Without it all previous work is wasted.
Campaigns and battles are not conducted for the sake of kill- ing and wounding a certain number of the enemy ; it is not even a question whether the enemy shall be made to suffer more casualties than yourself. The object of every act of war is to disorganize the enemy and make him believe himself UNGENEROUS IN CRITICISM. 497 incapable of continuing the contest. The organization and logistics of an army should tend to bring upon the field of battle a bette...r body of troops than, or one superior in numbers to, the enemy ; strategy has to do with giving these troops such a direction as shall place the enemy at a disadvantage ; the object of tactics is so to utilize the accidents of the battle- ground and other advantages as to demoralize the enemy, drive him from the field, and so to break up his organized army by pursuit that he cannot again assemble during the campaign. Only thus can successful peace be won.
