Try that one in August when you’re climbing Tiefort for “team building”! Crash Hill at noon on August is still infinitely preferable to full kit in Shugart-Gordon same time of year…
Agree that much of the modern SW is an empty prize without the power, water, and transportation that contributes to modern carrying capacity. That said, the remaining sources of power and water along with what resources remain extractable and exploitable would likely constitute the strategic objectives in the area. Whether that translates to operations and battles is another matter. If your force is in a relatively good position (water, food, at least a promise of those continuing) and seizing the directed objectives don’t correlate with continuing access to those resources you make be less than enthusiastic about jumping off to an attack. And what’s the real capacity of higher HQs to compel compliance?
