La Maraude
La Maraude describes the tactic employed by Napoleonic armies of scavenging for supplies instead of relying on extended lines of supply. It was Napoleon’s belief that armies should be largely self sufficient as this freed them from the constraints of supply lines and allowed them to move far more quickly than their more static enemies.
