More terrain related videos would be fine. This one was too summary... For example, some of the key terrains the presenter indicated are too exposed, and it would be hard to supply/extract troops from there. Some other positions are not mutually supporting. One more important thing that must be considered is the use of hollows/ravines/backslopes in the defence. This must also be covered.
Gentlemen, I like the playbook simplicity of these videos and the clear presentation of this way of thinking, to fight outnumbered and win. I would, in this case, draw a straight line between moral(individual solider) and morale(the unit's confidence, preparation, and character). I think there is more here and wonder if you have any suggested reading to dive deeper into the link between moral and morale. The character explanation sparked this idea that resonates. Very Respectfully, CPT Cousins
@@YsbsksisoGzodjdbej Id be happy too. What military game theory are you thinking about? I will do a video on the siege of Malta, which is one of my all time favorite battles.
@@cascaderifles81 Thank you its very kind. if you may talk about game theory of defense strategies. siege of malta is one of malta is one of my best too but it would be fun to hear from an expert like yourself about the odds of winning or losing for both defenders and attackers given the different factors at play from what was proven throught history. Thank you again sir.
Our 11-74 Combat Water Survival exercise was being pushed blindfolded, wearing web gear and carrying a rifle, off the high dive board at a Benning Harmony Church Area swimming pool.
Are or were you really a Ranger? Apart from that question, this was probably the best explanation I've ever had. I was listening to this during a walk and I could imagine every concept in a form of execution. Thank you for this clarifying description. Keep up the great videos!
Sun Tzu wasn't a fan of the double envelopment as I recall. Suggesting that a dogged defensive posture can really devastate its effectiveness. As seen in the battle of Ecnomus four decades prior where in it failed horribly due to the Roman's use of tactics and equipment that function far better in close quarters and limited maneuverability than what the Carthaginians used. Their ramming tactics being far less effective when stuck in than the Roman snare and boarding approach.
