Maneuver Warfare

by William S. Lind

In response to LtGen Robert B. Neller’s letter commenting on “The Attritionist Letters” (MCG, Junll), let me quote MajGen Mike Myatt, who commanded 1st MarDiv during Operation DESERT STORM, “Maneuver warfare is not centralized decisionmaking and decentralized execution. It is centralized vision and decentralized decisionmaking.”
