I remember reading somewhere that in the beginning of WWI they were still using similar tactics.

As soon as I saw this posting, a memory of a movie I had seen many decades ago sprang to mind - The Command. An Army doctor with no combat experience in command of a cavalry troop read from a cavalry officer's manual so that he could "fake it". It seemed that the scriptwriter actually had gotten his hands on such a book and quoted it in the movie. Well, at least it seemed plausible...

Once the commanding officer of a cavalry patrol is killed, the ranking officer who must take command is an army doctor.
