably grow to be your
close and lifelong friends. "On the
other hand, there may be one or two
men whom you dislike or do not re
spect.
The Squad Unit
In any case remember this: The
eight men in a squad form a team in
the same sense that a baseball nine
or a football eleven is a team. Your
squad Is competing with all the other
squads in your company. Whenever
it shows itself especially well drilled,
quick to learn new duties or careful
in respect to cleanliness and general
bearing, you pile up a few points in
your favor. The umpires are the of
ficers of your company; and you may
bo certain they are watching you
every minute of the day—not watch
ing for chances to criticize but
watching hopefully for signs of sol
dierly spirit and intelligence.
It is your first duty to help your
own squad make a good showing. Alsot
it is to your own interest to do so.
There is no more pleasure or reward
j for you in belonging to a poor squad
I than there is for a ballnlayer in be
longing to a losing team. Take pride
in your squad and its good work. If
you find you have one man among you
who is lazy or childish, try to get him
into a different attitude. Every squad
has at least one weak link. The best
way to handle him is to talk to him
until you get him as much interested
as you in making your squad rank as
the best in the company.
Incidentally, your captain is not
likely to overlook the best squad
when it comes to picking men for
promotion.
The Plnfonn nnd the Company
Two, three or four squads (usually
three) may be joined in the next
higher unit, which is called a "pla
toon.' The platoon, however, is not
so permanent as a squad, but is
formed whenever there is need for it
in drilling or on the firing line.
Next comes the company, which is
made up at full strength of 150 men;
this is about eighteen squads or six
platoons. This number is "war
strength" in our old tables of organ
ization; the first division now in
France has 200 men per company; it
is probable the strength may be 250
per infantry company. However, these
figures for the number of squads and
of platoons are never definitely fixed.
A company in the field is very seldom
at full strength, and it may be con
venient at any time to change the
numbers of squads and platoons.
The company is a permanent "team"
in the sense in which we have been
using that word. Its members always
live together, eat together, drill to
gether, and fight together. All me
officers and soldiers in a company
become well acquainted. Each man's
points of strength and of weakness
are known. Outside of your own
company you will probably know very
few men, only those with whom you
come into contact by accident or
while you are serving on some special
duty. This is something worth think
ing about. You are probably going to
live, eat, drill and fight with the other
men in your company so long as you j
remain in the Army. The sensible i
thing to do is to conduct yourself In j
such a way as to command the liking :
and respect of these men from the
very beginning.
Four companies are Joined in a "bat
talion." The battalion is an import
ant unit in the Army organization,
but is not so clearly marked as either
the! company or the regiment.
Regiment*, HrlKiMleH unil Division*
The regiments consists of three bat
talions, making twelve companies. In
addition, there are three special
companies which do not beldng to any
of the battalions. These are the head
quarters company, including the band
and the color guard; the machine-gun
company, to be referred to later; and
the supply company, responsible for
the regiment's food, ammunition and
other supplies. Counting in everyone,
the regiment at full strength in our
old tables of organization totals 2,058
officers and men. It will go more
than this with the Increase in
strength of companies; 2,631 is the ]
strength of infantry regiments in the
first expeditionary division. The regi- !
ment is, of course, very seldom at full
strength, but is never allowed to re
main b.elow a minimum strength of
about 1,400.
The regimfent is the unit that espe
cially arouses the soldiers' pride and
loyalty. The most cherished tradi
tions of the Army are made up of
the splendid deeds of famous regi
ments. The soldier identifies himself
throughout his life by identifying his
regiment. His love for the Army cen
ters in his regiment. His most sacred
memories cluster around the , regi
mental battle flags.
Two regiments are joined in a bri
gade. Thus the brigade is built up
by assembling individual soldiers
into squads; squads Into platoons; pla
toons into companies; companies into
battalions; battalions into regiments,
and regiments into brigades.
Brigades may in turn be joined to
form divisions, divisions may be Joined
to form corps, and corps to form field
armies. All of the Army's divisions
and separate detachments and de
partments taken together form the
"big team" —that is to say, the United
States Army. The make-up of the big
team is treated in a later lesson.

LESSON NO. 14
THE TEAM LEADERS
(Preceding Lessons: X, Your Post

dier; 3, Nine Soldierly Qualities; 4,

Days in Camp; 6, Cleanliness in Camp;

?£ , cet: 9 ' You '' Equipment and Arms;

