Leonard Wood provides his interpretation and addresses criticism of General Orders 16 and 44, concerning marches and training in the Philippines Division. Wood argues that hard work in the Philippine climate is possible and necessary rather than harmful, drawing examples from his experience in Cuba. Modifications of the orders for the climate include not marching under the midday sun, and lightening the equipment required for training exercises. Wood underlines the necessity of the the “cheerful cooperation of officers” in carrying out training. Wood concludes that the idea that Americans will not endure the “severe training” needed to prepare them for combat in the Philippines is dangerous, not to be tolerated, and should be grounds for elimination.
