Good thing for that then. Are the results of the manuevers taught in some of the courses in the Army War Colleges, West Point, ROTC, etc? Seems like that event had a great impact on the US Army's prosecution of the war, and as you mentioned, in weapons, tactics and material developement. WW2 would have turned out a bit different, at least concening our contribution without those manuevers.
