The bit that resonates with me from the saber vs. stealth work is the part about every fight being a movement to contact.

With the exception of the attack across the berm (and even that suffered from poor targeting and templating) into the Safwan Hill region, I felt I had very little information to work with, and even as our LAV-25s led the 1st Marine Division, we spent more time almost stumbling into contact than confirming the presence of enemy forces. Confirmation came at times through leading with our chin.

Follow-on forces benefited to some degree, but the snoop-and-poop techniques did not support the tempo that was required by CFLCC, and we spent more time dashing forward than was probably doctrinally prudent.
