“The reactivation of the 56th Artillery Command will provide USAREUR-AF with significant capabilities in multi-domain operations.”

...

It will further enable the synchronization of joint and multinational fires and effects, and employment of future long range surface to surface fires across the USAREUR-AF area of responsibility.”

... of future long range surface to surface fires across the USAREUR-AF area ... - this ability is only needed in the event of a war in Europe, or am I seeing this wrong?

A quotation by Tuchman, Barbara

Folly is a child of power. We all know, from unending repetitions of Lord Acton’s dictum, that power corrupts. We are less less aware that it breeds folly: that the power to command frequently causes failure to think: that the responsibility of power often fades as its exercise augments.

Barbara W. Tuchman (1912-1989) American historian and author

The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam, ch. 1 (1984)

I just discovered something quite useful. For me at least. If you want to count the words of a pdf, you can open a terminal, navigate to where your pdf is, and type:

pdftotext myfile.pdf - | wc -w

And you get the number of words.

...provided you are on a unix system

That's it.
