Hey Clay, I've been honing a flank maneuver that could flip a whole engagement. Ever thought about tightening the timing and tightening the discipline on the flanks? I can share some details.

First, line up the front company to hold the enemy’s line while you send the flank team in a tight column. Keep the column at a 30‑degree angle so you avoid the enemy’s fire. Advance to the first picket line at a controlled pace, pause only for a single, quick shout of “Move.” Once the column reaches the second line, split into two smaller units—one moves forward, the other stays back to cover the rear. Keep the pace strict; any hesitation will give the enemy a chance to adjust. When the flanks hit the enemy’s side, they should strike in a single wave, hitting the rear of the front line. Then, while the enemy is re‑orienting, the front company launches a counter‑attack to lock the enemy in place. No room for error, so rehearse the timing until the moves feel automatic.

I understand. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to talk about or need help with.

Let’s tighten our reconnaissance routine—move a patrol in a staggered line so you spot any enemy movement before they even know you’re there. Keep the watches at 15‑minute intervals, call in intel with a single phrase “Eyes on the horizon.” That’s all there is. If you keep that rhythm, you’ll never miss a beat.
