    Default From Maneuver Warfare To Maneuver Welfare

    After finally reading the original Lind book on Maneuver Warfare I started a thread on it see how it would apply to the War On Terror or whatever we are calling it these days. The link to the PDF below is by a Retired USMC Colonel copied from the SWJ blog. Anyway he also adapted the Maneuver Warfare Theory to the Operation in Haiti he is calling it Maneuver Welfare. Fantastic article and it does seem that Maneuver Warfare can be applied to all situations including Maneuver Welfare. Really short good article with Recon Pull (aka Surfaces and Gaps) just some really good stuff........If you can't tell I liked it....alot It is short and written in English and based some real life experiences.

    One slight beef.......yes you can drop food and water by pallets and not kill alot of people........now it is true Marines may not be able to but the Homeboys (aka 82ND Airborne) sure can!
