FIRE DIRECTION IS THE FUNCTION OF THE CAPTAIN AND HIGHER
COMMANDERS. ABOVE THE GRADE OF CAPTAIN AND DIRECTION IS
PRINCIPALLY TACTICAL. WITH A CAPTAIN IT IMPLIES THE ABILITY TO
ISSUE CORRECT FIRE ORDERS TO MEET GIVEN SITUATIONS IN ORDER
THAT THE FIRE OF THE COMPANY MAY BE AS EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE.

FIRE CONTROL IS THE COMBINED PRODUCT OF THE FIRE UNIT
COMMANDERS AND THE FIRERS. THE FIRE UNIT IS THE PLATOON.

FIRE DISCIPLINE MEANS STRICT ATTENTION TO THE SIGNALS AND
ORDERS OF THE COMMANDER, AND IS THE FACULTY DEVELOPED IN THE
MEN BY INSTRUCTION AND TRAINING, OF COMMENCING, CEASING, OR
DIMINISHING FIRE, OR OF CONCENTRATING IT UPON A DEFINED OBJECT
IN OBEDIENCE TO THE DELIBERATE WILL OF THE COMMANDER.

NOTE.--It is to be remembered that all grades of commanders are
supposed to be familiar with the duties of all below them.

In issuing orders all Officers, in addition to announcing where they
will be found will give the location of the next higher Commander.

The authorities for statements under the Platoon Leader and below are
not given after each statement but the paragraphs from which they are
deduced are given under the heading for each grade. This course was
thought necessary to avoid repetition.
