DRILL OF MOUNTAIN BATTERY. This drill
is designed to familiarize the future officers with the so-called
mountain batteries, which are the only class of artillery which
can be used in the mountainous districts where there are no
railroads. In mountain batteries all the gun parts, ammunition,
etc., are carried on horses, mules or other pack animals, and
the drills include the unloading of the packs, assembling the
guns, etc., as well as target practice and the return of the gun
sections to place on the backs of the pack animals.
