If that is all they did, does Tai Chi beat their marching?
Serious question: If your battlefield art can't win on the battlefield where exactly is it supposed to win where the battlefield art won't?

Hmm, I wonder....
Foot marches can be defined as the movement of troops and equipment mainly by foot with limited
support by vehicles. They are characterized by combat readiness, ease of control, adaptability to terrain,
slow rate of movement, and increased personnel fatigue. A successful foot march is when troops arrive at
their destination at the prescribed time and are physically able to execute their mission (Department of the
Army, 1990).

@Steve James not to get all Life of Brian on you but that is the Republic of China army, not the People's Republic of China army. The Popular People's Front of China's army is different yet again
afa marching wasnt close order drill mainly a relic of ancient warfare and rendered more or less an anachronism by the development of the gatling gun. Obviously it's still done but mainly as team building
