Infantry Tactics [Wednesday Second Period]
"One of the huge advantages of a regular unit it its diversity. The number of different skills that can be brought to bear on a situation is extremely high. That's why we've been doing exercises centered around demonstrating different approaches. But sometimes this turns out to be a huge weakness. Not only does it turn out that sometimes no one has a skill you need, but more often it turns out that not enough people have it. If you have one person on your team who is very sneaky, then inevitably, the mission requires two of them."
"In a fully trained regular unit, further training is used primarily to maintain polish. You don't want your people forgetting what they know, or getting sloppy, but your primary purpose is no longer to teach them skills they don't have. People in irregular units must maintain their current skillsets, of course, but because the skills they'll need are unpredictable, they also have to spend a lot of time learning new things." Max looked over his students with a grin. "Furthermore, because the skills an irregular unit uses are so unusual, most of the teaching has to be done by people in the unit."
"We've already seen how each of you have different skillsets. Today we're going to expand on that. Each of you will select a single skill to teach everyone else. It can be anything you know that you think the others don't. Don't worry about making it something you think is helpful in a fight, remember that irregular missions are very different, and some don't involve any fighting at all. So if you want to teach everyone about cooking, that's just fine."
He wasn't slowing down the run, of course. "If you need to stop running in order to teach, that's fine." But his tone implied that continuing to run would earn some bonus points.