Army; 13. Grouping Men Into Teams.)
I Most of the men in Army are pri
vate soldiers. Their work is of the
greatest importance and deserves all
the respect and praise which it re
ceives. A great many men in the
National Army, however, will be am
bitious to rise to higher ranks. They
will lind plenty of encouragement and
of opportunities for promotion.
If you are one of these men, don't
allow yourself to forget the fact that
you can win promotion only by proving
your fitness in each duty intrustert to
ycu. It is a rare case when a man is
"jumped" several ranks ahead. As a
rule, he climbs from one rank to
the next higher rank after having
demonstrated in each position his in
telligence, honor and reliability.
Even as a private, you may win ad
vancement to the grade known as
first-class private. About one-fourth
of the privates in each company may
be given the rating "first-class",
which means in substance that they
are regarded as skilled and trust
worthy soldiers.
NoiicomnilHHinneri Officer*
Front the first-class privates are
usually chosen th ecorporals. These
are the squad leaders. They are ap
pointed by the commanding officer of
the regiment on the recommendation
of the commanding officer of the
company. In addition to the regu
larly-appointed corporals each com
pany may have one lance corporal.
This is a temporary appointment
made by the company commander for
the purpose of testing the ability of
some private whom ho is think
ing of recommending for per
manent appointment. In case the
lance corporal does not make a good
showing, or for any other reason, he
may be returned to the ranks when
the commander of the company sees
fit.
Next above the corporal in rank
comes the sergeant. There are usu
ally nine to eleven sergeants in a
company. Unless a sergeant has
some other duty assigned to him. ho
is normally the leader of a platoon.
There are, however, many special
duties constantly assigned to ser
geants. The first sergeant (in Army
slang, the "top sergeant"), for exam
ple, keeps certain company records,
forms the company in ranks, trans
mits orders from the company com
mander, and performs many other
important tasks. The supply sergeant
sees to bringing up supplies of all
kinds to the company. The mess ser
geant looks -after food. The stable
sergeant is responsible for the proper
,care of horses and mules. The color
sergeant carries nie national or regi
mental colors. These are. many other
grades within the of sergeant
which cannot be described here.. You
will gradually become familiar' with
them during your army experience.
Officer*
and corporals are known
as noncommissioned officers, because
they are appointed by their regi
mental commanding officer. Officers
of higher ranks are known as com
missioned, since they hold their rank
by virtue of a commission issued to
them under authority of the President
of the United States. The commis
sioned officer is thus on quite a dif
ferent footing from the "noncom"
(noncommissioned officer). He ob
tains his rank and authority from a
higher source. He is treated with
respect which is of a different char
acter from that extended to a non
commissioned officer. This is one of
the fundamental things in Army or
ganization.
Lowest in rank artiong the comnii*
sioned officers is the second lieuten
ant. Above higi comes the first lieu
tenant and above him the captain.
These are the three "company of
ficers." The captain is ordinarily the
commanding officer of a company,
while the lieutenants might be de
scribed as assistant captains. In the
absence or disability of the captain,
however, the first lieutenant takes his
place and has full command, and In
the absence of disability of both, the
second lieutenant takes the command.
Next above the captain is the major,
whose proper command is a battalion.
A step higher is the lieutenant colonel
and above him the colonel, the com
manding officer of a regiment. The
lieutenant colonel ordinarily assists
the colonel and in his absence takes
the command. In case both the lieu
tenant colonel and the colonel are dis
abled or absent, the senior majoi
takes the command.
The General Officers
Above the colonel is the brigadiet
general, whose proper command is a
brigade. Above the brigadier general
is the major general, the highest rank
at present held by any officer of the
American Army.
One general, however, serves as
chief of staff of the Army. As such
he supervises all troops and depart
ments of the military service. He in
turn reports to the Secretary ot
War. The Secretary of War in his
turn acts under the general direction
of the President of the United States,
who is commander in chief.
The chain of authority reaches in
an unbroken line all the way from
the President to the newest recruit.
If the President chooses to give an
order which in any way affects the
recruit, it passes through the Secre
tary of War, chief of staff, major gen
eral, brigadier general, colonel, major,
captain, sergeant and possibly cor
poral until the recruit is reached and
the order obeyed.
Ordinarily only the most general
instructions are issued by the higher
officers. The manner In which these
instructions shall be carried out is
left to the Judgment of officers in
close contact with the troops and with
a more intimate knowledge of the
conditions under which they are
working.

There are summer days yet before you, but the profit time is past for us. Many

thought and these women of foresight will save handsomely.
Store Betterments
—We're constantly striving to better this store. Better stocks, better store arrange
ment, better service.
—Some important betterments inaugurated for the new season add greatly to the
store's attractiveness and helpfulness.
—The women's and misses' apparel and millinery sections now occupy twice the
space they formerly used.
—Muslin underwear and corsets are in enlarged quarters on the second floor.
—Other changes have been made, too, that will enable us to better handle our in

—We are selling merchandise at less prices than is warranted by the replacement
costs.
—And it is true that what you buy now is to your advantage.
—Keeping the store expense down permits us to sell the goods as near economy
figures as possible. So every penny you save a store will come back to you. One way
you can help to keep prices down is to carry your parcels if possible. This not only
helps the storekeepers but aids the government in matters of men and gasoline to help
carry on the war.
