I'm sorry that I was not clear. Patton (and Rommel) view recee as "what's in front of my binoculars." They were both essentially company level commanders with the knowledge depth to lead a division. In short, they can exploit a tactical advantage for strategic purposes. I point to Patton's swing north during the Battle of the Buldge and Rommel swing in Eygpt.
