Sharpen bayonet mastery with a proven, field-tested approach

The book presents simple, practical methods for training soldiers to think and act for themselves while moving as a coordinated team in bayonet assaults.

In clear, no-nonsense language, it covers the core idea that skill, speed, and confidence come from continual practice and realistic drills. Readers will see how instructors emphasize eye and brain work, quick decisions, and disciplined teamwork to turn basic movements into effective combat technique.

How to set up safe, effective bayonet dummies and practice environments
Progression from individual stance and thrusts to coordinated company attacks
Structured drills that build accuracy, speed, and strength over time
Guidance for final assault exercises, trench work, and competition-driven practice

Ideal for readers of military training manuals, drill instructors, and historians seeking a window into early 20th‑century bayonet tactics and instructional methods.
