TACTICO-LOGISTIC INEQUALITY
The Tactico-Logistic Inequality is the algebraic expression of the relative advantages and disadvantages in Time and in Numbers appertaining to opposing Strategetic Entireties.
Such advantages and disadvantages are denoted by the terms, viz.:
| +T. | Signifies the absolute advantage in Time, i.e., the ability of an army, a grand column, a wing or a corps d’armee to move, while the opposing force must remain stationary. |
| -T. | Signifies the absolute disadvantage in Time, i.e., the obligation of an army, a grand column, a wing, or a corps d’armee to remain stationary, while the opposing force is in motion. |
| +N. | Signifies the absolute advantage in Numbers, i.e., the larger number of corps d’armee. |
| -N. | Signifies the absolute disadvantage in Numbers, i.e., the smaller number of corps d’armee. |
| =N. | Signifies the equality in Numbers, i.e., the same number of corps d’armee. |
There are six forms of the Tactico-Logistic Inequality, viz.:
| 1. | +T+N |
| -T-N | |
| 2. | +T=N |
| -T=N | |
| 3. | +T-N |
| -T+N | |
| 4. | -T+N |
| +T-N | |
| 5. | -T=N |
| +T=N | |
| 6. | -T-N |
| +T+N |
INITIAL STRATEGETIC EQUATION
The Initial Strategetic Equation is made up of those terms which compose the Strategic Syllogism and the Tactico-Logistic Inequality, viz.:
| (+A+S+M) + (+T+N) - (-A-S-M) + (-T-N) = the Normal Motif and Direction of Effort. |
