Excerpt from Koehler's West Point Manual of Disciplinary Physical Training This manual is based upon the experience gathered in this work at the United States Military Academy during a period extending over more than a generation, and upon the direct personal application of the results of this experience to approximately 200,000 men in our new Army, 37,000 of whom were aspirants for commissions. In general, the manual is a revision of Special Regulations, No. 23, Field Training of the Soldier, a syllabus prepared by the author, and published by the War Department, by the direction of the Secretary of War, making it mandatory upon all to carry out this work in the service in accordance with these special regulations. The reason for its publication at the present time is to meet the frequent demands made by those, in and out of the service, who having had a practical personal experience with this method, and who, realizing the present importance of physical training to our people in general, were kind enough to urge its publication in order that this method and any merits it may possess might become as accessible and wide-spread as possible.
