Maneuver or Fires in Cyberspace? It Depends

Abstract

Analogies and metaphors serve the human mind in making sense of what is unknown through association with what is known, but there comes a point where they can be distracting. Such is the case with maneuver in cyberspace when it is moved from the echelons of reality to the tactical ground formation and discussed hand in hand with tactical ground maneuver. When considering the principles such as maneuver and fires in cyberspace the tactical level of warfare is the point of departure at which discussing maneuver in cyberspace should be left in the cyber mission planning room and kept out of the discussion of ground operations.
