Perhaps go back farther to du Piq and dispersion requires cohesion;

“Col Arnud du Piq;

"We are brought by dispersion to the need of a cohesion greater than ever before."

1870 FRANCE

Goal; Cohesion

So... how?

Constraints on cohesion:

Not everyone can train together for years except for a very short war.

Solution; Doctrine? As a common frame of thought, yes. That’s what Doctrine is supposed to do, and have rational underpinnings.

IRL 2023 so Dogmatic as to give Salafi Muslims pause...

So perhaps a new and updated Staff framework? If it saved time, and used our post Napoleonic technology more thoughtfully, this might improve matters.

In the present ; Fabian and Skirmishing tactics, initial offensives should be SOF, Recon, Raids, Infantry Skirmish, leading to Reconnaissance in Force Pull.

NO BIG ARROWS.

All of this is to prevent the Jena staring us in the face, from the vicinity of the Danube.

Jena was last year, only the unexpected Ukrainian hatred and endless money and the bulk of our arsenals have turned this into the Peninsular War, with the Ukrainians as Spanish.

For 🇺🇸

NO BIG ARROWS
