Battlefield Geometry

"The general, who wrote the Army's book on counterinsurgency, said he and his staff were 'trying to do the battlefield geometry right now' as he prepared his troop-level recommendations."
Steven R. Hurst, The Associated Press, Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007

"'… we are in the process of doing the battlefield geometry to determine the way ahead.'"
Charles M. Sennott, Boston Globe, Friday, Sept. 7, 2007

"Based on these considerations, and having worked the battlefield geometry … I have recommended a drawdown of the surge forces from Iraq."
United States Army, Monday, Sept. 10, 2007

  1. Sir: i found your site on a google search looking for this phrase “battlefield geometry” i first heard it during the Petraeus hearings today and am trying to find out what it means. got a clue? the use it has been put leads to a conclusion it is bafflegab, used to sound authoritative without actually saying anything.

  2. @bujinin – 

    Consider the post’s title, and Google “Jomini + ‘battlefield geometry.'”
