The Maneuver Warfare Page

Whether it is called Maneuver Warfare, Asymmetric Warfare, or 4th Generation Warfare, the concepts are probably best expressed by the work of Col. John Boyd and his followers. 

 

Today Maneuver Warfare (MW) is taught in business schools as well as the military academies.  It has been used in fields as diverse as tactics for air dogfights and acting. 

 

Chet Richards is probably one of the world’s best known experts in the field of MW.  He was both a friend and a student of John Boyd.   His personal website, Belisarius, includes special pages for business, warfare, and information about Boyd
