There Are Times When The Utmost Daring

War Should Never Be Thought Of As Something Autonomous, But Always As An Instrument Of Policy.

Where Execution Is Dominant, As It Is In The Individual Events Of A War Whether Great Or Small, Then Intellectual Factors Are Reduced To A Minimum.

The First And Most Important Rule To Observe...is To Use Our Entire Forces With The Utmost Energy. The Second Rule Is To Concentrate Our Power As Much As Possible Against That Section Where The Chief Blows Are To Be Delivered And To Incur Disadvantages Elsewhere, So That Our Chances Of Success May Increase At The Decisive Point. The Third Rule Is Never To Waste Time. Finally, The Fourth Rule Is To Follow Up Our Successes With The Utmost Energy. Only Pursuit Of The Beaten Enemy Gives The Fruits Of Victory.

To Achieve Victory We Must Mass Our Forces At The Hub Of All Power & Movement. The Enemy's 'center Of Gravity'

Only Great And General Battles Can Produce Great Results
