The Maneuver and the Umpire

Abstract

The word maneuver is comparatively a recent addition to our military vocabulary, and when one asks for its meaning he usually receives a wild and indefinite answer. Time and money will be saved, and our objects promoted, by an early decision as to the scope, policy, limitation object of maneuvers. Unless we do this we may find ourselves teaching lessons which we do not wish to teach and inoculating our soldiers with ideas which we would a prefer they should not carry into battle.
