"Captain Penguin the crab thing didn't work but we tried another idea called a "fork ram" that got the job done. Shall I equip the rest of our tanks with it? And a really good sergeant would anticipate his CO's approval and already have assembled the all materials, tools and work details to install them.

He might even have the tank he'd already equipped crewed and standing by in front of a piece of hedgerow so he could quickly demonstrate it's effectiveness if the boss should ask for it.
