Ah yes the Gladden fields is well described. CLearly tolkien did put some thought into tactics and formations used by the inhabitants of ME. I am not sure his own war experiences contribute to this type of thing. More the horror of war and its effects on participants, land, etc.

Actually I am compiling, detailed descriptions of all the battles and skirmishes from the books along with another, complete with flash maps etc. An interesting subject to be sure.
