Guest Pillar Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 How fast can a group of soldiers move when on the march? That is, without vehicles to drive in of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 In CM, or in real life? The problem wouldn't be how fast, but how long, I'd think. They carry a lot of stuff around, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pillar Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 I want real life operational march speeds, taking in to consideration carrying stuff etc. It's for the CM RPG. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rother Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 The standard now I believe is 12 miles in 3 hours for the US ifantry. Roughly 100 meters a minute if my math is right. Rother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 Pillar at a standard march, I would estimate about 2.0-2.5 miles an hour or 2.5-3k Thats just my beat guess though.

Non tac moves in a limited war setting are 3klm per hour with a ten minute break every hour ie march for 50 minutes ,rest for 10 minutes at least at the time of my discharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadayne Posted August 2, 2000 Share Posted August 2, 2000 a lot of that depends, of course, on other conditions, like terrain, weather, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
