Why this formula appears here
The structural consequence is a hard radius rather than a gradual decline. Consider a schematic model, offered to expose an assumption rather than to reproduce any historical campaign. A transport team departs a base carrying load , consumes f units of that same load per day for its own animals, and covers v units of distance per day. To reach a force at radius r and return, it is on the road for 2r/v days, so the load it can actually hand over is
