I read last year something of interest, and would like to share it. It (the answer) offers an opportunity for great insights. I posted this elsewhere before, and I think it's suitable to this blog as well.
The question is:
What is the most reliable method of rallying the scattered and fleeing troops (all ranks) of a broken infantry division ?
Answer :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| You set up a line of field kitchens in the path of the fleeing troops. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(It's in background colour; think first,
then select with mouse to uncover.)

Nice one.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia: 'The term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek "λόγος" ("logos"—"ratio, word, calculation, reason, speech, oration").'
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteThat is actually brilliant. The old reptile brain will compel a person to stop to find comfort in food and safe water. Once they've stopped the field kitchens become a rallying point as they will want to protect this place of relative comfort. Then start digging in to protect the kitchens and you start to have something that resembles a line of defense.
