Over 4500 years ago, while Northern Europeans groveled in caves, the inhabitants of the Indus Valley enjoyed public baths and flowing sewers.  Having fallen behind the West technologically in modern times, Eastern peoples are thought to be behind in every other aspect of human endeavor.  Yet, how have their armies managed to continue to project so much military power?*
*
The answer is simple.  Only through maneuver can they maximize the effect of their low-tech weapons.  This lack of resources has spawned excellent infantry skills.  Eastern soldiers have long-trained to have great personal initiative and use decentralized techniques to quickly adapt their tactics for success.*
