That's a lot of assets escorting it, though.  Doesn't

Easiest way to deal with AA?  Us US doctrine from
Air-Land era.  VTOLs to strip out the AA in a specific
corridor using GMS/Hs.	Then the attack aircraft have
a clear shot.

Of course, my commanders also lead from front at
company level (and I do believe in companies from a
unit cohesion standpoint).  Even my BN commanders are
issued tanks and expected to be in them--let the XO
run the TOC.  You can tell where they are--all other
tanks are in 4s, these are singles or in pairs.
