Square

Battle of Waterloo

	Alexander Dialog John 1993-12-03
		Infantry move at the same rate of speed as an army and attack with the same strength.
		Thus a common ploy would be to attach an army to an infantry unit(s) when moving against an enemy city; the infantry could fight off enemy pieces leaving the army free to attack the city.
		Also infantry could be used in combination with helicopters as a rapid deployment force or as a means of quickly jumping across narrow straights separating two continents and establishing a beachhead.

	Infantry square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An infantry square is a battle tactic of infantry when faced with cavalry.
		It was revived in the 14th century as the schiltron, in the 15th century as the pike square and again in the 17th century for mass, musket-armed forces.
		Similarly squares could be arranged in a checker-board formation to give supporting fire as cavalry broke around a single square.

	Chapter XV: Conclusion
		Infantry could not move forward without engineers and artillery; artillery could not provide adequate fire support without a constant supply of ammunition; quartermaster troops supplied food and clothing; signalmen served as the link between the arms and support units; and medical personnel cared for casualties of all types.
		The square division was adopted for the peacetime Army because Army leaders relied upon their World War I experience and believed that the unit could be adapted to maneuver and mobility.
		Infantry divisions dominated World War 11, due primarily to the influence of such leaders as Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall and Lt. Gen.

	Republique Introduction
		Square Markers - Square markers indicate that all of a formation's sub-units (usually battalions) are formed into squares, which are potent anti-cavalry defenses.
		Unlike skirmish markers, square markers do not represent an extension of a unit's combat capacity, and therefore they cannot be attacked or "killed." A unit which is "in square" however, will be subject to all of the advantages and disadvantages associated with this special formation (see Formations below).
		Infantry Square - Not shown are infantry squares, which are indicated using square markers in conjunction with existing formations.

	Chapter IV: The Aftermath of World War I
		Machine gun units were eliminated from the infantry brigades, and the divisional machine gun battalion was replaced by a tank company, which was to serve as a divisional mobile reserve.
		The peacetime infantry division was thus cut to 11,000 with all elements retaining their integrity except the division headquarters and military police companies, which were combined.
		The other two planned infantry divisions could be organized after the first seven had reached their reduced strength level, and when all nine attained that level one or more divisions could be increased to full manning for war.

	The 32nd 'Red Arrow' Infantry Division in World War II - 32nd 'Red Arrow' Veteran Association
		When the Division was called up, it was basically the same “square” division that it was during World War I. It was centered around the 125th and 126th Infantry Regiments of the 63rd Infantry Brigade from Michigan and the 127th and 128th Infantry Regiments of the 64th Infantry Brigade from Wisconsin.
		When the 'square' National Guard divisions were 'triangularized', each was required to create one tank destroyer battalion from surplus units (for some reason, the 41st Division was not faced with this requirement).
		As a result, the 125th Infantry Regiment was detached from the Division; and the three existing artillery regiments (120th, 121st and 126th) were converted into four battalions (120th, 121st, 126th and 129th; three battalions of 105 mm howitzers and one battalion of 155 mm howitzers).

	The Tactical Use of The Three Arms (1865)
		If the square is charged by cavalry, the gunners run into the square, after filling their ammunition pouches, which they take in with them, as well as their sponges and other equipments.
		When used to prepare for an attack of infantry or cavalry, artillery concentrates as much fire as possible on the point where the attack is to be made, in order to overcome the resistance there, and thus make success easy.
		Though the ordinary use of artillery is against infantry and cavalry only, special circumstances may render it expedient that a certain portion of it should respond to the enemy's batteries.
