About this title

Synopsis

The Theory Of The Infantry Movements. With Explanation Of The Plates by Baron Suasso Diaz de Fonseca presents a 19th-century cross-national military treatise that elevates formation as the bedrock of discipline and effective movement. Part I (Formation) surveys how different European powers structure battalions into wings, divisions, and companies, arguing that regular, disciplined formations maximize security, maneuverability, and firepower. The work contrasts French, Dutch, Prussian, Austrian, Danish, and Russian practices to extract common principles—mass, uniformity, proper transition between formations, and the danger of overreliance on practice without theory. It defines core terms (rank and file, depth of formation, open vs close files, the battalion as the unit) and outlines how officers, color guards, and staff keep order. It analyzes open and close columns, route marches, and echelon movements, explaining how to convert between line, mass, and formation, and laying a foundation for subsequent volumes on infantry movements.
