Turenne (search for this): article 12
ut spies; to seize the letters in the mails, translate and make an abstract of their contents, in short, to answer all the inquiries of the General-in-Chief on his arrival with the whole army;--such are the duties which come within the sphere of a good General of an advanced post. Commanders-in-Chief are to be guided by their own experience or genius. Tactics, evolutions, the science of the engineer and the artillery officers, may be learned from treaties, but generalship is acquired only by experience and the study of the campaigns of all great captains. Gustavus Adolphus, Turenne, and Frederic, as also Alexander, Hannibal, and Cæsar, have all acted on the same principle. To keep your forces united, to be vulnerable at no point, to bear down with rapidity upon important points — these are the principles which insure victory. It is by the fear which the reputation of your arms inspires that you maintain the fidelity of your allies and the obedience of conquered nations

Military Maxises of Napoleon. Tents are injurious to health. It is much better for the soldier to bivouac, because he then sleeps with his feet to the fire, which quickly dries the ground on which he lies. A few boards or a little straw shelter him from the wind. Tents, however, are necessary for the leaders, who have to write and consult the map. They should be given, therefore, to the superior officers, who should be ordered never to lodge in a house. Tents attract the observation of the enemy's staff, and make known your numbers and the position you occupy. But of an army bivouacking in two or three lines, nothing is perceived at a distance except the smoke, which the enemy confounds with the mist of the atmosphere. He cannot count the fires. Nothing is more important in war than unity in command. When, therefore, you are carrying on hostilities against a single power only, you should have but one army, acting on one line, and led by one commander. The
