But the take away from this is you need officers who have goals and NCOs who can impliment those goals. No plan survives first contact, so when your plan gets ventilated the decision making officers need to be able to say "We need to get to the piggly wiggly so we can get cakes" and the NCOs need to say "The shortest route is down the I-5. We'll need to steal a Mack truck to plough through the rush out traffic". Then the officer says "Do it" and teh NCO gets the troops to work hijacking a semi-truck.
This is why warbands are the best organizing structure. You simply need a shot caller whose drinking and fucking and dancing prowess inspires immediate aww and loyalty, and a couple of war leaders who have experience as babysitters and wilderness firefighters who can organize the great mass of teenage wastoids you will collect.
