Patton was also way ahead of his time in introducing cardio work outs for the troops..he instituted a novel peacetime training practice: running.

He also launched what is now called The National Training Center in the desert in California...

When there was not sufficient equipment he had officers tie stove pipes to the hoods to trucks to simulate tanks...

He was probably working more on radio control of the troops as mentioned in the top post.

Basically, Patton was 50 years ahead of his time...too bad the Army has maintained their tradition of promoting careful faggots for officers.
