51. So you're saying taking away 4 scouts
i.e. two scout teams will not seriously degrade a BATTALION's ability to do its job? Yeah actually it would hurt a lot, Those 2 blackhwaks represented more than 50% of the Battalion's scouts. 4 Blackhawks would be all their scouts so 4 X 10= 40 give or take a few. You wanted to strip away at least 10% of their combat power...............That is insane........and very honest.....
