Critical thinking is essential in finding quick and practical solutions to challenges. Not all times should we face problems head-on, and this may end up backfiring ( Halpern, 2013) . In the trial where I need to move 600 troopers in 12 companies about 15 miles to disintegrate coalition of 1500 warriors. The best approach is to get some route along the river since moving along the bare land, with such a large troop may cause ducts to rise that may ring the alarm in the form 1500 already present army. The 600 soldiers should not be transported all at the same time. They need to divide the group into half for easy transportation. I suggest that within the shortest time a team of generals should appear on the Western side of the terrain to distract the attention of the waiting coalition of the 1,500 waiting warriors. The divided attention will be an excellent way to allow the 600 troopers to pass through the river banks to the counter them. The soldiers, must, however, be in halves since the enemies are almost triple their numbers, the divided confrontation from both the Eastern and Western side will allow for the splitting of the 1500 Hindu warriors from jointed attack.
After reading the journal article by Colonel on Army Planning Doctrine, I have come to realize that I should have approached the solution differently. Instead of magnifying the problem by traveling from both Eastern and Western side, I need to identify the issue at hand which was the presence of 1,500 Hindu warriors. In this case, I needed to have contextualized the question, identified the capabilities of the team and structured the movement promptly (Clarks, 2007). I only needed to have found a root for the troops through the waters and traveled the 15 miles in the shortest time possible and reached over before the 1500 Hindu warriors get alert.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
