3. _Brigade and Division Training and Manœuvres._--Brigade and division training and manœuvres will take place during the remaining months of the annual course, the time allotted to each being decided by the General Officer Commanding. 4. In carrying out the course it is open to General Officers Commanding, while conforming to the spirit of the above detail, to modify it to suit the circumstances of any particular command. Thus in some cases it may be more convenient to strike off for training each company or battalion for three days during each week; or, at stations where brigade and division training and combined manœuvres cannot take place, more time may be allotted to company and battalion training respectively. It will, however, be exceptional for a battalion not to be trained annually with its own and other arms of the service. 5. During the furlough season every facility is to be given to well conducted men to visit their friends; but this period will be occupied by such officers and men as are present with the battalion in:-- The training of officers in professional duties (see King’s Regulations, para. 676, and “Combined Training,” S. =180=.) The special training of subaltern officers of companies as instructors and leaders. The special training of non-commissioned officers. Instruction of scouts. Company officers, non-commissioned officers and men should have at least two hours physical training every week during the furlough season. Obstacle training. Drill. Visual training (see S. =18=, Musketry Exercises). Training and inspection of signallers. Training of machine gun detachments, and range takers. Training in semaphore signalling. All officers and non-commissioned officers and 20 per cent. of the men to be trained. =179.= _Annual Course of Training of Auxiliary Forces._ 1. The annual training of units will be carried out on the same systematic and progressive principles as have been laid down for the Regular Forces. 2. It is not possible for the Auxiliary Forces in the limited time for training at their disposal to carry out the provisions of the annual course as laid down for the Regular Army, but the spirit of the instructions will be observed. 3. The annual training in camp will be confined to tactical exercises and fire discipline, &c., except in the case of the Militia, by whom drill may, in addition, in very exceptional circumstances be practised. =180.= _General rules for annual training._ 1. _All ranks to be instructed._--Every available officer, non-commissioned officer, and man, with the exception of private soldiers of more than fifteen years’ service, bandsmen, pioneers, and such as are exempted from the annual course of musketry, will be present, and will be relieved of all other duties. Leave or furlough will, on days of instruction, be granted only in very exceptional circumstances.
