The girl had ten motor trucks to handle and twenty men, three of them noncommissioned officers. After four days, during which trucks had disappeared and mules gone unfed, she asked the colonel for the rank of first sergeant, with only enlisted men under her. Her first official orders were: All trucks must stay together. If one breaks down, the others will stop and help.
If the patrol be required to go beyond the chain of sentinels, the officer or noncommissioned officer in charge will be furnished with the countersign and the outposts and sentinels warned. If challenged by a sentinel, the patrol is halted by its commander, and the noncommissioned officer accompanying it advances alone and gives the countersign.
The orders from the general are transmitted through the colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants and noncommissioned officers to the men. In the same way the orders in industrial establishments go from the manager through superintendents, foremen of shops, assistant foremen and gang bosses to the men.
Rose was like unto him. They were eager for nothing so much as a chance to get into action, and equally determined to stay there. The privates of the detachment were like unto the noncommissioned officers.
Still lying nearly flat, Captain Prescott raised his head, staring ahead into the nearly complete blackness of the night. He was in No Man's Land! It was the sergeant who led the way. He and his detail moved, except at special times, in a fan-shaped formation with the noncommissioned officer ahead, three men on either side of him formed lines obliquely back.
What number of commissioned and non-commissioned officers in a company of foot, or in a troop of horse or dragoons? N. B. Noncommissioned officers are all those below ensigns and cornets. What is the daily pay of a Saxon foot soldier, dragoon, and trooper? What are the several ranks of the 'Etat Major-general'? N. B. The Etat Major-general is everything above colonel.
Of eighty-six officers, sixty-three were killed or disabled; while out of thirteen hundred and seventy-three noncommissioned officers and privates, only four hundred and fifty-nine came off unharmed. By another account, out of a total, officers and men, of 1,460, the number of all ranks who escaped was 583. Braddock saw that all was lost.
He was just young enough, and there was still enough natural health in him, to know the healing touch of a perfect decency, a pure truth of spirit. Yet he had been drunk the night before, drunk with three noncommissioned officers and he a gentleman, in spite of all, as could be plainly seen. He turned his head away from the girl quickly, and looked straight into the eyes of her grandfather.
Thoroughness comes only by actually going out in the country and acting as a patrol. In carrying out this idea the following scheme is recommended: Let four or more men and a noncommissioned officer act as a patrol. They assemble at a certain time, at a convenient point on some country road.
The noncommissioned officer began talking with his comrades about regimental matters without looking at the Russian general.
