Summary "Manual for Noncommissioned Officers and Privates of Infantry of the Army of the United States" is a military handbook produced in the early 20th century, particularly during World War I. This manual serves as a comprehensive guide for noncommissioned officers and privates in the infantry, detailing the procedures, regulations, and drills essential for military discipline and operational effectiveness. The opening of the manual lays a foundation for military discipline and courtesy, emphasizing the importance of obedience, loyalty, and the responsibilities that come with military service. It begins by providing insight into the enlistment oath that each soldier must take, followed by detailed sections on the principles of military discipline, such as the necessity of undivided obedience to superiors and the importance of courtesy in military interactions. The text elaborates on the rules governing saluting and the behavior expected of soldiers in various situations, ensuring that every soldier understands how to conduct themselves both in and out of ranks.
