      Considering they canonically were trained in the history ancient Greek warfare (albeit a history clearly taken from Victor Davis Hansen's 40-year-outdated and also straight up wrong to begin with model of "The Western Way of War"), it's more likely they were given the old Roman and Byzantine military manuals (which are *far more extensive* than "The Art of War") to read. Asclepiodotus, Vegetius, and the Strategikon of Maurice were the real staple of ancient, medieval, and renaissance military thought. Vegetius and the Strategikon were required reading for British and American officers into the 1930s.
