What is the author's style in Battleground by W. E. B. Griffin?

Every chapter in the book begins with a location, and the date and time listed military style, and any movement within the chapter to another location is headed in the same manner. This gives the book the feel of an actual top secret military report that the narrator is sharing with the reader. These headings, coupled with the terse wording and fast pace of the book contributes to a constant sense of urgency and vitality to the chapters. The author deploys a constant use of each military person's rank in the story, even in reporting a long conversation where the speakers' ranks are identified early on. The author does not want the reader to be distracted by a subplot when the main emphasis of this novel concerns military battlegrounds.
