This is something that I intend to touch on during Prelude to Alpha; Franz writes a paper on the Marine Air Ground Task Force and how the concept can be adapted to the TSAB; the paper is savaged and rejected and Franz curses the idiots in the TSAB.

On another note... perhaps with the abandoning of conventional weapons, the TSAB also abandoned the tactics associated with those weapons? Hence why we've got great idiocy. (though I kinda like ATC's final war option better.)

...no, the fact that the Japs generally suck ass on this kind of reseach and that the JSDF doesn't buy into the whole idea of JTF doesn't count.

I think the only way the TSAB is going to ever move towards a JTF-style sctructure is if a TSAB Marine Corps were to be introduced, with all the Marine aspects: Navy ships, Marine Air, Marine Ground, etc.

But yes, primarily, the TSAB are more to police forces. Nakajima's deployment of the 108th Ground Batt makes no freakin' sense for deploying a combat unit.

Riot cops, on the other hand...
