PRACTICAL EXAMINATION.

Every candidate must show his ability to command, under all circumstances, a unit corresponding to that which his rank entitles him to command after obtaining his substantive commission in that rank. The examination will be conducted practically, and by viva voce questions in the field, at the forts, or at the station, according to the arm of the service to which the candidate belongs. In addition to giving the commands, the candidate is to be required to give the explanation of the exercise or manoeuvre to be performed in a clear and audible manner.

The practical examination for officers of field artillery, garrison artillery, and engineers, and for lieutenant-colonels of all arms for which examination is prescribed, will be of an exhaustive character, and is set out in detail for each particular rank, as under:
