Operational Maneuver refers to a military strategy that emphasizes flexibility and adaptability in the deployment of forces. It focuses on achieving strategic objectives by outmaneuvering the enemy, often through rapid movement and the use of terrain to gain an advantage. This approach allows commanders to exploit weaknesses in the opponent's defenses and create opportunities for decisive action. The concept is closely related to maneuver warfare, which prioritizes speed and surprise over attrition. By utilizing combined arms tactics, forces can coordinate different military units—such as infantry, armor, and air support—to enhance their effectiveness in achieving operational goals.
