. In order to WIN a BATTLE you must -
1 Seize the initiative
2 Control the tempo of the engagement
3 Hold the high ground or strong point
Demonstrations as a matter of being scheduled with a known time and place immediately compromise the first two rules.
DC - which is flooded with the swamp people and merely ARRIVING ARMED is a felony is distinctly LOW/ground. Add to that Sun Tzu’s rule Of never fighting more than a couple days march from your own base and you start to understand your line of operation and line of support are non existent there as you are likely VERY far from home. Who will bring you ammo and supplies, medical? Oh yeah - nobody will cause you’re surrounded.
IF you can’t EFFECTIVELY transition from DEMO to USE then it’s a bad place to fight from, right? So don’t go and get in a fight there. Demo missions are done in the day, close proximity, high visibility.
Whereas...
USE missions are done AT NIGHT, distant proximity as possible and as INVISIBLE as possible.
See how assembling your forces on enemy ground in broad daylight where you can get shot or arrested JUST for being armed doesn’t transition into an AMBUSH very well, DOES IT?
If you mean to USE force that would be really dumb to do in DC as that is the intervention point where your sacrifice will have the LEAST effect size.
