Alexander the great

Alexander the Great fused mobility, shock action and combined-arms manoeuvre into a decisive style of operational warfare. His campaigns against the Persian empire and beyond into Bactria and India demonstrated exceptional leadership, superb diplomatic skills, and the rapid exploitation of tactical success.

August 2026, Beach Red, Guadalcanal, I am walking the ground at Beach Red, site of the 1st Marine Division landings on 7 August 1942. Compared to many other WW2 sites on the island, Beach Red is little changed since 1942. The beach is about four kilometres east of Henderson Field and curves from the Tenaru River Delta in the west to Koli Point in the east.
