If the range is right at the instruction camp it would be much better to have the companies shoot only a couple of hours a day beginning with 7th week and reduce the other instruction by that much, but so that at the end of the 9th week the work accomplished is the same. 10th Week. [Sidenote: 10th week] A. M. 7 to 11 Battalion drill all but 15 minutes daily, extended order work. Battalion against battalion at least twice. P. M. Monday, battalion outpost instruction. 1 to 5 Wednesday, march by battalion with packs. Instruction as before. Tuesday and Thursday from 1 to 5 and Friday from 1 to 3 instruction by company.

Balance of time field engineering work as before. Friday 9 to 10 P. M. Night drill by battalion. Battalions in turn have battalion dress parade on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Regimental dress parade 4 evenings. School, 7 P. M. as before. Saturday, regimental review and inspection. 12th Week. [Sidenote: 12th week practice march] A seven days’ practice march under war conditions with as much instruction as possible in field service, care of men, especially the feet, and of course in loading wagons, making and breaking camp. Marches, especially the first two or three, must not be long. 13th Week. [Sidenote: 13th week] Work each forenoon from 7 to 11-30 in what, by careful observation, the colonel finds is most needed. No work in the afternoon except as follows: Each man to have gallery practice once, ten shots. Each man to estimate distance once. Companies to have bayonet work for at least two half-hour periods each week and pointing and aiming drill once for some length of time. Dress parade by regiment three times during week. Regimental review and inspection Saturday. School as usual. [Sidenote: Results of training] This regiment can be used at the end of this three months. It will not be completely nor even well trained but it is believed to be the best that can be done in that time. Can we have even this much time without great sacrifice and loss? It is very doubtful, and yet it is not believed practicable to use volunteers with less training except in fortifications.
