In Times of War
Winning a war doesn’t simply happen. Decisions and sacrifices are made. In order to emerge as the winner, here are some principles a group follows:
1. Mass Concentrate. The leader of the group must decide when and where they will attack their opponent. In this way, the group will be able to concentrate their full power on a specific group.
2. Purpose. The group must have a clear goal in mind; a goal which is worth fighting and dying for. The goal must be relevant to all the members of the group so that each and every one of them will be motivated to fight.
3. Offensive. The group must strive to strike their enemy in a way that they will be contained in one area, for easier management.
4. Surprise. The group must work on tactics, which their enemy will never think of. In this way, their enemies will be caught off guard and they will be able to defeat them easily.
5. Economy of Force. The group leader must be able to maximize man power. He must be able to make the most out of his troops.
6. Scheming. The leader of the group must be able to form tactics that would drive their enemies to unfamiliar territories; by doing this- the group would be advantageous in terms of territory.
7. Unity of Command. Every group must have one leader that everyone obeys. In this way, it will be ensured that everyone will listen only to what the leader has to say.
8. Security. The group must always be prepared for all kinds of attacks. Loopholes are not allowed.
9. Simplicity. Orders and tactics must be kept short and simple. This doesn’t only provide easier understanding but also prevents miscommunication among the group.
