reserve and line, and these again are in a twofold 

 manner divided into efficient and inefficient men. 



10. It is either trained or not trained, formed or not formed 



into corps, provided or providing itself with arms, 

 provided or providing itself with vehicles. 



11. An allied army is useful when kindly treated, one's own 



is maintained by pay ; the reserve is of many years' 

 standing, the line differs in this respect. 



12. The efficient is eager for a good fight, the inefficient is the 



reverse ; the trained is clever in tactics, the untrained 

 is the reverse. 



13. The army formed in corps has a commander, that which 



is its own master is not well arranged in corps ; the one 

 has received arms from the king, the other which carries 

 its own arms differs in this respect. 



14. The forester corps, i.e., the Kiratas and similar tribes, which 



is subdued by the power of the king, is formed into 

 corps or has formed itself into corps, after having been 

 supplied with vehicles. 



15. The army of the enemy which was given up by the foe, 



or which having entered his service is won over by 

 dissension, is still regarded as hostile ; both are 

 regarded as weak, and especially as not trustworthy.
