 AAW: Battle Angel [Gunnm] Review
Originally titled Gunnm, the US release of the animated incarnation is dubbed "Battle Angel" after VIZ's alternate title for the comics, which I refuse to use (though I admit it's not at all inappropriate).
Battle Angel was one of ADV's earliest releases, and stood out as being somewhat different than most of their early "skin and action" releases.
Although their subtitle script takes some significant liberties with the specifics of the dialogue to "read prettier" in English, the basic meaning remains unchanged and it is light on the cheesy one-liners and unnecessary profanity.

 Principles of War: A Translation from the Japanese
Because of the necessity for an uninterrupted link between the base of operations and the battle front and the sluggishness of movement, the shifting and concentration of combat power, change of direction of operations, etc., are sluggish.
Extending the battle line invites a gradual decrease in combat power (personnel, materiel) because of maintaining of logistics, holding of terrain, etc., and is an important condition making the difference between the offensive and defensive.
In other words, along with deploying first-line manpower on its own battle front and applying its own combat power, each unit is supported by artillery and aviation firepower and, if necessary, is reinforced with airborne troops and heliborne forces, and it also is directed three-dimensionally, air-defense combat power being directed against the enemy's air power.
