Against a Retreating Enemy

Napoleon once observed that no sight is dearer to the soldier than the knapsack of his enemy. Indeed, that sight is even dearer to the modern soldier who has air power to help him in the pursuit. The retreating army is especially vulnerable to interdiction for several reasons.

First, it has probably lost air superiority.

Second, by definition, it is in a hurry, and thus less capable of taking elementary precautions against air attack.

Third, it probably has lost much of whatever ground-based air defense it had.

Fourth, it may have lost the leadership and discipline that usually provide rational direction.
