		The skills taught by XV(R) Sqn to lead a pair is only the foundation level, as once with their new squadron they are unlikely to do this as they will go back over some of the work done at the OCU but in more detail, while also learning about more complex weapons and tactics.

	Chapter IV: The XV Corps Advance
		Wade H. Haislip and the XV Corps headquarters, which had been taken from the Third Army during the Seine crossing operations, would be returned to the Third Army, and that as soon as possible some of the divisions "borrowed" by First Army during the August advance would fill out the corps.
		Luettwitz was given no time for reconnaissance and no opportunity to arrange a co-ordinated attack; he was simply instructed to attack toward Vittel, free the encircled troops of the LXVI Corps, and drive northwest into the Allied flank.
		The XV Corps mission remained the same-to furnish protection for the Army's south flank-but General Patton changed the axis of attack from east to northeast, consonant with the general shift toward the northeast by the entire Third Army.
