ASSEMBLY OF FORCES IN SPACE.
THE best Strategy is ALWAYS TO BE VERY STRONG, first generally then at the decisive point.

Therefore, apart from the energy which creates the Army, a work which is not always done by the General, there is no more imperative and no simpler law for Strategy than to KEEP THE FORCES CONCENTRATED .-- No portion is to be separated from the main body unless called away by some urgent necessity.

On this maxim we stand firm, and look upon it as a guide to be depended upon.

What are the reasonable grounds on which a detachment of forces may be made we shall learn by degrees.
