[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Not at all. Tactics are tactics, no matter the doctrine. If I ever bother to write an essay about the Hopper/Steamrunner development I would include a bit where allot of old lessons had to be re-learned as up until that point, Starfleet had never been involved in large scale ground warfare in it's 200 year history. Until then it had all been space based engagements, boardings and the odd small scale skirmish. With the Cardassians they were taking colonies and digging in, so Starfleet was forced to dig them out again when the usual methods proved ineffectual. This is essentially why I don't believe in a Federation standing army, or for that matter fandom's favourite "Starfleet Marines". They're required so infrequently (only twice in 200 years as far as we know) that it's more likely a case of reservists and local planet based security/police being called up only as needed. The Federation is so big and has so many people that allot of resources can be diverted in wartime without detrimentally weakening the whole. [/QB][/QUOTE]
