4 1 | permit men assigned to the army to practice military matters
5 1 | themselves to constitute an army, they therefore, cannot
6 1 | So, if this part of the army can now live by such a practice
7 1 | this, they must raise an army. In raising an army, it

13 1 | Deletto in places where the army was (already) organized,
14 1 | uselessness, I say to you that no army is of more use than your
15 1 | than your own, nor can an army of your own be organized
16 1 | as men are brought to the army by commandment of the Prince,
17 1 | Yet I do not claim that an army thus constituted cannot
18 1 | armies were overcome, and the army of Hannibal was defeated:
19 1 | that it can be seen that no army can be so organized that
20 1 | quickly to put together an army for the defense of that
21 1 | more than any other in the army: After this, are the forgers (

26 1 | during the exercises with the army, those of greater courage
27 1 | them. For instance, if an army of five thousand infantry
28 1 | is not enough to make an army, and the payment is unendurable
29 1 | those benefits which an army established in a City bring;
30 1 | where you have organized an army is warlike and disunited,

33 2 | things make the sight of an army beautiful to friends, and
34 2 | original ancient Roman (army) was a round shield, and
35 2 | came against the Roman army of which Lucullus was Captain,
36 2 | Lucullus was Captain, with (an army) of one hundred fifty thousand
37 2 | Tigranus, when he saw the army of the enemy, said: “These
38 2 | the first reliance of an army; for they are necessary
39 2 | and troubling the enemy army so as to keep it continually
40 2 | have this to say, that the army of Parthia was completely
41 2 | a great trial with that army with respect to the region
42 2 | inhabitants rare: so that a Roman army, heavy and slow because
43 2 | resulted the ruin of the army of Crassus, and the dangers
44 2 | principal actions which make an army: for if any army marches,
45 2 | make an army: for if any army marches, encamps, and fights,
46 2 | could exist longer in the army.~COSIMO: Would you have
47 2 | ships ready: so that if your army does not know how to swim,
48 2 | observed and practiced, an army is never good. And without
49 2 | discipline of war, or rather its army as the principal part, which,
50 2 | provide a reasonably (sized) army, none the less, each man
51 2 | it is with others in an army: and those men who carry
52 2 | as a reasonably (sized) army. And as such a general practice
53 2 | them a form of a complete army, training it for several
54 2 | as a Captain arranges his army for the engagement either
55 2 | is apprehensive of, the army ought to be trained for
56 2 | battle. For a courageous army is not so because the men
57 2 | most necessary where a new army is created; and where the
58 2 | is created; and where the army is old (veteran), it is
59 2 | the organization of their army from childhood, none the
60 2 | different as in a complete army; for as much discipline
61 2 | engagements and the complete army.~FABRIZIO: You say the truth,
62 2 | Company, and of the complete army, you will understand that
63 2 | it always happens when an army marches from place to place,
64 2 | these companies into an army, and that this training
65 2 | buglers, are necessary in an army, and it is seen that we
66 2 | halt. It is necessary in an army, therefore, that there be
67 2 | given well, commands the army, which proceeding in step
68 2 | make a miss-step, so an army obedient in its movement
69 2 | that is good in our present army, depends on the example
70 2 | because this part of the army is less corrupt than that
71 2 | from imitating the Roman army, I would have not less than
72 2 | us descend to forming an army which is able to offer battle
73 2 | is the end for which an army is organized, and so much
74 3 | in wanting to show how an army is well organized for undertaking
75 3 | part of) perfection to our army. This will be done, and,
76 3 | time, I will show how an army is arranged for an engagement,
77 3 | men make who arrange an army for an engagement, is to
78 3 | in the first line of the army in solid and deep ranks, (
79 3 | situated at the head of the army between the cavalry and
80 3 | way of the flanks of the army, or into the intervals (
81 3 | were on the flanks of the army, placed like two wings on
82 3 | if I had to organize an army, I would prefer to retain
83 3 | how you would arrange the army for battle with these arms
84 3 | that in a regular Roman army, which they called a Consular
85 3 | which they called a Consular Army, there were not more than
86 3 | greater in number. With this army which consisted of twenty
87 3 | they deployed the entire (army). Therefore, having told
88 3 | tell you how the entire army was organized for an engagement.~
