RULE
1. That army whose strategic front of operations is established upon the Strategetic Center has the relative advantage in Mobility.
2. To utilize the advantage in Mobility extend the Strategic Front in the direction of the objective plane.
3. To neutralize the relative disadvantage in Mobility eliminate that adverse Corps d’armee which tactically expresses such adverse advantage; or so post the Prime Strategetic Point as to vitiate the adverse Strategic front.
Advantage in Mobility is divided into two classes, viz.:
- I. General Advantage in Mobility.
- II. Special Advantage in Mobility.
A General Advantage in Mobility consists in the ability to act simultaneously against two or more vital points by means of interior logistic radii due to position between:—
- 1. The adverse army and its Base of Operations.
- 2. Two or more adverse Grand Columns.
- 3. The wings of a hostile Grand Column.
- 4. Two or more isolated adverse Corps d’armee.
Such position upon interior lines of movement is secured by occupying either of the Prime Offensive Origins, i.e.:
- 1. Strategic Center vs. Adverse Formation in Mass.
- 2. Logistic Center vs. Adverse Formation by Grand Columns.
- 3. Tactical Center vs. Adverse Formation by Wings.
- 4. Logistic Triune vs. Adverse Formation by Corps.
Special Advantage in Mobility consists in the ability of a corps d’armee to traverse greater or equal distances in lesser times than opposing corps.
