First, we need artillery that is both longer ranged to prevent the disaster at Ladysmith, and something that is lighter and handier than the 15 lb gun that comprises the majority of the Royal Artillery.
Our first artillery recommendation is that the Royal Horse Artillery be expanded to provide one 6 gun battery of quick firing mobile guns to each infantry division, with a gun along the lines of the French 75 or the Vickers QF naval gun. This gun is to provide the RHA attachment to the Cavalry divisions as well.
Our second artillery recommendation is that the Royal Foot Artillery be re-eqipped with the QF 4.7 inch gun already used by the Royal navy, with the existing stock of 15lb guns to go to the Yeomanary, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and Indian Armies.
Our first cavalry recommendation is that two squadrons of Cavalry be assigned to each infantry divison, to enhance their ability to do reconnisance, support lines of supply and scout in general.
Our second cavalry recommendation is that half of the Cavalry squadrons are to retrain as Dragoons ie mounted infantry who move by horse and fight by foot, and are to be equipped with the same weapons as the Infantry. Cavalry squadrons that remain Cavalry are to use the same carbines, sabres and so on as they do at present.
Our first Infantry recommendation is that marksmanship training be emphasised, with one day per month being allocated to practice of rapid and accurate shooting. Officers should ensure that the various regiments compete against each other in marksmanship, marching, boxing and sporting events, to ensure regimental pride. Divisions should compete against each other in similar manner.
Our second Infantry recommendation is that Divisional scale maneuvers be done at least once in every seven years, so officers get experience in handling bodies of men beyond a single peacetime regiment.
Our final recommendations is that officers spend one month per year at the Imperial War College, with particular emphasis on working together with the Engineers, Artillery and Cavalry. Every officer must understand what each arm can and cannot do, and ideally should have spent time on secondment to another arm.
