  • Yes

  • They were partially suited

  • They were confused

Answer

The medical officers did not find Wingate's methods suited to a tropical environment. Wingate's methods were based on his experience in the First World War, where he had seen the benefits of small, highly mobile units. However, in the tropics, these units were more vulnerable to disease and exhaustion. The medical officers also felt that Wingate's methods were too aggressive and would lead to unnecessary casualties.
