is true - but most often the route step is used when a VERY large distance is to
be covered. At that point you'd not want to keep at 120 step march maintained,
as it would seriously exhaust your troops. Route step is not something you would
attempt to manuver a formation with, just get them to where they need to be
without wearing them down</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>In reply to the route step vs a 120 beat
step...ground maybe covered as fast or faster depending on the unit...the
terrain available, cover and concealment and the type of mission your unit
is on. All these variables come into play as to whether or not route step
covers more or less ground than the standard 120 beat "in-step"
march.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
