Gurus,
whats the general consensus on vehicle mounted patroling?
Especially when gaurding airfields and bases.
It seems the more reliant we are on technology the less we seem to rely on the basic skills of a soldier, and thereby becoming complacent.
The reason I am bringing this subject up is in many military forces vehicles and APCs seem to be the popular choice for perimeter patroling and does this lead to soldiers not observing the terrain as close as they would if on foot?
Just my thoughts.
