Notes that "Certain observations in the Aurora...seem to disapprove of the system...of combining field fortifications with the maneuvers of troops for the defence of Philadelphia" during the War of 1812. Those who disprove recommend replacing retrenchments with a system of platoons. Provides several objections to the platoon plan and explains those objections in terms of military science and the current conflict. GLC02978.16 is a contemporary English version of this document.