89 3 | therefore, to arrange (an army for) an engagement in imitation
90 3 | disposition of an entire Army would be known: for by adding
91 3 | people in the tail of the army, (and) assigning the Heads
92 3 | charge of the rear of the Army. But returning to the head (
93 3 | to the head (van) of the Army I say, that I would place
94 3 | the deployment of half the Army, and would cover an area
95 3 | Captain general of the entire Army, who should have around
96 3 | of the artillery of the Army suffice for the reduction
97 3 | place in front of the entire army, unless the country should
98 3 | enemy.~This formation of the Army thusly arranged, in combat,
99 3 | As to the strength of the Army, it cannot be arranged any
100 3 | twenty thousand men in an Army, so too ought this one have:
101 3 | and the formation of their Army from the Legions, so too
102 3 | initiate it: for if the army is increased either by two
103 3 | I have so imagined this army, that I see it now, and
104 3 | confidence they have in the Army, which you see with their
105 3 | returned to the flanks of the Army, in order to see if they
106 3 | quickly retire within the army, nor afterward make any
107 3 | therefore I would organize the Army so that it should be able
108 3 | encampments before he led the Army out, which he only did in
109 3 | greater confusion in an Army than to obstruct its vision,
110 3 | put it in the wings of the Army, so that firing it, its
111 3 | who, to blind the enemy Army which was coming to engage
112 3 | in the rear (tail) of the Army until the time the artillery
113 3 | good Captain and a good Army do not have to fear an injury
114 3 | fired)) to retire into the Army because it left the passage
115 3 | follows that as much as an Army is better armed, and as
116 3 | the field and having an Army in an encounter, is to capture
117 3 | locate it on a side of his army from which he can injure
118 3 | will remember)) in your army’s order for battle, created
119 3 | enemy should organize his army similarly to yours, and
120 3 | artillery would disrupt every Army. It is necessary, therefore,
121 3 | creating intervals in your army which give a free path for
122 3 | would be impossible for an Army thus organized and armed
123 3 | first encounter, every other Army organized as modem Armies
124 3 | Swiss do, which, in your Army, have five ranks of pikemen
125 3 | in the last ranks of the army, from which place they would
126 3 | van and the rear of the army, and lend aid to the cavalry
127 3 | vary the formation of the army according to the fitness
128 3 | that you never organize an army so that whoever fights in
129 3 | useless the great part of the army, and if any virtu is eliminated,
130 3 | because I think that an army can be routed with more
131 3 | first front (line) of the army is made solid and dense
132 3 | make the formation of the army incomplete (imperfect).
133 3 | in the rear (tail) of the army to make place for the shield-bearers (
134 3 | go into the tail of the army they can serve whoever the
135 3 | place on the flank of the army when the first company retires
136 3 | become as two wings of the army or do you also want them
137 3 | I have so organized this army, and will (again) explain
138 3 | to show you how it (the army) is organized: the other,
139 3 | knowledgeable. As to the army, I tell you that it may
140 3 | those in each part of the Army, and to know well how to
141 3 | grades of positions in the Army. For instance, the first
142 3 | flag was raised, all of the Army would be in its proper places.
143 3 | first exercise to which an Army ought to become accustomed,
144 3 | you want the flags of the Army to have, in addition to
145 3 | to have the emblem of the Army: all the others should also
146 3 | best to the Lord of the Army, but this matters little,
147 3 | another exercise in which an army ought to be trained, which
148 3 | whistles were used in the army of the Lacedemonians, for
149 3 | was more apt to make their Army proceed with seriousness
150 3 | methods in equipping our Army, so also in choosing sounds
151 3 | not only to inflame the Army, but to be heard over every
152 3 | calls) point out to the Army all those moves that generally
153 3 | very much in training your Army. As to the cavalry, I would
154 3 | organization and training of the Army.~LUIGI: I beg you not to
155 3 | but they in rejoining the Army you indicated the matter
156 4 | another form of organizing the Army which may occur to you:
157 4 | proposed a form for the Army which should fill all the
158 4 | extend the front of your army, unless you have a very
159 4 | very large and very brave Army: otherwise you have to make
160 4 | for example, arrange your army so that you are girded on
161 4 | aware not to arrange your Army on a beach and in a place
162 4 | adjoining hills, where the enemy Army can come; because in this
