Yeah sure, they do, ofc. Hell, the military has literally vehicles that become bridges in case someone else has blown up a bridge.
My point is that I often found in the military that things are ultimately done because they make sense. (And I don't want a bunch of people here complaining about making their beds, discipline, cleanliness and uniformity does have a purpose.)
I just think these hooks seem be really close to each other and I only found articles talking about charge "pits", but someone did link a Finnish thing where they said "panoskoukku" so could very well be and I'm not arguing against it anymore.
