Benefit: Gain Know(combat) or Prof(soldier) as a class skill. On a turn you declare you are using Combat Expertise if you make an attack as part of a standard action or full attack (not an AoO) with manufactured weapon then you may add +1 comp bonus to one attack/CM(attack) roll, alternatively if using a weapon from the close combat group or natural weapon then you may add +1 comp bonus to one CM(attack or defense) or AoO roll (within your natural reach). Creatures with a high BAB may choose to apply the competence bonus to a second or later attack.
clearly the existing Combat Expertise text moves to a new feat
Knowledge (combat) simply formalizes knowledge of better strategies and tactics related to martial and war efforts. *many* claim to have the skill and thus *here it is* This also gives a path to advanced tactics or explains a lack thereof.
