Being in the prone position at the starting point the soldier rises quickly to his feet and advances at the double time (not running) towards Target No. 1, the piece being carried at the "High Port." When within about 8 paces of Target No. 1 the piece is brought to the position of guard and when at the proper distance the target is attacked with a vigorous "Long Point." This is followed by a clean withdrawal.
The soldier then jumps into the fire trench and attacks Target No. 2 or attacks from over the fire trench as is desired. He then climbs out of the fire trench and continues his advance attacking Target No. 3 with a Long Point; No. 4 with a Long Point; No. 5 with a Short Point and No. 6 with a Long Point, each being followed by a clean withdrawal of the bayonet.
Number of men to make run: Two squads, one at Bays 1 and 2, and the other at Bays 3 and 4.
_Targets_: The targets are given only for the four men making the run against Bay 4. Those for the other three bays are similarly arranged.
_No. 1._ Four Targets D, half exposed on parapet of bay to represent men firing over the parapet.
_No. 2._ Four Targets D, lying on ground or in shell crater a few feet in rear of the bay.
_No. 3._ Four Targets A or C, in the open area about midway between the fire trench and the supervision trench.
_No. 4._ Four Targets D in the bottom of the supervision trench.
_No. 5._ Four Targets E, a few yards in rear of the supervision trench.
The run is conducted in the same manner as explained for Exercise 1. Additional precautions will have to be taken to prevent the men from injuring one another with their bayonets.
The line attacks Target No. 1. The men jump over the fire trench landing on the parados and immediately attack Target No. 2. The line passes on towards Target No. 3, jumping all trenches encountered and attack Target No. 3 with a parry and a point if Target C is used and with a point if Target A is used. The line then goes into the supervision trench and attacks Target No. 4, climbing out immediately and advancing on Target No. 5 which is attacked by a "Jab."
In order to save time a second line may be started from the starting line when the first has passed beyond the fire trench and towards the supervision trench.
