Corps Cdr: CO, tell me whats your plan of action and how do you wish to capture the post?
CO: Sir, its very simple - two of my Coy's will advance, one from the right flank and the other will give fire support .
Corps Cdr: How much time do you think it will take to capture the post?
CO : Sir not much , my boys are well trained and will be able to get them within 2 hrs.
Corps Cdr: Two hours? Are you joking my friend?
CO : Nope Sir, we'll take about 30 mins to reach the target. It is clearly evident for the enlargement, as the crow flies, the disance from the the FUP is hardly 900mtrs and can easily be covered in 30 mins, and rest one and half hrs for capturing the enemy post.
Corps Cdr: My friend I appreciate that you made your judgement about the distance from the enlargement. But, you forgot about the ground realities. Well if I am not wrong it will take u atleast 36 hrs to capture that post as "AT THIS ALTITUDE NOT EVEN THE CROW FLIES"!
