So I have this friend who just got married and is ready to start showing the seeds of tomorrows Christian soldiers. He just gave me a very detailed after action report from his baptism of fire. He needs advice.
The operational situation is that he has to reach the objective under a very limited timeframe. The tactical situation is that he's finding it tough going while trying to infiltrate hostile terrain (I'm just trying to keep this from being R-rated, sorry), anyway, he figures the best tactic is to "prepare the battlefield". The idea being that with enough bombardment from the, er , secondary weapon, the targets will pop up out of hiding, making them easier to engage.
So far the target has remained under cover. He's tried probing reconnacence with his secondary weapon, but it worried of collateral damage (uh, I'm going to have to be explicit - he's afraid the his teeth are hurting her).
Now, other men have told him that with a sustained bombardment of sufficient intensity, remembering to keep up diversionary operations at various targets of opportunity, and with sufficient momentum with enemy front will crack, resulting in an opening in the enemy front which can then be exploited to the hilt. However, currently when he tries to penetrate the enemy front, he can capture some ground initially, but there are again complaints of collateral damage (I'm going to be explicit - he thinks the friendly fire is hitting the USS Cervix). And while he's flattered by complaints that he's armed with a primary weapon of disproportionate force
, OPFOR obviously has tactical experience with weaponry of equal and even superior caliber and range.
Now, I've told him for a greenhorn his combat efficiency is commendable, and that with a few more battles he will be a ruthless veteran. He still thinks though, that maybe he's attacking along the wrong front, and maybe defenses will be softer if he tries a stretgic redeployment to focus on her allies, which would result in the more open terrain of MOUT (Military Operations In Urban Terrain).
Uh, but that's a whole different story. Please help me help him.
