This second, the second of these methods has, that's decentralized communication. | <0>1471<0>4<0>645<0>2084<0>3002<0>3535<0>1564<0>3479<0>3875<0>3710<0>4095<0>465<0>3762<0>1108<0>707<0>3235<0>3002<0>1564<0>2936<0>1049<0>782<0>2032<0>3457<0>317<0>3990<0>2999<0>307<0>782<0>1655<0>3433<0>2037<0>2679<0>1190<0>2958<0>2787<0>1217<0>3729<0>2735<0>2509<0>785<0>3457<0>3002<0>3324<0>407<0>2864<0>3592<0>421<0>1... |
The second of these methods has, by and large, proved more successful than the first. And, the ongoing revolution in the technology of command notwithstanding, this is likely to remain so in the future, and indeed, so long as war itself exists. | <0>1277<0>3556<0>369<0>2167<0>2030<0>3002<0>2598<0>967<0>2424<0>696<0>3929<0>2020<0>1738<0>3328<0>2506<0>317<0>148<0>691<0>2015<0>3697<0>2966<0>370<0>3748<0>691<0>2282<0>648<0>2471<0>1569<0>35<0>776<0>3918<0>678<0>43<0>3246<0>539<0>716<0>1697<0>3592<0>2342<0>3168<0>2187<0>587<0>1387<0>2860<0>1152<0>1707<0>3002<0>2441<0... |
Very obvious stuff. And again, you know, in our book, uh, Extreme Ownership, that's one of the principles of combat. Decentralized command. And this is what it is. If you don't have decentralized command, that, uh, | <0>3328<0>379<0>1564<0>173<0>553<0>1569<0>3107<0>631<0>2710<0>144<0>3246<0>2096<0>1335<0>2437<0>2462<0>75<0>2914<0>2244<0>1377<0>1449<0>714<0>701<0>1852<0>1649<0>1852<0>539<0>698<0>1491<0>3057<0>1335<0>1989<0>3762<0>3003<0>3762<0>3466<0>1748<0>3434<0>1945<0>2119<0>644<0>691<0>652<0>1675<0>1542<0>3275<0>1455<0>3973<0>16... |
By the time it gets to you, it's already changed.

The reconnaissance poll tactics of the German Blitzkrieg were inherently disorderly. Now this is something that's very contrary to what people think of the German military and even the German culture. | <0>1532<0>2733<0>1323<0>1509<0>1365<0>1804<0>311<0>628<0>3551<0>3002<0>3899<0>509<0>9<0>3668<0>1518<0>866<0>3435<0>3222<0>1335<0>3762<0>1335<0>1989<0>3762<0>2116<0>3480<0>2119<0>811<0>307<0>1959<0>1517<0>180<0>1442<0>3592<0>1993<0>2451<0>2860<0>300<0>1822<0>2705<0>2034<0>2705<0>1719<0>1737<0>3839<0>227<0>3837<0>2051<0>... |
German culture is very orderly, and here we say that the blitzkrieg was inherently disorderly. | <0>3526<0>2205<0>4066<0>3907<0>2999<0>2922<0>4029<0>411<0>55<0>55<0>331<0>1715<0>3378<0>252<0>1111<0>975<0>3097<0>1108<0>1253<0>3348<0>1675<0>43<0>1639<0>2187<0>2010<0>1335<0>3856<0>919<0>148<0>2471<0>690<0>3457<0>1517<0>949<0>636<0>523<0>3199<0>899<0>4048<0>3762<0>3762<0>648<0>2060<0>760<0>365<0>2087<0>122<0>426<0>111... |
Back to the book, higher headquarters could neither direct nor predict the exact path of the advance. But the multitude of German reconnaissance thrusts generated massive confusion among the French in 1940. Each was reported as a new attack. | <0>441<0>2936<0>313<0>1442<0>2336<0>1019<0>988<0>3166<0>3166<0>1213<0>3892<0>782<0>809<0>1190<0>3445<0>1759<0>1659<0>974<0>235<0>1719<0>838<0>2366<0>2155<0>2588<0>2894<0>234<0>1432<0>492<0>1500<0>3349<0>943<0>2433<0>3950<0>1819<0>2096<0>2348<0>3307<0>1719<0>1410<0>765<0>3158<0>2029<0>785<0>3530<0>2715<0>1423<0>2096<0>1... |
The Germans seem to be everywhere. And the French, whose system demanded certainty before making any decisions, were paralyzed. | <0>1517<0>1993<0>3062<0>2832<0>1945<0>1494<0>2030<0>3457<0>3950<0>3861<0>2155<0>3781<0>3568<0>355<0>779<0>386<0>1238<0>2054<0>2221<0>1331<0>3762<0>4095<0>2281<0>2525<0>1941<0>3557<0>3927<0>1099<0>3082<0>2889<0>716<0>3257<0>118<0>1925<0>1016<0>1319<0>3155<0>3002<0>4050<0>2705<0>1822<0>2538<0>3592<0>1822<0>776<0>3376<0>1... |
It's, it's very interesting to think about that idea of | <0>2812<0>3750<0>3002<0>2437<0>79<0>1072<0>2287<0>1209<0>3457<0>3378<0>2627<0>1175<0>1850<0>2245<0>2961<0>1885<0>3486<0>2715<0>1517<0>2378<0>3134<0>3984<0>2055<0>2830<0>294<0>1675<0>2034<0>2136<0>510<0>227<0>3693<0>3176<0>1377<0>805<0>3344<0>3762<0>2592<0>3117<0>234<0>3609<0>3132<0>885<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>206... |
We all wanna have certainty in what's gonna happen and how in, in battle and in life, if you wait until you're 100% certain, you're probably gonna be too late. | <0>1108<0>3598<0>73<0>78<0>1084<0>1484<0>3150<0>1396<0>1488<0>840<0>850<0>526<0>3404<0>770<0>3850<0>3002<0>2826<0>1618<0>290<0>2566<0>1517<0>1377<0>2366<0>81<0>1277<0>3898<0>144<0>2705<0>1941<0>252<0>2332<0>1675<0>653<0>556<0>645<0>1944<0>2332<0>1518<0>1639<0>955<0>3681<0>698<0>1491<0>365<0>3003<0>2657<0>1209<0>1377<0>... |
Speaking of certainty, three, all patterns, recipes, and formulas are to be avoided. | <0>3637<0>2710<0>1719<0>3158<0>2136<0>3561<0>3386<0>3637<0>3155<0>1618<0>234<0>2566<0>155<0>224<0>1209<0>465<0>1285<0>975<0>1273<0>2181<0>782<0>3158<0>3781<0>1062<0>1335<0>1950<0>2474<0>2094<0>3826<0>2037<0>593<0>644<0>1190<0>2999<0>2034<0>172<0>2826<0>227<0>948<0>1769<0>512<0>370<0>3850<0>1715<0>3984<0>3457<0>975<0>34... |
The enemy must not be able to predict your actions. If your tactics follow predictable patterns, the enemy can easily cut inside your OODA loop. | <0>3199<0>1782<0>2844<0>1166<0>3002<0>1112<0>1992<0>3457<0>1822<0>1331<0>3750<0>2769<0>2832<0>1569<0>1649<0>2462<0>2309<0>2339<0>1935<0>2705<0>426<0>234<0>3002<0>2010<0>240<0>3541<0>3272<0>3822<0>620<0>716<0>3693<0>648<0>509<0>2136<0>1900<0>118<0>1133<0>2438<0>213<0>3556<0>3557<0>3861<0>1031<0>2282<0>471<0>471<0>738<0>... |
