  • Is this the same as the British technique of 'pepperpotting'? Buckshot06 05:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Please see automated peer review suggestions here. Thanks, APR t 23:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • How about a history of the evolution of this technique, and a comparison with what came before? (Presumably linear tactics? Or something else?) Is this any different than just providing covering fire for an advance? — RJH (talk) 18:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, this obviously still needs massive work. Some major areas to focus on:

  • References and inline citations need to be provided.
  • More on the history and context. When and how was this tactic developed? How is it taught? How does it relate to other infantry tactics? How does it relate to the idea of suppressive fire in general? Where has it been used? What is its effectiveness in combat? And so forth.
  • Generally, any additional detail that can be added would be helpful, at this point. Kirill Lokshin 06:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Needs proper wikification as well. And the normal headers, 'see also', 'references', 'further reading', 'external links'. — Wackymacs 11:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
