Keep absolute silence. Forbid all lights. No smoking allowed.
204.—Reconnaissance.
The itinerary should be reconnoitered beforehand, if possible, and index stakes planted; otherwise an officer should precede with a luminous compass and men to plant the stakes.
205.—No fire before charge.
Do not answer the enemy's fire until the charge.
206.—Quickness essential.
Success depends above all on the rapidity and continuity of the advance. Get there as quickly as possible.
