What reading level is The Elements of Field Fortifications for the Use of the Cadets of the United St book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
183 the best position ; in another, it should be placed some distance in front of the work.
A fraise placed in the scarp, when the ditch is swept by a fire from, the work or from ditch de- fences, will be better than if along the counterscarp.
Torpedoes, military pits, entanglements, etc. , m^" all be combined. In some cases, the ground in front of the work will be the better position ; in others, the crest of the counterscarp and the ditches offer the best conditions for their use.
As a genera...l rule, it is advisable to place the ob-^, stacles not nearer than fifty yards to the interior crest, if the profile is a weak one. When the j^rofile is strong, it is not a matter of so much importance, so long as the assaulting columns are exposed to the fire of the defence.
It is well to remark with respect to inundations, that they should not be used until the last moment. The unheal thiness due to the presence of stagnant water is apt to produce more casualties than are to be feared from the enemy's attacks.
