Sir: In compliance with the orders of the Bureau of Ordnance
and Hydrography, ofMay last, directing me to prepare a Systen\of
Small-Arm Company and Battalion Drill, and Field Artillery, and
Small and Broadsword Exercises, I have the honor to report the
following pages.
I have carefully avoided a departure from the established drills of
the Army, confining myself to such selections and rearrangement as
appeared to me best adapted to the circumstances and wants of the
Naval service.
Part IV., onthe Small and Broadsword,is entirelybyMr. Seager,
who instructs on those arms at this Institution; also all the plates.
I am, very respectfully, &c.,
Henry H. Lockwood,
Prof. U.S. Navy.
