Street Riot Drill and Sword Exercise

The formations used in this drill were devised by Lieutenant W. F. Fulhim, U. S. Xavy. Some of the battalion movements were based upon the work of the late General Brownell X. GS. X. Y. The company movements are new. They are of special value, because, in dispersing a mob, it may at times be wise to assign each company of a battalion to a separate street with orders for all to rendezvous later at a certain point. In this manner a mob may be more effectually scattered than by keeping a battalion at all times intact.

The wall scaling maneuver was devised by Lieutenant W. J. Maxwell. U. S. Xavy, whose company of bluejackets on board the U. S. S. Vesuvius was so perfected in this exercise that it scaled a nine-foot wall in thirty seconds Arrangements can be easily made for the instruction of squads in any armory.

The street riot formations are applicable to Army units : it is only necessary to note that the " section" in the Xavy corresponds to the " platoon'' in the Army, and that the 1st, 2d, 3d, and 4th petty officers have the same duties as the. 2d, 3d, 4th, and 5th sergeants respectively
