This is a stunning series (so far). I can’t help but think of Andrew Lambert’s THE BRITISH WAY OF WAR. He argues against a larger army in favor of a navalist approach (which I sympathize with). However: this presents an interesting counter balance, which is relevant today. The author mentions a scale that the Army would have to face in a future combat, coinciding with a need for greater professionalism and training brought about by modern weaponry. Sounds familiar.

Great read as the British army attempts to modify tactics based on the advances in technology.
Today’s infantry battalions continue to modernize and tweek organization to adjust and adapt to the changing battlefield.
