route step is used on long road marches. I got very familiar with it on the 20k
marches we used to do. If you tried to cover that in step, you'd want to die
after the first 2 miles.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>That 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></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
