Lane of Company E, wete | giving their squads instructions in the various methods of target designation. | It is one thing for a corporal to “spot” | an enemy target and another thing for ' him to designate that target to his| squad in such clear manner that the fire of the entire squad will be con- centrated on the enemy rather than dispersed over the landscape. | Use Special Targets. To enable the officers to observe the recults of their lectures. each squad fs | required to fire upon a landscape target | trom the 1.000-inch range. using service | rifles and ammunition.
