INFANTRY DRILL REGULATIONS, 1911

FOR USE WITH THE

UNITED STATES RIFLE, MODEL, 1917 (ENFIELD)

For troops armed with the United States rifle, Model 1917 (Enfield), the
alternative paragraphs published herewith will govern.

By order of the Security of War:

HUGH L. SCOTT,
Major General, Chief of Staff.

Official:
H. P. McCAIN, The Adjutant General.

The following rules govern the carrying of the piece

First. The piece is not carried with cartridges in either the chamber or
the magazine except when specially odered. When so loaded, or supposed
to be loaded, it is habitually carried locked; that is, with the safety
lock turned to the "Safe." At all other times it is carried unlocked,
with the trigger pulled.

Second. Whenever troops are formed under arms, pieces are immediately
inspected at the commands: 1. INSPECTION, 2. ARMS, 3. ORDER
(Right shoulder, port), 4. ARMS.

A similar inspection is made immediately before dismissal.

If cartridges are found in the chamber or magazine they are removed and
placed in the belt.
