What they need to do is to have some kind of *proper* planning exercises (no - Planning for a quick attack is not proper planning. It is in most cases a no-brainer IE Terrain...blah blah blah H-hour - blah blah blah. Ammo - SOP).
The days of officers in their freshly starched uniform buttons gleaming standing on a trench or riding on a horse waving his shiny sword around whilst shouting "Tally- Ho - Charge!" are largely over. The selection process needs to reflect that.
I pray those first batch cadets end up in admin roles and not in a position to lead men to combat.
