This manual supersedes FM 28-5, 31 March 1941, including C1, 22 April 1942. CHAPTER 1 GENERAL Section I. MISSION AND ORGANIZATION 1. SCOPE. The procedures prescribed herein are designed for general use and may be adapted to any type of band. Some of the explanation is of a general nature which gives sufficient latitude for adaptation to specific units. Interpretation should be based on these general provisions and all should learn to use this manual as a guide to a common-sense solution of minor points which are not specifically covered in the text. Much discussion over trifles or failure to make appropriate adaptation indicates a failure to grasp the spirit of the regulations. Subordinates should be encouraged to make minor adjustments without calling on higher authority for interpretation. Necessary adaptation should be simple and. should not complicate the procedures. 2.
