Military Genius: Developing the Intellect and Temperament to Ensure Combat Success

Abstract

For four days, the American tank officer had been beaten. In his role as the opposing forces or 'Red Force' commander, perhaps lt was expected that he should lose. His combat tanks were inferior in both quality and quantity to the 'Blue Force'. Time and time again, they had out-gunned and out-maneuvered his 'Red Force' .During the last day of the exercise, 'Blue Force' was directed to conduct a river crossing and seize a bridge-head. Once more the 'Red Force' commander could see that his badly outnumbered tanks would be overwhelmed. The morale of his soldiers, already low, would be shattered.
