Author: SCHWIEN, MAJOR EDWIN E.
Title: Combat Intelligence - Its Acquistion and Transmission
Description: Washington, D.C.: The Infantry Journal, Inc, 1936. First Edition. Hardcover. "Information of the enemy forms the base for all intelligent decisions. It is by far the most important factor in the commander's decision, hence the importance of the intelligence section. If this treatise serves the purpose of eradicating from our teachings such pernicious and fallacious phrases as 'probable enemy mission', 'probable enemy intentions', 'most probable enemy action', it will accomplish its principal objective. If, in addition, it shows the absolute necessity for a logical systematic search for essential information, a deliberate, dispassionate evaluation of this information and a prompt dissemination of the resulting intelligence, I shall feel that my efforts have not been in vain." - Foreword. Contents divided into three sections: The Intelligence Factor in its Relation to the Commander; Collection, Interpretation and Dissemination of Enemy Information; Application of Intelligence to Small Units.
