Ement of its whole preparation for the field. Field service, its true
duties in reconnaissance and strategic movements, must all be taken into
account as factors of equal importance. I wish to bring this necessity
most especially into the foreground, since hitherto, and particularly in
view of the changed conditions of modern Warfare, it has not attracted
anything approaching the attention it deserves. What do we practise in
the field-service exercises and in the manoeuvres beyond the normal
Cavalry versus Cavalry encounters? Principally, only formal outpost
duties in combination with Infantry, the smallest incidents of War on
the smallest scaled tactical scouting, and the participation of small
Cavalry bodies in the encounter between the combined Arms--all matters
which nowadays come within the sphere of the Divisional Cavalry; and,
indeed, only then when the divisions to which they belong, or even
smaller bodies, are operating independently, for the daily routine of
the Divisional Cavalry in the enormous Armies of the present day will be

as far as the employment of Brigades, and perhaps to the shadowing of an
enemy's line of advance. For the most important field of our enterprise,