If he can predict what you will do, he will be waiting for you. | <0>3762<0>209<0>2374<0>227<0>2594<0>1202<0>1432<0>1719<0>2935<0>3037<0>1819<0>3022<0>2506<0>2339<0>2178<0>648<0>3907<0>3062<0>2176<0>1620<0>3769<0>133<0>3860<0>1532<0>196<0>2339<0>648<0>684<0>196<0>3224<0>3176<0>2029<0>1377<0>3123<0>770<0>3888<0>2684<0>718<0>701<0>2815<0>2924<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0... |
You can talk about how to think and about some useful techniques, but you can't give new formulas to replace the ones currently taught. | <0>2462<0>2144<0>1449<0>2475<0>2374<0>3650<0>1084<0>2348<0>1265<0>2787<0>2716<0>2748<0>366<0>1111<0>1384<0>1137<0>3374<0>3875<0>2582<0>2889<0>2205<0>1335<0>1335<0>1108<0>2563<0>2158<0>2471<0>2619<0>3002<0>3447<0>1782<0>3457<0>1400<0>327<0>1467<0>1865<0>2831<0>3522<0>2011<0>376<0>3002<0>216<0>3590<0>653<0>1265<0>1993<0>... |
They must be able to create multiple threats and keep the enemy uncertain as to which one is real. | <0>4066<0>2410<0>2332<0>3045<0>3732<0>4026<0>1085<0>321<0>2062<0>3002<0>2236<0>2191<0>259<0>2485<0>3376<0>178<0>613<0>1214<0>3435<0>2062<0>866<0>2030<0>1675<0>2062<0>1296<0>3557<0>2826<0>3768<0>2488<0>2474<0>2030<0>2826<0>3749<0>1737<0>2037<0>1655<0>2485<0>1517<0>1568<0>2116<0>3046<0>1564<0>3710<0>3875<0>1566<0>1569<0>... |
They must be able to see their options in the situation before them. | <0>3639<0>613<0>644<0>2015<0>3907<0>1190<0>484<0>54<0>3002<0>3535<0>3457<0>1532<0>3556<0>1569<0>2740<0>1729<0>1729<0>3791<0>3433<0>4083<0>2032<0>593<0>2804<0>2710<0>1715<0>716<0>492<0>2956<0>2734<0>1139<0>969<0>1382<0>572<0>853<0>1062<0>1384<0>1730<0>1830<0>2550<0>1780<0>2619<0>235<0>2806<0>1320<0>290<0>2866<0>3981<0>3... |
Constantly create new options and shift rapidly among options as the situation develops. | <0>199<0>1569<0>54<0>2087<0>2522<0>2531<0>3837<0>1618<0>2299<0>396<0>1445<0>3781<0>1901<0>3677<0>2648<0>2488<0>1273<0>512<0>3850<0>2424<0>3787<0>2759<0>967<0>2588<0>3374<0>3875<0>3480<0>3665<0>2339<0>2181<0>370<0>2787<0>1737<0>782<0>507<0>3374<0>3875<0>2347<0>1805<0>1649<0>2001<0>3079<0>898<0>1878<0>3733<0>1213<0>1569<... |
On the contrary, you must proceed as dictated by the personalities involved and the particulars of the situation. | <0>1649<0>3246<0>3107<0>2258<0>1737<0>366<0>1111<0>3641<0>576<0>154<0>1328<0>1209<0>3526<0>2202<0>3308<0>2467<0>2802<0>2029<0>1519<0>1734<0>3791<0>751<0>2705<0>1569<0>3637<0>3637<0>3457<0>1209<0>1209<0>1532<0>2328<0>2266<0>280<0>317<0>648<0>1782<0>3861<0>4066<0>1517<0>372<0>664<0>664<0>543<0>3877<0>3239<0>2231<0>2612<0... |
So he got a German, successful German general, and he's actually saying you react based on | <0>3762<0>1517<0>3096<0>2309<0>1173<0>1694<0>1090<0>2746<0>3060<0>493<0>1993<0>1273<0>596<0>2348<0>3710<0>2894<0>1993<0>3466<0>648<0>2589<0>3973<0>365<0>785<0>3002<0>3155<0>3002<0>3002<0>2652<0>770<0>1384<0>3898<0>3606<0>785<0>379<0>1569<0>1945<0>3574<0>1688<0>1993<0>3641<0>379<0>3612<0>1738<0>3122<0>457<0>1127<0>1789<... |
Therefore, one of the first principles has to be there can be no fixed schemes. Every scheme, every pattern is wrong. No two situations are identical. That is why the study of military history can be extremely dangerous. | <0>3378<0>3530<0>2470<0>1977<0>1449<0>1708<0>2074<0>2302<0>3344<0>3762<0>3762<0>2092<0>1769<0>895<0>3031<0>3582<0>2034<0>3328<0>148<0>3155<0>491<0>2001<0>1977<0>1133<0>3147<0>374<0>30<0>2710<0>751<0>1241<0>3382<0>809<0>2119<0>433<0>2030<0>770<0>1038<0>2475<0>2475<0>1894<0>648<0>3447<0>147<0>3530<0>2497<0>648<0>1730<0>3... |
No one thinks of becoming a great painter simply by imitating Michelangelo. Similarly, you can't become a great military leader just by imitating someone.

In the last analysis, military command is an art. | <0>75<0>1782<0>2258<0>2092<0>2332<0>1729<0>1517<0>1517<0>613<0>1334<0>1569<0>1500<0>1517<0>3593<0>2030<0>770<0>948<0>1145<0>324<0>1842<0>805<0>46<0>3002<0>2935<0>289<0>1737<0>1992<0>1804<0>3376<0>355<0>3057<0>2136<0>3674<0>768<0>2961<0>3457<0>2826<0>2729<0>2700<0>3384<0>1116<0>1649<0>2435<0>1710<0>2205<0>602<0>3981<0>3... |
One man can do it, and most will never learn. | <0>1688<0>3184<0>1618<0>1366<0>526<0>794<0>2498<0>2136<0>1491<0>1539<0>122<0>1455<0>1108<0>3762<0>1335<0>3003<0>3003<0>3466<0>3003<0>1428<0>1706<0>1377<0>1502<0>2034<0>2176<0>312<0>2705<0>207<0>2020<0>1667<0>299<0>348<0>1973<0>1620<0>2511<0>2648<0>3239<0>3132<0>602<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>206... |
And, so, so, at the, the way the book is broken up, this book is called Maneuver War for Handbook, it's, it goes into, uh, it breaks into another section, which we're gonna get to in a minute. | <0>3046<0>1171<0>3280<0>1532<0>1255<0>2465<0>3694<0>2162<0>2162<0>2870<0>2010<0>114<0>3762<0>1989<0>3762<0>2957<0>3762<0>3466<0>390<0>2700<0>1715<0>1715<0>644<0>690<0>113<0>3002<0>1773<0>43<0>512<0>2054<0>1172<0>948<0>1190<0>1642<0>3457<0>3556<0>3096<0>3556<0>2333<0>9<0>2589<0>1713<0>3478<0>3417<0>1713<0>2167<0>3849<0>... |
He kinda goes into a little bit, Lind now goes into a little bit talking about education and training. | <0>2657<0>3457<0>919<0>224<0>3612<0>3505<0>3880<0>2837<0>1715<0>1273<0>1719<0>2799<0>934<0>4000<0>1569<0>2395<0>277<0>495<0>190<0>1822<0>538<0>3675<0>2959<0>3899<0>43<0>3404<0>154<0>2030<0>3530<0>1377<0>1152<0>950<0>735<0>1973<0>2511<0>3003<0>3762<0>3762<0>390<0>2338<0>2700<0>1370<0>2020<0>3449<0>492<0>1890<0>2030<0>15... |
