And the size of the units and the distances to be traversed the fact that the problem is strategical and not tactical is the essence of the whole thing. You form your 6,000 men into column; in a few hours' delay they go off in the direction E, and when they get to the place where they are wanted, the column can spread out quickly again on the front CD, and soon begin to take part in the action.
