BULLETS! - Stray Leaders

BULLETS!
-- quick and dirty words of wisdom collected over the years --

Leaders need to blend into formations, or else they get shot. Don't roam around in a lone tank or Bradley on the battlefield. Find a platoon and get in it.

  1. A long time ago I wrote a paper on convoy security (before it became really fashionable).

    It turned out that the then-effective doctrines preferred a convoy with markings for vehicles functions - including a special marking for the convoy leader.

    My paper opposed this.
    Tell-tale antenna sets are a problem in this regard too.

    I remember one unit deploying to NTC that bolted 3 antennas to every HMMWV. They had to carry spares anyway, and they figured if they just mounted them, it would be harder to tell the company commanders from the cooks. Frustrated the hell out of the OPFOR
