6. The Military
|
|
| Article 40- Discipline | ||
| 40.1 | Discipline | |
| The operation of the military, while similar to other organisation structures is unique on one point of command- that dissention cannot be permitted and discipline must be emphatically enforced. | ||
| This is especially the case when an army is in the field during war. | ||
| 40.2 | Punishment | |
| The active tools for engaging an army to precise and absolute discipline is reward and discipline. The balance between these two is the art of Generalship. | ||
| If a General punishes the troops before their loyalty is formed, they will be disobedient. If they are disobedient, they will be difficult to use. | ||
| However, if a General does not punish the troops after their loyalty is formed, they cannot be used. |
||
| Therefore, if a General commands their troops by benevolence, and unifies them by discipline, this shall strenthen their ability to maneuvre and be precise in battle. |
||
| 40.3 | Consistency | |
| If commands are consistently enforced when training men, they will be obedient. If commands are not consistently enforced when training men, they will be disobedient. | ||
| If commands are consistently executed, they are in accord with the general. |
