A Unifying Concept for Maneuver and Strike is Emerging
Maneuver and Strike based on information, time and space, not mass.
- Purpose - Achieve a position of advantage in multiple domains:
- Decisive material advantage w/ the ability to destroy forces,
- Mental advantage w/ ability to disrupt plans and decisions
- Moral advantage w/ ability to quickly execute a just campaign within ROE and limited collateral damage.
- Method - Employ smaller, distributed, lethal joint mix of mobile, adaptive combat elements throughout the battlespace.
- Endstate - An enemy paralyzed by maneuver and strike through:
- Neutralized air defenses and anti-access strategies
- Early, effective forces, taking initiative at multiple points
- Saturates enemy’s most vital areas
- Divides the enemy into isolated pockets
