The formation is so easy to understand that no one who knows man from man can
						possibly go wrong. For some have the privilege of leading; and the rest are
						under orders to follow. Orders to wheel from column into line of battle are
						given verbally by the second lieutenant acting as a herald, and the line is
						formed either thin or deep, by wheeling. Nothing whatever in these movements
						is difficult to understand. To be sure, the secret of carrying on in a battle with any troops at hand
						when the line gets into confusion is not so easy to grasp, except for
						soldiers trained under the laws of Lycurgus.
