Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) is a unique and appropriate concept for 21st century warfare because it is a synthesis of the best of traditional realistic warfare concepts, stable maneuver warfare doctrine, and the contemporary concepts of network centric warfare (NCW). The Marine Corps EMW concept emphasizes the realities of confusion, human factors, danger, and uncertainty to craft a concept that relies on well-trained and motivated people. The NCW concept is about how the network will provide synergy and added combat power by accomplishing tasks that formerly required standing forces. EMW is about tailored forces to accomplish a mission and using maneuver to get there. NCW is about the network helping to share resources to get the right combat capability to the right place and time. EMW on the battlefield today will rely heavily on a robust and ubiquitous network, but it will not be entirely dependent on the network. The author concludes that the two concepts are compatible articulations of modern warfare. (10 refs.).