I do not want such a person to be hammered down by narrowness and dogmas. | <0>3443<0>3556<0>3839<0>510<0>2832<0>3244<0>3243<0>4064<0>2619<0>54<0>2030<0>3235<0>805<0>1719<0>1038<0>2298<0>2001<0>1719<0>3873<0>1339<0>1532<0>3158<0>1730<0>1730<0>1730<0>3530<0>3082<0>4067<0>2081<0>3798<0>1502<0>155<0>379<0>2832<0>321<0>2027<0>1277<0>413<0>3556<0>1822<0>3556<0>967<0>1902<0>1569<0>2544<0>3462<0>22<0... |
To have his mind cramped by compulsory details. It is my constant ambition to see the Marine officers filled with ambition, initiative, and originality. | <0>3860<0>3437<0>2323<0>2144<0>2119<0>3899<0>3530<0>3850<0>649<0>3348<0>2860<0>35<0>3848<0>1208<0>3534<0>1658<0>1084<0>1049<0>35<0>3307<0>2406<0>838<0>2051<0>3762<0>3466<0>2205<0>2999<0>1042<0>1569<0>1862<0>2378<0>2707<0>3535<0>1273<0>235<0>2187<0>648<0>3457<0>1424<0>1517<0>3823<0>2014<0>2697<0>1517<0>3891<0>3332<0>376... |
And they can get these attributes only by libera-li-liberality of thought. Broad thought. | <0>3891<0>1835<0>1076<0>3096<0>3176<0>1491<0>3713<0>1171<0>3573<0>3158<0>3875<0>2966<0>967<0>2787<0>1998<0>3508<0>1277<0>3460<0>3574<0>1715<0>3132<0>327<0>3598<0>1822<0>78<0>1277<0>1569<0>3668<0>102<0>3873<0>3849<0>679<0>1973<0>2332<0>89<0>30<0>2239<0>3003<0>1671<0>593<0>1022<0>1977<0>691<0>2860<0>3828<0>1517<0>3457<0>... |
That differs, thought that differs from precedent and the compulsory imprint of others. And that is a long paragraph that says, free your mind. | <0>2352<0>3530<0>3606<0>2710<0>967<0>1842<0>3943<0>3348<0>3155<0>3637<0>3332<0>2182<0>3762<0>3762<0>3762<0>224<0>2510<0>2510<0>2666<0>1719<0>1688<0>3530<0>1449<0>313<0>2588<0>770<0>2054<0>770<0>3505<0>3235<0>1517<0>2659<0>2894<0>3114<0>4095<0>465<0>3003<0>133<0>1761<0>3372<0>364<0>744<0>1123<0>776<0>776<0>3460<0>142<0>... |
Don't obey what other people said. He wants them filled with ambition, that's pretty normal. But initiative and originality. He's telling in order to be a good leader, you gotta free your mind. | <0>648<0>313<0>1987<0>4048<0>2092<0>3598<0>3598<0>2129<0>3096<0>2060<0>3898<0>2544<0>2544<0>969<0>3984<0>979<0>144<0>1118<0>1517<0>3823<0>3668<0>3204<0>3172<0>832<0>1672<0>3454<0>1782<0>506<0>3768<0>3535<0>1526<0>1842<0>1118<0>235<0>3082<0>3299<0>776<0>1719<0>596<0>2860<0>1182<0>3603<0>573<0>559<0>2833<0>2989<0>1769<0>... |
Now like I said, the book makes a transition from being the, the, uh, | <0>3290<0>1112<0>300<0>2804<0>484<0>3349<0>1190<0>2525<0>3002<0>3899<0>2799<0>1277<0>313<0>1777<0>1804<0>2970<0>3037<0>3002<0>3059<0>1400<0>3869<0>1500<0>317<0>3457<0>3530<0>1273<0>1730<0>3114<0>2984<0>948<0>1612<0>1059<0>510<0>1730<0>838<0>3899<0>1910<0>3107<0>1277<0>1967<0>3585<0>3096<0>1992<0>1790<0>1377<0>3457<0>34... |
From being the introduction by, by William Lind about maneuver warfare and then it slides into another section. | <0>4009<0>374<0>3374<0>3768<0>3376<0>2791<0>2333<0>3713<0>596<0>2348<0>4080<0>652<0>716<0>3374<0>1992<0>290<0>2051<0>4066<0>3762<0>3762<0>3762<0>1989<0>1108<0>3598<0>3349<0>1362<0>1334<0>2966<0>1694<0>3917<0>2363<0>1185<0>2053<0>413<0>1772<0>2035<0>4055<0>1238<0>2934<0>3907<0>3987<0>2408<0>2813<0>3995<0>1822<0>1198<0>1... |
Which is just about as big. And this, this part is called Fundamentals of Tactics. And this section is written by Colonel Michael D. Wiley, United States Marine Corps. | <0>2991<0>3641<0>1719<0>495<0>3378<0>1145<0>1071<0>1112<0>1715<0>1517<0>1734<0>559<0>3592<0>1919<0>3880<0>3374<0>3126<0>2646<0>2677<0>3889<0>1419<0>1198<0>1667<0>1715<0>2105<0>1041<0>2619<0>2034<0>1031<0>3018<0>3762<0>1428<0>1655<0>1967<0>385<0>3782<0>618<0>1765<0>866<0>3507<0>491<0>1444<0>173<0>1465<0>2034<0>270<0>149... |
Went to the, he was an enlisted Marine, then he went to the Naval Academy, and he was Jim Webbs. | <0>3980<0>1400<0>1642<0>824<0>3385<0>1771<0>151<0>1715<0>613<0>628<0>3002<0>2030<0>2034<0>54<0>593<0>3433<0>698<0>3057<0>2555<0>2127<0>386<0>1804<0>1517<0>599<0>2155<0>3376<0>321<0>1902<0>216<0>3437<0>2488<0>275<0>2289<0>2462<0>823<0>3257<0>118<0>3534<0>1697<0>347<0>114<0>2657<0>553<0>967<0>824<0>3460<0>2328<0>1335<0>2... |
He wrote a book called Fields of Fire, and then there's another great book called The Nightingale Song, which is, it follows a couple, five | <0>2309<0>3556<0>3031<0>3899<0>1738<0>426<0>2750<0>1649<0>898<0>2970<0>2750<0>723<0>1780<0>234<0>2314<0>1783<0>3237<0>3003<0>3762<0>3762<0>1989<0>1989<0>465<0>2087<0>3155<0>975<0>3457<0>3457<0>3079<0>2339<0>2030<0>1804<0>3557<0>1427<0>3782<0>1569<0>1944<0>2142<0>2001<0>1145<0>1145<0>3762<0>1761<0>1801<0>233<0>3281<0>84... |
So, yeaah, I think it's, it's, uh, Webb, McCain, Oliver North. | <0>1769<0>348<0>1719<0>3551<0>2748<0>3404<0>3898<0>2092<0>1748<0>3803<0>2855<0>3480<0>2826<0>2563<0>3433<0>3480<0>1785<0>1715<0>599<0>3541<0>207<0>2672<0>1019<0>2354<0>2183<0>1335<0>1108<0>1329<0>512<0>776<0>3484<0>122<0>1480<0>1335<0>1502<0>2332<0>307<0>3530<0>1166<0>3376<0>368<0>1601<0>648<0>1145<0>2612<0>1335<0>2612... |
Uh, McFarlane, I think, and uh, and John Poindexter anyways, very prominent. | <0>2298<0>374<0>1842<0>348<0>1804<0>1582<0>1449<0>3489<0>2970<0>1910<0>3045<0>2119<0>3899<0>3530<0>3530<0>1273<0>1941<0>1813<0>1449<0>1771<0>1449<0>1449<0>1852<0>3880<0>916<0>1449<0>668<0>3755<0>2748<0>1902<0>3113<0>374<0>2771<0>2375<0>1400<0>1399<0>850<0>2748<0>1719<0>1145<0>234<0>2144<0>2860<0>1323<0>104<0>1587<0>599... |
