I think we have to take care how we use strategic and tactical. The common definition of strategic mobility involves sealift or airlift over intercontinental distances ... Typical suits would have 10-20 mph running speed. Going much higher raises the question if the operator legs fit into the suit legs and how the muscles and joints cope with that. A suit can be roughly as fast as an unencumbered human. With bounding overwatch and the like, tactical speed goes down to 2-4 mph. If a suit company moves up from brigade reserve to the front, does that count as strategic mobility? I'd call it operational at best. > For example, a tank transporter doesn't also include recovery/repair > facilities beyond a winch in most cases and certainly nothing for > the crew (beyond perhaps sitting in the cab). Yes, I will dump workshops from the transport trucks.
