Table of contents: general survey; infantry (training, preparation for attack, the attack, the battle in the intermediate zone, stabilization, machine guns, special services and supply, liaison, armament, occupation of the sector, counter attacks, raids, defense against aircraft, tanks and gas, and retreat), artillery (preparation, employment of projectiles in the offensive, barrages in the offensive, mobile artillery in the attack, raids, disposition and employment of artillery for defense, anti-tank defense, protection against counter-battery fire, artillery and aviation, and trench mortars), aviation, and some Ludendorff dicta."