Kinda, it's a small world and things tie together. So now we get into these lectures that he wrote. And I don't mean to lecture anybody, but... | <0>3534<0>3621<0>1732<0>3097<0>1428<0>1108<0>3762<0>3762<0>1108<0>3762<0>1071<0>401<0>1378<0>3850<0>212<0>3762<0>3762<0>9<0>3762<0>3003<0>2509<0>770<0>1519<0>1484<0>1488<0>1488<0>321<0>2181<0>2062<0>1710<0>963<0>963<0>3478<0>785<0>2826<0>2506<0>397<0>1517<0>2648<0>1730<0>224<0>3937<0>2864<0>611<0>963<0>1145<0>1335<0>30... |
They're called lectures in this book, I would just call them free-for-all information that we're gonna learn from. And the first, the first section is called surfaces and gaps. | <0>3281<0>3585<0>2729<0>3526<0>1059<0>1031<0>1777<0>974<0>2989<0>2020<0>3899<0>1669<0>2773<0>78<0>2030<0>3134<0>1118<0>2096<0>2034<0>1738<0>2972<0>1882<0>1214<0>2099<0>3907<0>1715<0>1603<0>1819<0>614<0>2511<0>1502<0>290<0>1335<0>465<0>1155<0>593<0>2323<0>1377<0>3478<0>2804<0>1738<0>3898<0>289<0>1667<0>374<0>3882<0>2161... |
That is what it is all about. Strength against weakness. Call it what you will. The term surfaces and gaps is derived from a German term. Flaken und lukentakt. | <0>2525<0>1190<0>3349<0>1872<0>3755<0>544<0>866<0>1518<0>2119<0>3374<0>3551<0>3782<0>259<0>1990<0>1575<0>599<0>2648<0>4011<0>963<0>3457<0>716<0>2530<0>599<0>553<0>2799<0>2374<0>948<0>2799<0>1277<0>1175<0>855<0>1517<0>1022<0>3693<0>324<0>3002<0>2710<0>1517<0>948<0>3053<0>3782<0>1819<0>1111<0>3898<0>1384<0>1445<0>243<0>3... |
Called it the expanding torrent system tactic. He drew an analogy between attacking, an attacking army and a torrent of water. | <0>1260<0>3061<0>3489<0>1014<0>426<0>3374<0>3374<0>1676<0>1108<0>3762<0>1071<0>1108<0>3762<0>3762<0>1172<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>2959<0>3096<0>1707<0>3850<0>3850<0>3155<0>1198<0>967<0>1967<0>3462<0>2751<0>1568<0>1601<0>855<0>3248<0>411<0>1569<0>3082<0>3147<0>3002<0>3535<0>1097<0>3002<0>1517<0>3705<0>556<0>... |
Simultaneously the water behind pours straight through that breach between this, the side eddies which are wearing away the flanks. Directly it is passed through, it expands to widen once more the on-reach of the turret, of the torrent. | <0>3535<0>3899<0>2958<0>2001<0>2592<0>3002<0>716<0>1175<0>1517<0>1273<0>3304<0>2989<0>1354<0>1014<0>3031<0>2001<0>779<0>3480<0>54<0>3349<0>3144<0>1517<0>866<0>2181<0>3374<0>1139<0>2773<0>4009<0>1725<0>3390<0>1112<0>3348<0>696<0>2970<0>1575<0>1442<0>65<0>3158<0>1719<0>3378<0>3891<0>3791<0>1945<0>2841<0>3535<0>751<0>4095... |
Thus, as the water pours through it in an ever-increasing volume, the onreach of the torrent swells to its original proportion, leaving in turn each crumbling obstacle behind it. | <0>1707<0>2548<0>3079<0>2750<0>1204<0>3002<0>3002<0>2261<0>1130<0>2775<0>1500<0>666<0>372<0>2174<0>2001<0>1331<0>866<0>2062<0>3963<0>3828<0>1273<0>1707<0>1309<0>492<0>65<0>2125<0>700<0>3457<0>2451<0>1987<0>3019<0>1914<0>2494<0>305<0>776<0>348<0>2348<0>2034<0>1361<0>1202<0>386<0>1719<0>3376<0>2054<0>2054<0>2619<0>259<0>... |
But that's how water gets through things. Finds the weak point and piles on. | <0>1031<0>2008<0>2082<0>3535<0>2787<0>527<0>231<0>940<0>2787<0>1111<0>369<0>91<0>2889<0>173<0>3997<0>3059<0>2104<0>885<0>216<0>213<0>1145<0>3762<0>1335<0>3762<0>1989<0>648<0>144<0>43<0>2045<0>3637<0>3943<0>492<0>2657<0>1071<0>367<0>2341<0>779<0>3657<0>3762<0>1989<0>3762<0>1989<0>2004<0>1277<0>1198<0>691<0>1902<0>1582<0... |
The idea of putting surfaces and gaps tactics into practice was first implemented by the German army in World War I. | <0>3457<0>776<0>1139<0>3875<0>3079<0>3750<0>2539<0>3556<0>3002<0>3834<0>3834<0>3002<0>73<0>3551<0>967<0>2485<0>1965<0>3437<0>2787<0>2015<0>2030<0>1842<0>2119<0>693<0>1598<0>2030<0>951<0>2381<0>1618<0>2860<0>1630<0>2922<0>1341<0>666<0>3850<0>2374<0>770<0>562<0>3318<0>2773<0>1341<0>1967<0>1320<0>144<0>1099<0>1642<0>855<0... |
This is stuff that everybody should know, especially military people. In 1918, as they prepared for Ludendorff's Spring Offensive, the German army changed its offensive tactics. | <0>2826<0>3850<0>1715<0>2008<0>1480<0>1618<0>2082<0>1117<0>3894<0>543<0>1108<0>2494<0>3445<0>1320<0>2187<0>3705<0>369<0>369<0>716<0>716<0>1208<0>2729<0>1118<0>3132<0>327<0>3524<0>3036<0>2030<0>3413<0>3002<0>3637<0>324<0>1277<0>2176<0>2176<0>770<0>3082<0>1145<0>684<0>3180<0>327<0>152<0>1445<0>1169<0>3556<0>3641<0>379<0>... |
Because they did not have the option of matching the allies' strength and material, the Germans decided that they would have to outthink them. | <0>2555<0>2432<0>3155<0>1842<0>73<0>2773<0>3457<0>1491<0>2832<0>1729<0>906<0>1190<0>1569<0>1442<0>78<0>148<0>2599<0>1729<0>3443<0>2374<0>3002<0>2582<0>3984<0>3154<0>207<0>327<0>649<0>714<0>4043<0>1190<0>216<0>3875<0>1320<0>369<0>414<0>1213<0>2787<0>1738<0>691<0>1801<0>3002<0>1719<0>1729<0>850<0>3257<0>1804<0>3359<0>312... |
That is, they would have to have better tactics. | <0>648<0>1944<0>3437<0>1719<0>1273<0>102<0>1217<0>307<0>529<0>3059<0>2205<0>492<0>243<0>1944<0>2332<0>1842<0>1517<0>3530<0>691<0>492<0>648<0>3248<0>2230<0>3541<0>3984<0>1944<0>2119<0>382<0>3860<0>2940<0>3534<0>3535<0>3535<0>855<0>948<0>602<1>3022<1>180<1>3612<1>3548<1>166<1>522<1>159<1>2864<1>2851<1>1631<1>3344<1>482<1... |
Yet, they made some tactical progress there at the last, at last in the spring of 1918. They inflicted terrible defeats on their enemies to the point that the allied armies were seriously considering the prospect of giving up. | <0>3637<0>776<0>2455<0>3351<0>3096<0>1641<0>3480<0>1655<0>3850<0>1500<0>2406<0>374<0>2119<0>3732<0>1198<0>1883<0>866<0>63<0>2210<0>2787<0>3399<0>15<0>3002<0>3850<0>2096<0>1702<0>3454<0>997<0>3441<0>1989<0>1748<0>135<0>3530<0>1473<0>3601<0>366<0>1649<0>3762<0>4074<0>2666<0>1500<0>3898<0>2787<0>3748<0>1190<0>3002<0>770<0... |
