dc.description	The seam between the zones of influence of adjacent formations is one of the weakest parts of any defence. Its weakness results from the situation of divided command which almost inevitably exists there. Thus any attack onto the joint and/or along the seam will cause and enjoy a far greater measure of command and control confusion among the defenders - not least of the order, counter-order variety - than would one elsewhere.
