This is you moving the goalposts You argued a brigade would take several days to land the fighting echelon, and longer for their supplies, and couldn't land horses; I've now given an example of when the British landed an entire corps over a beach in a day and you're dismissing it And for the record, Bermuda and Halifax exist
- If the Jock columns used by the British Army in North Africa in WW2 . . .
Echelon describes the shape of a formation Mutual supporting distance refers to the size of a formation, ie, how far apart the component units are from each other The idea of an all-arms formation is to make a unit that is independent of outside support

- which was the most important military invention in antiquity?
In antiquity? Definitely echelon tactics but that would be excluding all the other great inventions: Oblique Order (Cyrus the Great) Phalanx Manipular Phalanx (Samnite Wars) Phillip V's phalanx (most powerful formation of antiquity) The Legion, pilum (Scipio Africanus) Cohort Tactics (frist resemblance of the modern battalion) (Gaius Marius)
- Lemuria, Atlantis, The Naacals, and the Illuminati - Opinions?
The alleged 13 families of the upper echelon in the Illuminati These families are alleged to be Martians do to their craving of money and power (the Martians were a male species, so they didn't have emotions but were highly intelligent, while the Lemurians Humans were a female species, so they had more emotions )

People who served with MacArthur noted that he took care to fill the second echelon of his staff (the colonels, lieutenant-colonels, and majors) with highly competent individuals MacArthur understood that this is the level at which most of the actual work gets done, and he wanted it entrusted to the best the Army had to offer
- Philip II of Macedon: Best Captain General Europe Ever Produced?
Usually he's fighting comparable sized opponents with worse armies To take the typical elite Roman general; he's usually heavily outnumbered when he defeats comparable forces (by a factor of 2-3 if we're talking the top echelon), or massively outnumbered when against inferior foes (by a factor of 5-8 usually, though a lot of variance here)
- The Merits and Demerits of Julius Caesar | Page 4 - History Forum
Zama if anything demonstrates that the master could mirror the student; from the clever use of the elephants to delay the infantry engagement to the clever mirroring of Scipio's echelon tactics Either way, Hannibal was inferior in both cavalry and infantry quality, with only somewhat of a numerical superiority and the wild card of his handful