At the tactical level, the Germans put their strength against weakness. They sought the gaps. | <0>3402<0>3258<0>2008<0>1341<0>1334<0>644<0>2795<0>1693<0>321<0>1901<0>3899<0>1500<0>1518<0>1518<0>1421<0>363<0>2205<0>3626<0>1993<0>379<0>1308<0>3705<0>2769<0>2705<0>484<0>1467<0>173<0>698<0>2889<0>2832<0>1944<0>1834<0>3984<0>1198<0>1442<0>1339<0>553<0>2030<0>2705<0>3898<0>386<0>2840<0>3114<0>3535<0>1710<0>2978<0>1198... |
Small assault groups called Sturmgruppen sought gaps in the enemy lines and attacked through them, assaulting with light machine guns, rifles, grenades, and flamethrowers, while heavy machine guns, direct and indirect weapons, including trench mortars, were used to suppress enemy strong points. | <0>2030<0>2525<0>2619<0>259<0>259<0>3235<0>3850<0>259<0>411<0>3168<0>210<0>1309<0>2185<0>770<0>1777<0>479<0>2094<0>2511<0>3222<0>3413<0>1198<0>3850<0>3433<0>2348<0>2348<0>3445<0>1214<0>173<0>1526<0>3593<0>613<0>3693<0>3260<0>118<0>1109<0>1715<0>3235<0>3852<0>3797<0>1277<0>967<0>644<0>691<0>3850<0>3612<0>369<0>1149<0>19... |
So yeaah, the guys on the ground were attacking the weak points, but the strategic picture, they were still attacking a strong area. So you might have found a little weakness in a wall, a little weakness in the wire, a little weakness in the trench, but they were attacking a, let's say a 20 mile trench, that was overa... | <0>1715<0>779<0>3376<0>4080<0>691<0>2488<0>3437<0>2958<0>2609<0>3791<0>43<0>1476<0>262<0>2332<0>275<0>974<0>262<0>2666<0>1478<0>2172<0>1209<0>327<0>492<0>212<0>2096<0>275<0>262<0>2282<0>1517<0>915<0>3344<0>746<0>1719<0>1112<0>2005<0>3457<0>1782<0>155<0>967<0>1197<0>755<0>1145<0>3762<0>1108<0>1335<0>2037<0>3447<0>1133<0... |
Back to the book. The idea of putting strength against weakness was of course born way before 1918. | <0>3612<0>2958<0>3037<0>1118<0>234<0>1579<0>2001<0>1734<0>1127<0>2424<0>4022<0>2679<0>2433<0>1967<0>776<0>2475<0>3457<0>2462<0>1174<0>2339<0>2705<0>3348<0>1468<0>2155<0>3376<0>2773<0>3899<0>850<0>216<0>3280<0>2588<0>3535<0>1587<0>2485<0>2567<0>3092<0>3484<0>1719<0>895<0>3782<0>2008<0>3551<0>3235<0>296<0>3150<0>3923<0>2... |
Klauswitz writes about it in chapter 9 and 10 of book 7. In chapter 9, regarding defensive positions, he states, | <0>898<0>2787<0>2510<0>3002<0>2525<0>3448<0>1152<0>2550<0>2787<0>776<0>2657<0>3535<0>22<0>3084<0>1805<0>1675<0>1675<0>691<0>599<0>3475<0>1377<0>648<0>672<0>2715<0>1770<0>1665<0>3884<0>3486<0>348<0>2298<0>3821<0>3134<0>2328<0>4<0>3342<0>1730<0>1919<0>3535<0>526<0>2881<0>1316<0>2663<0>279<0>648<0>234<0>484<0>1152<0>3433<... |
The attack cannot prevail against them. It has no means at its disposal to counteract their advantage. | <0>1209<0>3096<0>1517<0>1977<0>735<0>1478<0>1287<0>1517<0>1782<0>3603<0>3899<0>1639<0>3132<0>1773<0>369<0>776<0>3900<0>144<0>144<0>2116<0>776<0>2030<0>2710<0>2897<0>1617<0>3973<0>1335<0>465<0>2555<0>2251<0>4066<0>3457<0>746<0>2715<0>3535<0>668<0>3899<0>3828<0>1049<0>3376<0>3280<0>510<0>3460<0>2192<0>3002<0>44<0>1944<0>... |
Same thing we heard from Sun Tzu. You don't attack the heavily defended positions. | <0>2617<0>3466<0>1428<0>672<0>3480<0>2155<0>1517<0>2641<0>611<0>374<0>181<0>1830<0>2187<0>3535<0>2332<0>2404<0>3002<0>2708<0>1649<0>2051<0>3762<0>3762<0>3762<0>3762<0>3003<0>2840<0>2187<0>648<0>1773<0>666<0>1885<0>465<0>1805<0>2705<0>3002<0>355<0>1365<0>1057<0>703<0>3132<0>290<0>593<0>3707<0>2799<0>2975<0>1701<0>3378<0... |
Attacking through gaps, avoiding surfaces gives us an advantage of economy of force. | <0>3794<0>1785<0>3002<0>2119<0>35<0>3038<0>1992<0>1719<0>2506<0>1442<0>1485<0>967<0>1213<0>43<0>1710<0>3850<0>3972<0>593<0>2550<0>512<0>1773<0>573<0>3997<0>3433<0>2860<0>1736<0>2525<0>3551<0>3577<0>2030<0>3378<0>2734<0>313<0>3551<0>2787<0>2030<0>270<0>3306<0>1485<0>793<0>1166<0>916<0>884<0>1719<0>216<0>2034<0>484<0>297... |
If we are pitted strength against strength, assaulting enemy strong points, we are consuming our manpower as well as ammunition and supplies as we go along. | <0>3561<0>1842<0>2485<0>3505<0>2381<0>2060<0>2470<0>1175<0>3378<0>3535<0>1152<0>2648<0>967<0>1109<0>2173<0>3875<0>110<0>2710<0>1719<0>1642<0>379<0>2345<0>3457<0>2745<0>2174<0>3002<0>3489<0>411<0>1517<0>328<0>906<0>694<0>3950<0>1445<0>3995<0>1820<0>1113<0>3033<0>1387<0>2332<0>2710<0>3002<0>518<0>3992<0>3524<0>243<0>433<... |
Now this is important. The concept of surfaces and gaps demands leadership from the front as opposed to leadership from the rear. | <0>3556<0>691<0>2303<0>3551<0>3551<0>3551<0>512<0>1517<0>411<0>1569<0>3307<0>290<0>2700<0>3750<0>1603<0>1842<0>2860<0>1736<0>2030<0>3535<0>2806<0>458<0>3841<0>2525<0>1719<0>2750<0>3448<0>3002<0>2525<0>3551<0>1914<0>3175<0>967<0>1334<0>2832<0>770<0>2284<0>115<0>4069<0>379<0>3927<0>2323<0>3280<0>3907<0>433<0>1445<0>967<0... |
In the World War, nothing was more dreadful to witness than a chain of men, starting with a battalion commander, and ending with an army commander, sitting in telephone boxes, improvised or actual, talking, talking, talking, in place of leading. | <0>3966<0>249<0>3809<0>3140<0>2865<0>3914<0>1708<0>426<0>666<0>479<0>1043<0>244<0>3132<0>648<0>1989<0>9<0>2492<0>1491<0>1112<0>3899<0>1152<0>573<0>3528<0>1118<0>1022<0>340<0>2133<0>1669<0>593<0>2833<0>3378<0>3235<0>2062<0>144<0>3898<0>1858<0>1852<0>556<0>2826<0>1517<0>2298<0>823<0>765<0>1139<0>3530<0>369<0>249<0>426<0>... |
