Midway through the thread there’s a point about how having GLOC’s parallel to the front is bad.

Great find BC! I have to quote this from it because it is so bang on to the situation in Kharkiv ATM

Denain is interesting because it shows the importance of the operational level of war. Unseating an enemy position by rendering its position untenable is far more efficient—and often far more effective—than defeating it in a large set-piece battle.

Thought you’d like it, and I definitely thought you’d appreciate the very quote you’d highlighted, because you’ve been saying much the same.  I have to admit I was surprised that the Russians just abandoned Izium until I read that thread.
