--------------------
Ref: B-GL-314-008/AM-002 Chapter 6, Section 4, Para 3 The only reason for the existence of a Maintenance Platoon or Company is the recovery and repair of equipment; thus any defensive scheme which ties up a large number of technicians for long periods in non-productive duties is of direct assistance to the enemy.