163 4 | him. Whoever organizes an Army for battle, ought also to
164 4 | of this, in arranging the army, I would have it (the sun)
165 4 | in cavalry, arrange your army between vines and trees,
166 4 | into the rear ranks of the Army. This causes two great disorders
167 4 | noted, that in arranging the Army, placed his legions in the
168 4 | the strongest part of his Army, and therefore, when Hasdrubal
169 4 | Legions in the wings of the Army, and placed his weakest
170 4 | the strongest part of (the army of) Scipio came to fight
171 4 | between one and the other army, gives them time to fire,
172 4 | short time ago, when all the Army is engaged, and the weaker
173 4 | finds himself to have an army larger than that of the
174 4 | surrounding him, arranges his Army with fronts equal to those
175 4 | routed, he arranges his army in a place where he has
176 4 | and as Hannibal had his Army composed of Carthaginians
177 4 | He made the vans of the army full of intervals; and so
178 4 | retire into the wings of the army, so as to make room for
179 4 | placed all the virtu of his army in the second line; whence
180 4 | and enter the wings of the army, and did not bring them
181 4 | this man in arranging the army, since he put the Veliti
182 4 | defeated some other part of the army; and this often has given
183 4 | Spaniards, to overcome the army of Hamilcar, placed in their
184 4 | hurled themselves on the army of Hamilcar and dispersed
185 4 | understood throughout the entire army that everything was happening
186 4 | only did not disturb the army, but so increased its courage
187 4 | killed, in order that his army would not be dismayed said,
188 4 | difficult matter to stop an army already in flight, and return
189 4 | trusted cavalry behind his army, and commissioned them to
190 4 | especially if some residue of the army remains to him. An opportunity
191 4 | attacked the Carthaginian army, which, having killed the
192 4 | concerning the shape of the army, there remains for me to
193 4 | to open (penetrate) the Army of the enemy. In opposition
194 4 | Elephants in front of his Army to open that of the Army
195 4 | Army to open that of the Army of Scipio; Scipio went with
196 4 | center of the van of his Army to push back the forces
197 4 | money, and therefore your Army has to be dissolved in any
198 4 | having known that the enemy Army, because of certain superstitions,
199 4 | guard against leading an army into battle which is afraid,
200 4 | than by dividing it (the army) into several parts, and
201 4 | to place himself with his Army at least fifty miles distant
202 4 | waited until the French Army had crossed the Adda, but
203 4 | Fabius Maximus at home. The Army of Fabius desired ((as you
204 4 | know)) to fight with the Army of Hannibal: his Master
205 4 | desires), he had to divide the Army. Fabius kept his men in
206 4 | together with the entire army, realized it was a wise
207 4 | has to talk to the entire Army, or to its Heads?~FABRIZIO:
208 4 | how to talk to the entire Army, good things can only be
209 4 | and speak publicly to the Army; otherwise he could never
210 4 | things arose by which an Army is ruined if a Captain does
211 4 | planning to raise a new army, and to give this army reputation,
212 4 | new army, and to give this army reputation, ought to accustom
213 4 | when they came into the army; for whenever they made
214 5 | shown you how to organize an army to battle another army which
215 5 | an army to battle another army which is seen posted against
216 5 | show you how to organize an army against an enemy which is
217 5 | understand that a Roman Army ordinarily always sent ahead
218 5 | if it happened that the Army should be assaulted on the
219 5 | the inhabitants nor the Army can injure you. In such
220 5 | usually went on with the Army in squares, for such they
221 5 | have taken as a rule for an Army, in this manner. If you
222 5 | the space taken up by the Army should be two hundred twelve
223 5 | that on every side of that army, space would remain to receive
224 5 | middle of the hollow of their army (formed) in a square of
225 5 | they have to fight, all the army and its members are in their
226 5 | matter how you arrange your Army, you have to take up ((as
227 5 | them ahead in front of the Army must do one of two things:
228 5 | plaza that exists within the Army, and so compartmented, that
229 5 | or from one front of the Army to the other. These companies,
230 5 | of the Tergiduttore.~The Army organized in this manner
231 5 | ahead to reconnoiter. An Army will march in this order
232 5 | camp, since ordinarily an Army marches twenty miles. If
233 5 | assaulted by an organized Army, this assault cannot arise
234 5 | suddenly, because an organized Army travels at its own rate (
235 5 | to that formation of the Army, which I showed you above.
