No. 6. One Target D, on the ground to the rear of the supervision trench. Note. Targets for the man making the run against Bay 4 are stated. Those for the other men making the run are similarly located.
The Run
The method of making the run will be explained for the man making the run at Bay 4. The other men proceed in a similar manner.
Being in the prone position at the starting point the soldier rises quickly to his feet and advances at the double time (not running) towards Target No. 1, the piece being carried at the "High Port." When within about 8 paces of Target No. 1 the piece is brought to the position of guard and when at the proper distance the target is attacked with a vigorous "Long Point." This is followed by a clean withdrawal.
The soldier then jumps into the fire trench and attacks Target No. 2 or attacks from over the fire trench as is desired. He then climbs out of the fire trench and continues his advance attacking Target No. 3 with a Long Point; No. 4 with a Long Point; No. 5 with a Short Point and No. 6 with a Long Point, each being followed by a clean withdrawal of the bayonet.
Exercise 2
Number of men to make run: Two squads, one at Bays 1 and 2, and the other at Bays 3 and 4.

No. 1. Four Targets D, half exposed on parapet of bay to represent men firing over the parapet.
