2 min read

Offensive maneuvers in military operations include fundamental forms like the frontal attack,

envelopment, turning movement, penetration, and infiltration.


Other offensive tactics can involve using tactics such as ambushes, flanking maneuvers,

pincer movements, airborne operations, and strategies like Blitzkrieg to achieve decisive

results against an enemy.

Basic Forms of Maneuver



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Envelopment

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Attacking the enemy's flanks to destroy the enemy in the area of operations.


- Vertical Envelopment: Attacking by means of airmobile or airborne forces, often used to

seize key terrain.





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Turning Movement

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A tactical maneuver where forces avoid the main enemy strength and attack the

enemy's rear, disrupting enemy operations.


- Flanking Maneuver: A tactic to attack the side or rear of the enemy.


- Pincer Movement: A military maneuver where two or more forces converge on an enemy's flanks

and rear simultaneously.





------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Frontal Attack

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A direct assault on the enemy's front, often used to fix the enemy.



- Blitzkrieg: A rapid, shock-based attack using combined arms, often characterized by swift,

deep, and mechanized advances.



- Airborne Attacks:


- High yo-yo: made by an attacking aircraft, is designed to cut off an enemy

aircraft during a turn.


- Barrel roll: because of the sharper turn, the attacking aircraft is now in

a position to cut off the defending aircraft during its turn and take a shot.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Penetration

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Breaching the enemy's lines by attacking them at their strongest point and then

exploiting the breached position.



- Charge: A rapid, aggressive advance, often associated with historical cavalry or infantry

tactics.




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Infiltration

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Moving through or around the enemy's defenses to attack from an unexpected

direction.



- Trench Raiding: Small, localized raids for intelligence, sabotage, or to wear down the

enemy.


- Ambush: Concealment - attackers hide in a secret location. Waiting - lie in wait

for their targets to arrive. Surprise Attack - launch a sudden attack from their hidden

position.