The result was unresponsive leadership and slow reactions. | <0>3348<0>366<0>3551<0>3899<0>3782<0>545<0>132<0>1108<0>1769<0>492<0>1118<0>1331<0>1218<0>2999<0>4054<0>3348<0>1715<0>751<0>1819<0>54<0>3729<0>1773<0>2054<0>3873<0>369<0>3460<0>3214<0>716<0>3359<0>465<0>3180<0>2051<0>1989<0>1108<0>3681<0>1108<0>213<0>1491<0>3637<0>3002<0>2339<0>1675<0>3898<0>324<0>2029<0>1991<0>795<0>1... |
And he didn't know what was going on on the front, so he couldn't help. He couldn't make any decisions. If someone was gonna, if he needed to make a decision... | <0>1532<0>546<0>1491<0>75<0>765<0>2328<0>664<0>2801<0>618<0>2775<0>1777<0>3677<0>3317<0>235<0>307<0>1910<0>54<0>2903<0>2826<0>2506<0>3832<0>2158<0>3556<0>2860<0>3240<0>1488<0>3526<0>1209<0>1102<0>151<0>556<0>1688<0>1108<0>561<0>3457<0>3637<0>369<0>823<0>2966<0>2710<0>864<0>1339<0>3693<0>509<0>2116<0>2462<0>593<0>3328<0... |
And obviously, but you don't want to be the guy that's doing the shooting because then you've gone too far forward to actually be detached and make decisions. | <0>3762<0>3466<0>1186<0>776<0>1449<0>921<0>3762<0>948<0>948<0>1819<0>1569<0>1442<0>975<0>2710<0>684<0>1491<0>2492<0>122<0>1993<0>975<0>3972<0>3435<0>3359<0>1491<0>1491<0>1386<0>2715<0>2158<0>1517<0>3002<0>2116<0>493<0>1858<0>1022<0>3670<0>3457<0>1445<0>386<0>3922<0>2244<0>2889<0>2462<0>148<0>2191<0>1687<0>3359<0>1989<0... |
Certainly, combat is not going to be that simple. The gap then might be any undefended point or any weakly defended point. It may be any enemy vulnerability. It might be the enemy's flanks. | <0>3002<0>2860<0>2694<0>3374<0>3374<0>1782<0>1697<0>1062<0>120<0>3133<0>1362<0>628<0>2142<0>1977<0>1773<0>2993<0>2860<0>2460<0>342<0>2234<0>2475<0>3046<0>441<0>2030<0>3850<0>3347<0>2745<0>545<0>2051<0>3693<0>3693<0>3526<0>3059<0>329<0>3079<0>3008<0>3457<0>379<0>3899<0>988<0>3253<0>4050<0>4069<0>510<0>2497<0>898<0>776<0... |
The term flank itself needs some elaboration. Think of it as a relative thing. John Boyd defines a flank as that aspect, that aspect toward which a force is not devoting its primary attention. | <0>3474<0>2282<0>3484<0>2280<0>517<0>1449<0>1449<0>3634<0>1642<0>3376<0>3780<0>2588<0>770<0>3002<0>4050<0>932<0>1484<0>1842<0>1491<0>2462<0>1993<0>509<0>3535<0>1569<0>2894<0>2987<0>611<0>2054<0>3899<0>43<0>1675<0>1331<0>580<0>3637<0>1719<0>227<0>714<0>3281<0>3703<0>3754<0>2759<0>1382<0>864<0>3374<0>728<0>3348<0>231<0>1... |
In other words, in fluid warfare, what is one moment the enemy's flank, might the next moment be the enemy's front. It depends on how he is directing his attention. | <0>3854<0>3641<0>3987<0>173<0>130<0>2510<0>2860<0>1715<0>1944<0>491<0>3235<0>512<0>2341<0>3898<0>411<0>2750<0>770<0>2999<0>1116<0>207<0>2790<0>3308<0>732<0>2548<0>3526<0>2619<0>596<0>1715<0>512<0>447<0>2832<0>2974<0>479<0>3082<0>2770<0>3433<0>2734<0>3732<0>1941<0>3433<0>3155<0>3634<0>2860<0>776<0>885<0>1481<0>1145<0>9<... |
So, does that make sense to you? So if you've got a surface to air missile, | <0>2116<0>1773<0>3980<0>1575<0>1335<0>1989<0>9<0>3003<0>3003<0>3003<0>3762<0>869<0>1989<0>3003<0>1919<0>3003<0>9<0>3681<0>1655<0>4048<0>1967<0>2966<0>1564<0>2970<0>2563<0>3535<0>3768<0>2710<0>2710<0>3067<0>207<0>2676<0>102<0>1773<0>2323<0>785<0>2485<0>3612<0>2585<0>3418<0>3457<0>3405<0>3328<0>889<0>889<0>2883<0>1710<0>... |
So for them, it's a surface. It's a strong point. For an aircraft, it's a strong point. But for a ground troop... | <0>1198<0>3899<0>3404<0>2569<0>838<0>173<0>616<0>495<0>594<0>526<0>3235<0>3002<0>3235<0>898<0>1252<0>3038<0>1517<0>348<0>3927<0>716<0>2302<0>1910<0>1480<0>327<0>1567<0>1102<0>3899<0>1099<0>45<0>1977<0>2436<0>21<0>691<0>1331<0>2903<0>2055<0>397<0>616<0>2619<0>2989<0>3363<0>3107<0>3738<0>1078<0>3769<0>3308<0>564<0>1346<0... |
They don't put, you know, the highest level troops guarding these things cause they're in the rear a little bit. They put like kinda, you know, some, what'd they call them here, uh, | <0>3526<0>776<0>884<0>1101<0>3364<0>3373<0>65<0>2239<0>3179<0>3388<0>1376<0>369<0>668<0>2008<0>2034<0>366<0>2804<0>1729<0>776<0>2525<0>3002<0>2176<0>3791<0>3898<0>2474<0>3891<0>1400<0>107<0>3974<0>2096<0>3850<0>3850<0>2435<0>1989<0>3003<0>3762<0>1108<0>3447<0>15<0>2832<0>368<0>2341<0>3556<0>785<0>3433<0>3374<0>3374<0>2... |
They're manned by troops who are not combat oriented. So that means it's a softer target. | <0>149<0>3505<0>1059<0>580<0>967<0>776<0>2801<0>3593<0>2488<0>698<0>3530<0>3348<0>1830<0>1715<0>2619<0>1214<0>1491<0>3861<0>3443<0>1729<0>1418<0>1127<0>2298<0>1569<0>3798<0>441<0>2664<0>2805<0>974<0>613<0>2563<0>648<0>2902<0>921<0>75<0>2589<0>869<0>1506<0>1355<0>495<0>2999<0>1687<0>3990<0>317<0>3535<0>3850<0>1710<0>271... |
Back to the book, let us say we are unsuccessful in finding any gaps. | <0>1587<0>2715<0>2666<0>300<0>1442<0>1118<0>2860<0>877<0>3235<0>4050<0>824<0>3850<0>3535<0>3215<0>1780<0>2948<0>1099<0>1203<0>2339<0>270<0>2966<0>3002<0>838<0>3850<0>598<0>3002<0>2826<0>2619<0>2697<0>1950<0>3088<0>369<0>3873<0>751<0>1569<0>2144<0>3134<0>3158<0>3158<0>3176<0>3175<0>1485<0>553<0>644<0>1675<0>1517<0>3850<... |
