The Manoeuvre Warfare Fraud
Aug 2008, Vol. 153, No. 4
By William F Owen
The concept of Manoeuvre Warfare (MW) in its modern form was first advocated in the early 1980s as part of the US military conventional response to perceived Warsaw Pact superiority. It has since become widely accepted as a style of warfare and generic concept of operation. This paper will argue that the community it was intended to serve based its wide acceptance largely
on ignorance and a lack of intellectual rigour.
