Dwight D. EisenhowerNever send a battalion to take a hill if a regiment is available.
About This Quote
The saying suggests that you should never send a battalion to take a hill if a regiment is available. Sending out an entire battalion to take on an objective can be very risky. If the objective doesn’t require the battalion’s full force, sending it can put them in danger because they may not be strong enough for the task at hand. This is especially true when the objective is not taken seriously, or if it’s just not that important. Sending out large numbers of soldiers can sometimes work against the army because they are spread too thin.
