Battle has many uses, but only one guiding principle: the destruction of the enemy. The whole point of military science is to develop a reliable system by which to achieve victory. But what happens when we attain it? How best can we capitalize on our successes? Clausewitz offers very helpful advice in this section concerning the factors that influence the quality and usefulness of our victory. Once we've won our engagement, there's another crucial step, which is the pursuit. Unless our enemy was defeated, routed, and surrendered, there will be a need for some form of pursuit. Whether we are simply harassing our opponent and keeping them from rest, or trying to fix them for another battle, pursuit is necessary to cement our win. Thumbs joins Malark to discuss the uses of battle and utilizing our victories.
