whilst this could be bad for morale, mightn't it actually be good for
coordination? if 1st company is fighting some way from 3rd company, and
you need to redeploy 3rd company, wouldn't it help if 1st company didn't
know where 3rd company were supposed to be and so wouldn't be surprised
when they found they weren' there?
