Excerpt from Report of the Adjutant General of the State of New Jersey, for the Year Ending October 31st, 1874 The United States Government have adopted a revised system of infantry tactics, with tactics assimilated thereto for cavalry and artillery. This new system, now in use in the Regular Army, has been ordered for the instruction of the National Guard of our State, and the different organizations have been furnished with copies of the work. It would be of great benefit to the service if some proper place could be procured and held by the State as a range to perfect the men in the use of the breach-loading rifle soon to be furnished by the United States. Although the drill of the soldier by company and battalion is indispensable, it is also very important that he should attain a proper proficiency in firing the weapon which he is required to handle. I respectfully call your urgent attention to the need the troops have for some ground for target practice.
