I'm certain, like their Roman predecessors, that the Templars were highly trained and disciplined...something to be said about regimentation, especially back in those days.
This image is from a series on mu blog about what combat was like in the Era of the Crusades, The blog Templar Militaris goes into fortification, terrain analysis, operational and strategic planning. This is part of a new part on offensive operations, http://templarmilitaris.blogspot.com/
