I like it. It actually makes a lot of sense when put with how I'm writing Jet...
Which suggests that whoever the mission commander was, they were cautious and careful, probably a little too much. They didn't press the advantages they had immediately, preferring to consolidate rather than keep driving. The end result was something of a slow grueling meat grinder, splitting the rock up into sectors, moving and securing one sector at a time, consolidating their position and allowing the enemy to prepare their defences for the next assault. Jusenkyou is supposed to be hellish.... it's something that gives Jet and others nightmares and it drives Jet's tactics and style. It's left it's mark on anyone who was there.
"I don't want Jusenkyou remembered in the same breath as Arnhem! What happens if your gruppe gets cut off Jet? We lose all of you!"
"Let the Boskonians worry about cutting us off. We're not the Kammer Gruppe, this is how we work,"
"No. No... Even if you're willing to take the risk, what about the individual squads? What if they meet a Berserker, or one of their Marines?"
Things don't begin to pick up until after the outlying rocks have been secured, freeing more forces for the main assault. Some changes in the leadership also encourage a more adventurous style The plan then becomes something of a leapfrog, with the specialist forces ranging ahead taking primary objectives or going hunter-killer on the hard enemies in force, while conventional forces mop up behind and hopefully meet up with the specialists who with luck who haven't gone too far ahead or been overwhelmed in the meantime.
