TACTICO-LOGISTIC INEQUALITY

The Tactico-Logistic Inequality is the algebraic expression of the

relative advantages and disadvantages in Time and in Numbers appertaining

to opposing Strategetic Entireties.

Such advantages and disadvantages are denoted by the terms, viz.:

+T. Signifies the absolute advantage in Time, _i.e._, the ability of

an army, a grand column, a wing or a corps d’armee to move, while the

opposing force must remain stationary.

-T. Signifies the absolute disadvantage in Time, _i.e._, the obligation

of an army, a grand column, a wing, or a corps d’armee to remain

stationary, while the opposing force is in motion.

+N. Signifies the absolute advantage in Numbers, _i.e._, the larger

number of corps d’armee.

-N. Signifies the absolute disadvantage in Numbers, _i.e._, the smaller

number of corps d’armee.

=N. Signifies the equality in Numbers, _i.e._, the same number of corps

d’armee.

There are six forms of the Tactico-Logistic Inequality, viz.:

1. +T+N

------

-T-N

2. +T=N

------

-T=N

3. +T-N

------

-T+N

4. -T+N

------

+T-N

5. -T=N

------

+T=N

6. -T-N

------

+T+N
