Summary "Military Instructors Manual" by Captain James P. Cole and Major Oliver Schoonmaker is a military training guide written during the early 20th century, likely around World War I. The book serves as a resource for military officers, particularly those involved in instructing new recruits in basic military skills, strategies, and command principles. The opening of the manual lays out the purpose and intent behind its creation, emphasizing the need for clear, condensed military instruction to prepare officers for immediate and effective action. The authors note the challenges of modern military training, where officers must quickly assimilate vast amounts of information and apply it to teaching their troops. The introduction outlines the structure of the manual, mentioning a detailed table of contents that includes topics ranging from drill regulations and physical training to first aid and trench warfare, indicating the comprehensive approach taken to cover various aspects of military operations and training.
