'Execute' is time from receipt of orders through battle procedure to executing the plan. That is quite slow but:
a) We never claimed to be good at manoeuvre warfare (unlike COIN )
b) Rather then rely on a finely honed HQ of men (and women) tried, trained and few, we have dumbed down our officer corps and added layers of process and bureacracy instead - all of which adds time and diminshes tempo. We call it progress
