Putting the T in METT-T (i.e., Terrain)

[Tukhachevskii]

Baden-Powell's, War in Practice, contains his recollections and lessons learned from the Boer War and makes for good reading (especially in terms of an army that has just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat- its a tradition -, and has had to learn the basics the hard way all over again), see esp. Chapter IV The Selection of Ground and Posistions and he also proposes an X shaped parapet position (p. 168) Reminds me of The Defence of Duffer's Drift