We may have to create gaps and there are ways of doing this. So then they talk about the ways you can do it. You can do it through firepower by dropping bombs, by suppression, by assault, all those different ways to create gaps with, with, you know, using direct fire to soften up targets. | <0>1452<0>2155<0>3376<0>1801<0>795<0>144<0>1517<0>863<0>3748<0>2298<0>3177<0>2506<0>3457<0>2029<0>1108<0>963<0>1240<0>384<0>1120<0>3084<0>3821<0>728<0>885<0>3762<0>1989<0>515<0>744<0>3175<0>1377<0>559<0>2864<0>2092<0>1858<0>2161<0>3457<0>317<0>1324<0>648<0>3176<0>1442<0>979<0>290<0>1243<0>1996<0>3084<0>421<0>948<0>1989... |
And then I like these tactics a little bit better. Another way of creating gaps is through supporting attacks. By attacking one point along the line, we may divert the enemy from another point, and by drawing him off, create a gap. | <0>1166<0>190<0>2773<0>1399<0>3046<0>2881<0>2524<0>691<0>759<0>3637<0>78<0>369<0>3556<0>2978<0>3780<0>2282<0>3612<0>2119<0>1828<0>1261<0>1152<0>3962<0>2001<0>3598<0>3132<0>2663<0>694<0>3407<0>2648<0>908<0>2860<0>1099<0>506<0>3617<0>3754<0>3066<0>2332<0>1261<0>658<0>1491<0>1277<0>3707<0>1213<0>1815<0>770<0>2876<0>2055<0... |
Again, this is in linear terms for instructional purposes for simplicity, but do not get a linear mindset. | <0>1108<0>3180<0>1277<0>3176<0>3376<0>3530<0>3460<0>191<0>1753<0>1753<0>529<0>655<0>1925<0>81<0>9<0>2957<0>515<0>4066<0>3280<0>3002<0>2668<0>102<0>2897<0>2181<0>3079<0>2155<0>2161<0>83<0>3624<0>1400<0>3834<0>270<0>5<0>3433<0>1842<0>1099<0>2769<0>1719<0>2860<0>484<0>1445<0>1886<0>2286<0>2001<0>327<0>1710<0>2030<0>1715<0... |
And when you attack that point where he has weakened himself. | <0>1989<0>2004<0>3950<0>1320<0>2155<0>2269<0>3480<0>2119<0>795<0>1109<0>370<0>795<0>1989<0>983<0>1886<0>2152<0>75<0>1544<0>2025<0>2194<0>4068<0>3018<0>1108<0>1108<0>3898<0>3480<0>1116<0>506<0>1517<0>2462<0>148<0>148<0>1782<0>1145<0>9<0>3003<0>3003<0>87<0>2471<0>1517<0>1442<0>369<0>227<0>1688<0>648<0>2029<0>2710<0>3246<... |
But what do we do about surfaces? That is strong points. Sometimes they are best bypassed. | <0>1518<0>132<0>2181<0>2806<0>1108<0>4066<0>9<0>3681<0>312<0>2296<0>1491<0>386<0>1675<0>1738<0>43<0>3029<0>1710<0>368<0>2181<0>593<0>1517<0>2710<0>317<0>3378<0>2488<0>1865<0>3850<0>1273<0>2442<0>1820<0>1113<0>983<0>2946<0>1303<0>857<0>3850<0>3771<0>3209<0>1753<0>3891<0>1517<0>2787<0>649<0>1842<0>2557<0>2144<0>379<0>108... |
Once the enemy has been bypassed, his strong point may be cut off from its support. And in that way, his strong point eventually withers away and becomes a weak point which we can attack later. | <0>3524<0>189<0>1729<0>3002<0>1273<0>3395<0>776<0>596<0>2823<0>3376<0>73<0>369<0>3641<0>3299<0>644<0>15<0>3004<0>2488<0>691<0>3535<0>3535<0>3278<0>3600<0>2619<0>275<0>2989<0>3420<0>1569<0>2620<0>3089<0>1377<0>9<0>1365<0>275<0>275<0>3341<0>3782<0>2015<0>1113<0>1569<0>3780<0>2096<0>2705<0>3857<0>275<0>1423<0>794<0>1509<0... |
One is that the commander will not always know where all his people are. | <0>2004<0>3963<0>3852<0>4050<0>495<0>2666<0>2936<0>1842<0>3144<0>1042<0>1085<0>2041<0>3828<0>3898<0>484<0>2497<0>1945<0>3899<0>1910<0>2987<0>3972<0>3898<0>2339<0>3158<0>2506<0>1377<0>1118<0>327<0>1769<0>2092<0>262<0>1283<0>2989<0>618<0>3972<0>2826<0>2588<0>3771<0>2374<0>1568<0>3860<0>259<0>1990<0>2471<0>2697<0>2780<0>1... |
In the Marine Corps, we've become used to being accountable at all times for knowing exactly where every man is. | <0>2352<0>1076<0>83<0>484<0>3082<0>2155<0>1777<0>2707<0>34<0>2860<0>2447<0>409<0>118<0>3036<0>2485<0>1532<0>718<0>2374<0>3359<0>1209<0>148<0>3433<0>1517<0>3176<0>2462<0>2045<0>2096<0>2087<0>1111<0>2619<0>327<0>1765<0>974<0>2573<0>68<0>259<0>259<0>3860<0>1842<0>1362<0>644<0>2462<0>2008<0>1113<0>618<0>3592<0>718<0>2029<0... |
In this faster moving form of combat, to do so would be impossible. | <0>2435<0>1532<0>1419<0>3002<0>2705<0>2082<0>2119<0>1715<0>716<0>2001<0>64<0>1309<0>3079<0>1666<0>2762<0>259<0>2989<0>1886<0>2762<0>2813<0>2001<0>1111<0>1265<0>3621<0>3621<0>3656<0>3698<0>1382<0>2037<0>1719<0>963<0>975<0>3861<0>3433<0>1773<0>3348<0>2092<0>840<0>648<0>3457<0>2462<0>531<0>3882<0>2549<0>1370<0>1683<0>2826... |
Your subordinates are finding the gaps and exploiting them. So you've got, if you're a control freak, you're not going to be able to pull this off. | <0>1697<0>3079<0>3002<0>3850<0>866<0>411<0>1111<0>3397<0>296<0>3750<0>2015<0>3340<0>366<0>2284<0>1491<0>2710<0>3918<0>3305<0>1688<0>1655<0>1944<0>43<0>207<0>2030<0>3850<0>3771<0>1377<0>703<0>3309<0>3637<0>2096<0>3898<0>2799<0>2029<0>3670<0>1787<0>3949<0>465<0>2444<0>3978<0>1740<0>2562<0>3071<0>3780<0>3155<0>975<0>2155<... |
I'm saying, Echo, where are you? Echo, where are you? Echo, where are you? No, Echo's out there. He's working. He's finding some gaps to get through. Not know exactly where he is. | <0>2826<0>2748<0>3972<0>2958<0>1777<0>3067<0>580<0>2833<0>1276<0>225<0>2324<0>3722<0>1981<0>2989<0>559<0>599<0>2273<0>390<0>1637<0>3370<0>3067<0>512<0>2648<0>599<0>2273<0>1649<0>977<0>290<0>1277<0>3123<0>3153<0>3449<0>3898<0>207<0>1748<0>1899<0>1944<0>3344<0>4072<0>413<0>1569<0>805<0>3990<0>78<0>1769<0>2619<0>1119<0>18... |
Around the battlefield and you're not sure where everyone is and that makes it very difficult because you obviously don't want to drop bombs on your own people. | <0>869<0>3980<0>2510<0>3899<0>840<0>2804<0>3132<0>1190<0>2787<0>2865<0>2374<0>386<0>243<0>2158<0>1641<0>3359<0>2332<0>864<0>1445<0>2001<0>1484<0>275<0>1118<0>1580<0>1882<0>1049<0>746<0>2826<0>3861<0>691<0>2497<0>785<0>3002<0>3929<0>3378<0>2733<0>2894<0>658<0>1842<0>327<0>2092<0>397<0>369<0>366<0>1882<0>3433<0>3929<0>29... |
