About this person
As a commander, he is placed on par with Alexander Suvorov, to whom he was a mentor. Rumyantsev used mobile divisional squares for the first time in history as opposed to linear battle orders and initiated the formation of light (jaeger) battalions in the Russian Army, which operated in a scattered order.
