Nevertheless, th...I understand what you are saying. Nevertheless, the phrasing "Befehlstaktik, the German equivalent to Command Push..." is misleading in my eyes. I think it would be necessary, for the sake of clarification, to at least switch the "equivalent to" part with "resembles" or "is similar to".<br /><br />Then again, if it is all it takes to be an Befehlstaktik equivalent to have "previously determined orders and plan" isn't everything a Befehlstaktik equivalent? I know what you mean, but I am afraid this one line raises more question for newcomers than it solves.<br /><br />Hope it doesn't sound to harsh, just trying to challange an experienced war gamer (and service member?) in order to learn from you :-) <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />AAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383175416734776918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938481508328592684.post-49767125576151246222014-10-24T10:29:15.267-04:002014-10-24T10:29:15.267-04:00Arian, thanks for your comment.. yes I understand ...Arian, thanks for your comment.. yes I understand that Befehlstaktik and Auftragstaktik are not necessarily reconnaissance related terms... my intent was to compare German and US doctrine and these concepts are similar to Command Push (Befehlstaktik) and Recon Pull (Auftragstaktik) in intent if not specifics.<br /><br />I do agree that Auftragstaktik in particular is more complicated than I have intimated.. but I wasn't trying to define it, only compare it to something I had just discussed.Bil Hardenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779242142296640109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938481508328592684.post-63226789189345643122014-10-24T09:45:33.845-04:002014-10-24T09:45:33.845-04:00Hey Bil,
I love your Blog! great Job.
I am just ...Hey Bil,<br /><br />I love your Blog! great Job.<br /><br />I am just a little confused by the "Command Push/Befehlstaktik" comparison. Then again, maybe I am just misunderstanding things.<br /><br />Befehlstaktik is not a way of conducting Recon, nor does it mean that its counter-part (Führen mit Auftrag, or sometimes "Auftragstaktik") does not use predetermined AoAs. It just means that, whatever the mission is, the higher echolon tells you how to execute the mission. Führen mit Auftrag means, higher echolon gives you assets, time, and a mission. The execution is up to you. <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />AAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383175416734776918noreply@blogger.com