236 5 | cavalry and the wings of the Army. Then, into the voids left
237 5 | placed in the plaza of the Army. The thousand Veliti that
238 5 | placed in the rear of the Army come forward through the
239 5 | first disposition of the Army which we described before:
240 5 | behind the front of the Army; and, therefore, one must
241 5 | at once the front of the army becomes the rear, and the
242 5 | right flank, the entire army ought to be made to face
243 5 | between the wings of the Army, and the cavalry would be
244 5 | becomes the rear of the army. And the other Veliti who
245 5 | you have in your entire Army. And if you are so little
246 5 | method of organizing an Army which is not seen, but who
247 5 | disciplined and trained Army. Captains and Princes have
248 5 | things, nor is a disciplined Army anything else, than an army
249 5 | Army anything else, than an army which is well trained in
250 5 | order to make a path for the Army, ought to be soldiers of
251 5 | have disorganized their Army; hence the voices with which
252 5 | go back”, has caused an Army to be ruined: therefore
253 5 | less impediments in the army: and I would draw the number
254 5 | manner of living of the Army, for it appears to me that
255 5 | Prince ought to organize his army as expeditiously as possible,
256 5 | are to have to keep the army provided with wine and baked
257 5 | living (eating) for the army were Flour, Vinegar, Lard (
258 5 | beasts that followed the Army, which ((as they did not
259 5 | arrangement permitted an ancient Army to march, sometimes for
260 5 | would therefore return my Army to this form of living,
261 5 | it should come into the army, but I would not use either
262 5 | troubles and hardships an army and a Captain avoid, and
263 5 | they had Quaestors in the Army, who were, as we would say,
264 5 | for the other needs of the army. The Consul could indeed,
265 5 | disorders; for when the (enemy) army was routed, all the booty
266 5 | it is not possible for an army while marching from place
267 5 | while they march with the Army, ought, above everything
268 5 | ought to see to it that the Army does not know to which sides
269 5 | march, that one part of the Army does not detach itself from
270 5 | the other more slowly, the Army does not become compacted (
271 5 | themselves in such a peril, their army girded on the rear side
272 5 | have passed on with the army without being able to be
273 5 | guard that side, had his army pass over the flames, having
274 5 | Caesar, who, having his army on the bank of a river in
275 5 | that a Captain with his army is led (caught) between
276 5 | Numidia, whom he had in his army, who were badly armed, and
277 5 | leave the pass free to the army of Lucius. Some Captain,
278 5 | while retiring before the army of the Parthians, became
279 5 | successively: so that the entire Army came to be as under a roof,
280 5 | of what can happen to an army when marching: therefore,
281 6 | front and in the rear of the Army, as it appears necessary
282 6 | time that we quarter this Army of ours, since you know
283 6 | show when marching, how an army turns from a marching formation
284 6 | present arrange to encamp my army, and then you will know
285 6 | know that in organizing the army for marching and fighting,
286 6 | but to assemble a fair army, and composed like the Roman
287 6 | perfect, when a complete army is quartered: which matter
288 6 | to quarter a fair (sized) army of twenty four thousand
289 6 | that all this part of the Army would come to be quartered
290 6 | an office (duty) in the army, leaving some vacant for
291 6 | which are necessary to an Army, except the soldiers; as
292 6 | are used for feeding the Army: and in addition, masters
293 6 | since two parts of the army are organized to make an
294 6 | in the last part of the army.~But let us return to the
295 6 | this, when I think how the army could be easily deceived,
296 6 | regularly have a third of the army remain armed every night,
297 6 | and all the places of the army, with double guards posted
298 6 | observance as any required in the army. Therefore, the laws for
299 6 | that. But tell me, when the army had to take off, what arrangements
300 6 | battalion, so that when the army moved, everyone would know
301 6 | as we showed the Roman army marched.~BATTISTA: In placing
302 6 | as not to disorganize the army; for if you want to keep
303 6 | useful in maintaining an army healthy than exercise: and
304 6 | provisions (on hand) for the army for a month, and beyond
305 6 | secure and more certain. That army, therefore, cannot escape
306 6 | show how a fair (sized) army was quartered. Therefore
307 6 | question, I reply, that if the army has four or six thousand
308 6 | that the regular Roman army had about twenty four thousand
309 6 | another part. We have made our army win an engagement, and I
310 6 | should have present in your army someone who keeps the enemy
311 6 | Nero)) to decrease your army, sending aid to some friend,
312 6 | guards as for the entire army. Likewise, if you should
313 6 | attach a new force to your army, and do not want the enemy
314 6 | he was going to move his army, said: “do you believe you
315 6 | opportunity to observe the enemy army, and consideration of his
316 6 | Coriolanus, when he came with the army to Rome, saved the possessions
317 6 | Plebs. When Metellus led the army against Jugurtha, all me
318 6 | employed by Fabius when his Army had encountered the forces
319 6 | by voice throughout his army that he wanted to undertake
320 6 | above all, what keeps the Army united, is the reputation
321 6 | which are the ruin of an Army. The Ancient Captains had
322 6 | for if an arrow fell in an army, if the Sun or the Moon
323 6 | for a Captain, when his army is in the vicinity of the
324 6 | the vicinity of the enemy army, to send his forces with
325 6 | fugitive, who affirmed that his army was full of discord, and
326 6 | infirm people he had in his army, and having sent some very
327 6 | the stockades around his army in Gaul, gained such a name
328 6 | better, and who has his army better disciplined, has
329 6 | you in disciplining your army is in vain. And do not marvel
330 7 | fills them ((which a large army can do easily)) the wall
