there is something called the 5 Paragraph field order. Basically what you tell people what to do. The most important is Paragraph 2. That is a simple statement where you tell people what must be accomplished. For example: "The Mission of Company A is to seize Hill 235 by 0600 hours." The 5 Paragraph Field is designed so that if all of the orders are lost, Paragraph 2 would tell you what to do. Simple, really.
Chump as CINC has failed completely at Paragraph 2. What is the mission? Stop missiles, stop nukes, regime change, protect oil investors, give Barron a leg up on oil futures. Who knows.
My guess is the ACTUAL Paragraph 2 of the order from Chump is: "The mission of United States Armed Forces is sacrifice enough soldiers so that the Epstein Files are submerged for the next 3 years.
But I'm just an Army Ranger cynic.
