OK, using the Howard and Paret translation - page 485-6 ; "The fighting forces of each belligerent- whether a single state or an alliance of states- have a certain unity and therefore certain cohesion. Where there is cohesion, the analogy of the centre of gravity can be applied."

Point being:
a.) It is a source of strength - on which the enemy's power relies
b.) It can have force applied against it.

Am I missing something?
