Maneuver warfare

Military strategy focused on movement

Maneuver warfare (American English), manoeuvre warfare (Commonwealth English), or manoeuver warfare (less common; North American English), is a military strategy which emphasizes movement, initiative and surprise to achieve a position of advantage. Maneuver seeks to inflict losses indirectly by envelopment, encirclement and disruption, while minimizing the need to engage in frontal combat. In contrast to attrition warfare where strength tends to be applied against strength, maneuver warfare attempts to apply strength against weakness in order to accomplish the mission.