Another problem associated with the concept of surfaces and gaps is that as we penetrate deeply, often on narrow fronts, our flanks become exposed. | <0>3946<0>1362<0>3448<0>4009<0>715<0>3132<0>1028<0>2619<0>1320<0>3061<0>3002<0>1804<0>3880<0>1993<0>950<0>2856<0>3305<0>1517<0>2236<0>691<0>1569<0>1618<0>374<0>3132<0>561<0>3433<0>1977<0>3235<0>2525<0>73<0>2323<0>3708<0>3912<0>1334<0>293<0>770<0>2826<0>4022<0>409<0>2437<0>1967<0>2978<0>408<0>355<0>355<0>2846<0>1674<0>2... |
There are however compensating factors again related to speed. | <0>2129<0>3603<0>2107<0>3576<0>3505<0>342<0>275<0>1638<0>2001<0>3691<0>1127<0>2332<0>1675<0>2799<0>2030<0>3595<0>2155<0>3861<0>2609<0>2119<0>2012<0>779<0>1715<0>1491<0>1209<0>2734<0>3214<0>1320<0>3809<0>208<0>3713<0>2759<0>1782<0>4050<0>3637<0>1719<0>698<0>3781<0>2029<0>2427<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>... |
We are moving quickly. The enemy is always off balance. Remember the old adage, there is security in speed. | <0>1753<0>1753<0>168<0>744<0>2352<0>1989<0>1748<0>3894<0>3939<0>2641<0>954<0>1022<0>369<0>1883<0>83<0>3370<0>3543<0>684<0>75<0>1108<0>1748<0>9<0>4058<0>1076<0>3556<0>864<0>2497<0>698<0>3002<0>3272<0>2471<0>1575<0>1452<0>2525<0>1028<0>2826<0>1277<0>3437<0>3899<0>2471<0>1442<0>3850<0>2710<0>2270<0>2066<0>3454<0>3466<0>30... |
So in other words, as you penetrate into a, into a zone, you're going to be exposed a little bit, but if you're moving fast, you can deal with that exposure. | <0>1467<0>1773<0>922<0>327<0>1950<0>3762<0>2435<0>1771<0>3306<0>1099<0>2989<0>1214<0>855<0>1998<0>1993<0>648<0>809<0>1835<0>3280<0>1719<0>2703<0>3875<0>1175<0>3637<0>3155<0>2799<0>1265<0>1480<0>2624<0>3769<0>3657<0>3158<0>3637<0>1715<0>679<0>2030<0>1715<0>1500<0>3490<0>2155<0>3038<0>2497<0>493<0>2161<0>1719<0>2826<0>17... |
I'm gonna lose control of it.

This need not be so. If the concept of surfaces and gaps is employed properly, it will not be so. | <0>1967<0>2734<0>3002<0>102<0>3457<0>1730<0>2187<0>664<0>3899<0>1569<0>1016<0>698<0>975<0>3002<0>3002<0>2881<0>2836<0>1289<0>327<0>4066<0>4<0>1471<0>213<0>3320<0>1730<0>838<0>13<0>652<0>2648<0>2860<0>3002<0>932<0>3656<0>3079<0>770<0>2588<0>2750<0>1773<0>3002<0>3002<0>3551<0>3915<0>1377<0>3376<0>3612<0>1618<0>770<0>73<0... |
They should be kept to a minimum and must always be flexible. The tactics must never follow the control measures. On the contrary, the control measures must follow the tactics. And the tactics must always be based on the enemy. | <0>209<0>3457<0>1719<0>3939<0>2029<0>3176<0>3693<0>3457<0>3612<0>3507<0>3433<0>1198<0>948<0>4066<0>1719<0>1442<0>3359<0>1813<0>884<0>596<0>1835<0>2142<0>2027<0>780<0>1925<0>4<0>3281<0>2733<0>3057<0>1902<0>770<0>3434<0>1867<0>2094<0>484<0>2485<0>2588<0>1377<0>3457<0>1449<0>3791<0>652<0>1198<0>2826<0>866<0>2548<0>2352<0>... |

Gives us meaning, gives us means of keeping control over our troops and preventing a situation where they can be said to be moving willy nilly about the battlefield. | <0>3433<0>884<0>3849<0>2506<0>2525<0>2787<0>3235<0>3771<0>701<0>3096<0>3096<0>3280<0>369<0>2582<0>648<0>3003<0>9<0>1989<0>2029<0>379<0>3927<0>3002<0>2497<0>368<0>3158<0>317<0>3621<0>329<0>3457<0>148<0>3637<0>1491<0>2826<0>1993<0>2516<0>411<0>1819<0>1488<0>895<0>1797<0>259<0>3246<0>327<0>409<0>2217<0>3404<0>3780<0>698<0... |
So decentralized command, it, it is challenging.

So now we get into the next section. And it does say lecture again, but again, I'm not here to lecture anybody. I don't think I, I don't think I can pull that off. | <0>2710<0>83<0>1399<0>2619<0>368<0>3637<0>3376<0>1273<0>3433<0>368<0>3280<0>3214<0>1190<0>3002<0>3084<0>1202<0>2314<0>2030<0>3002<0>3535<0>967<0>716<0>1719<0>3405<0>2538<0>1324<0>1428<0>465<0>1989<0>2051<0>1057<0>3176<0>963<0>1841<0>1517<0>2710<0>1801<0>234<0>3041<0>1448<0>1993<0>4026<0>3541<0>648<0>227<0>2959<0>3328<0... |
The concept, this one, this section is called Mission Tactics. | <0>2004<0>83<0>1842<0>2648<0>2860<0>3002<0>522<0>1084<0>1467<0>1145<0>9<0>3681<0>3003<0>9<0>9<0>4066<0>3374<0>3002<0>1794<0>1940<0>3505<0>3850<0>495<0>3501<0>1139<0>855<0>678<0>974<0>2799<0>2398<0>921<0>1377<0>698<0>3376<0>3376<0>3457<0>1491<0>2433<0>543<0>2309<0>2715<0>3822<0>2037<0>2424<0>885<0>216<0>216<0>2914<0>361... |
The concept of mission tactics like surfaces and gaps must always be at work in battle. | <0>1463<0>2381<0>3899<0>1820<0>3016<0>3535<0>522<0>3066<0>2005<0>3809<0>1671<0>3267<0>3374<0>3376<0>1139<0>2408<0>2282<0>3612<0>3082<0>1255<0>3823<0>3037<0>2775<0>2787<0>1523<0>1719<0>3374<0>259<0>593<0>855<0>3551<0>317<0>1080<0>3376<0>599<0>3377<0>3002<0>2497<0>1569<0>2282<0>2745<0>3972<0>3923<0>484<0>2451<0>2192<0>33... |
The name is, the name is derived from the German | <0>2037<0>3457<0>1299<0>776<0>3457<0>368<0>190<0>1992<0>2490<0>1771<0>3374<0>1000<0>2437<0>305<0>2435<0>3466<0>3466<0>2060<0>3460<0>3002<0>1175<0>2060<0>1339<0>3828<0>2619<0>2787<0>1213<0>1480<0>1152<0>580<0>1773<0>648<0>1993<0>1967<0>2001<0>1835<0>1832<0>3176<0>1145<0>3981<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2068<0>2... |
Which means literally mission tactics. It is no accident that the name includes the word tactics. Assigning a mission and depending on subordinates to carry it out constitutes the tactic.
