But let's not stick to the image of maneuver and agility. There's a much more fundamental logic. This logic has a much more fundamental effect. Take, for example, the question of designing bases and facilities. Let's say you need a place where you repair and recondition your tanks. Now, if you apply common sense logic, the logic of peacetime, what you want is to take a facility, equip it as well as you can, staff the people as well as you can, and this is your repair facility. If you are operating a truck fleet, you have a central repair facility where you repair all your trucks. [But] if you are operating a tank fleet and you have a central repair facility, you are making a terrible mistake. What you should really have is nine or ten or fifteen of them, very dispersed, because otherwise the enemy can prevent you from fielding tanks more than once just by knocking out the one facility.

Now, what is it that drives the civilian operator to have one facility? Economies of scale, the savings of not having to have heavy equipment at each of these places. Let's say you have to have testing equipment that you only need quite rarely, but when you need it you need it, and now because you have seven different facilities, you need seven different expensive sets of testing equipment. Economies of scale, efficiency of the design of the facility. This is where common sense drives you. And what you need for war is the opposite.
