Patton Instructs

Cultural Offering has General Patton's letter of instruction. An excerpt:

5)    Location of Command Posts:  The farther forward the Command Posts, the less time is wasted in driving to and from the front.
6)    Plans:  Plans must be simple and flexible.  They should be made by people who are going to execute them.
7)    Reconnaissance:  You can never have too much
8)    Keep Troops Informed:  Use every means available before, during and after battle.  Information is like eggs: the fresher the better.
