Battlefield Geometry

"The general, who wrote the Army's book on counterinsurgency, said he and his staff were 'trying to do the battlefield geometry right now' as he prepared his troop-level recommendations."
-- Steven R. Hurst, The Associated Press, Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007

"'... we are in the process of doing the battlefield geometry to determine the way ahead.'"
-- Charles M. Sennott, Boston Globe, Friday, Sept. 7, 2007

"Based on these considerations, and having worked the battlefield geometry ... I have recommended a drawdown of the surge forces from Iraq."
-- United States Army, Monday, Sept. 10, 2007

Sir: i found your site on a google search looking for this phrase "battlefield geometry" i first heard it during the Petraeus hearings today and am trying to find out what it means. got a clue? the use it has been put leads to a conclusion it is bafflegab, used to sound authoritative without actually saying anything.

Consider the post's title, and Google "Jomini + 'battlefield geometry.'"
