Waldron – a British officer from way back – is basically a training guide for company commanders in the making The entire piece is framed around teaching the grunt how to read the lay of the land (cover, dead space, lines of fire) and then use that info sharp and fast to win small unit fights. Waldron goes through short combat problems, or exercises example patrol screen the road to meet a whole blocking force It translates the textbook military lecture into an outdoors thinking game - a huge solve it based in the mud look around you from last night’s bayonet course From skylines to depressions his emphasis?
