What reading level is Applied Principles of Field Fortification for Line Officers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"To secure concealment and a proper location and dispersal of field works, obviously no special rules can be laid down. In each case what is required is an appli- cation of a trained common sense to the particular prob- lem offered by the terrain." 64. Dummy Trenches or Parapets.^ln case con- cealment of the general position is not possible, decep- tion must take its place. The trenches actually occupied must be so arranged as to afford concealment of the in- dividual man, and dummy trenches, p...urposely made easily visible, may be arranged to draw the enemy's fire.
Dummy trenches should, if practicable, have head cover, not only to make them more conspicuous, but also to make it more difficult to discover whether they are occupied or not. They are better above and behind the occupied trenches, if the lay of the ground permits. The enemy will observe that fire comes from the direction of the dummies and will conclude that it comes from them. Fire directed on the dummies Avill pass over the heads of the defenders, a condition preferable to shots falling short, which would be the result of dummies in front of the occupied trenches.
