ABOUT THE BOOK 

Maneuver warfare, often controversial and requiring operational and tactical innovation, poses perhaps the most important doctrinal questions currently facing the conventional military forces of the U.S. Its purpose is to defeat the enemy by disrupting the opponent's ability to react, rather than by physical destruction of forces. This book develops and explains the theory of maneuver warfare and offers specific tactical, operational, and organizational recommendations for improving ground combat forces. The authors translate concepts?too often vaguely stated by manuever warfare advocates?into concrete doctrine. Although the book uses the Marine Corps as a model, the concepts, tactics, and doctrine discussed apply to any ground combat force.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Mr. William S. Lind, a military affairs advisor to Senator Gary Hart and president of the Military Reform Institute, is a recognized, vocal, and prolific critic of the doctrine, force structure, and professional education methodologies of the uniformed Services. Although Lind’s targets for reform have included the Air Force, Army, and Navy, his most recent caustic salvo, a biting Washington Post article coauthored with Jeffery Record, ruthlessly attacked the U.S. Marine Corps. Indicting the Marines generally for professional negligence and operational ineptitude, Lind directed specific censure to an issue near and dear to his heart: the Corps’ failure to institutionally adopt his particular brand of maneuver warfare.
