Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. [16], 153, [13] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Originally published under the title: Regulations for the order and discipline of the troops of the United States: to which is added an appendix containing the United States Militia Act, passed in Congress, May 1792. Boston: I. Thomas and E. T. Andrews, 1794. On February 23, 1778, Frederick William Baron von Steuben reported to General George Washington at the Continental Army's encampment at Valley Forge. Steuben brought a depth of military training and grasp of command techniques. Steuben formed a model drill company of one hundred men, transformed it into a precision unit copied throughout the ranks, and captured the imagination of the entire army. His record of drill instructions, written in brief installments, grew into the Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States. This manual of military training and procedures remained the official U.S. military guide until 1812. Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand Freiherr von Steuben (born Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin Louis Freiherr von Steuben; September 17, 1730 - November 28, 1794), also referred to as Baron von Steuben, was a Prussian-born army officer who played a leading role in the American Revolutionary War by reforming the Continental Army into a disciplined and professional fighting force. His contributions marked a significant improvement in the performance of U.S. troops, and he is consequently regarded as one of the fathers of the United States Army. Born into a military family, Steuben enlisted in the Prussian Army, which was considered the most professional and disciplined in Europe. During his 17 years of military service, Steuben took part in several battles in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), rose to the rank of captain, and became aide-de-camp to King Frederick II of Prussia, who was renowned for his military prowess and strategy. Steuben's career culminated in his attendance of Frederick's elite school for young military officers. In 1775, as the American Revolution had begun, Steuben sought some form of military work. He joined the U.S. war effort through mutual French contacts with U.S. diplomats, most notably ambassadors to France Silas Deane and Benjamin Franklin. Due to his military exploits, and his willingness to serve the Americans, Steuben made a positive impression on both Congress and General George Washington, who appointed him as temporary Inspector General of the Continental Army. Appalled by the state of U.S. forces, Steuben taught soldiers the essentials of military drills, tactics, and discipline based on Prussian techniques. He wrote Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States, which remained the army's drill manual for decades, and continues to influence modern U.S. army manuals. Steuben addressed widespread administrative waste and graft, helping save desperately needed supplies and funds. As these reforms began bearing fruit on the battlefield, in 1778, Congress, on Washington's recommendation, commissioned Steuben to the position of Inspector General with the rank of major general. He served the remainder of the war as Washington's chief of staff and one of his most trusted advisors. After the war, Steuben was made a U.S. citizen and granted a large estate in New York.
