I've been wondering what elements can lead to victory in battle. I think it is a combination of superior numbers, superior firepower, superior skills or tactics and superior will to win. What do you think, RP members?

I think... it is the backbone, the NCO, particularly the junior NCO in the Army. They understand their mission, the commander's intent and their task and purpose, and they get after it. I think the fact that our military powers down authority and responsibility is the difference maker for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines. SGT Christopher Churilla

Every battle study was outlined by the Principle of War: MOOSEMUSS. Usually if you could score 5 out of 9 in those principles, victory would be secured. The 10th Principle: Dumb Luck.

Why is the order reversed? The first three are useless without the last two.
