It critiques the move as a misread lesson from the South African War, noting public panic over officer casualties, the removal of rank insignia, and the dispersion of leadership amid mobilization. It argues the change hindered identification of officers and landmark combat effectiveness, citing later conflicts and contrasting with Japanese practices.
