| Summary | "Night Operations for Infantry" by C. T. Dawkins is a military training guide composed for company officers during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. The book primarily focuses on the techniques and strategies needed for conducting effective operations during nighttime, which is increasingly recognized as a vital aspect of modern warfare. Dawkins emphasizes the importance of systematic training for soldiers to adapt to the unique challenges presented by such conditions. The content of the book delves into various elements crucial to executing successful night operations. It covers the significance of meticulous preparation and accuracy in reconnaissance, the training necessary for soldiers to overcome the natural anxieties associated with darkness, and the tactical adjustments required for both offensive and defensive actions at night. Dawkins provides detailed guidance on how to approach navigation, maintain communication, utilize auditory cues, and engage in combat without resorting to gunfire, emphasizing the importance of the bayonet as the primary weapon. The book serves not only as a practical manual for military leaders but also as an insightful reflection on the evolving nature of combat in the context of technological advancements in warfare.
