Dominant Maneuver: Strategic Mobility in the 21st Century.

Abstract

This study examines the Army's vision for dominant maneuver as outlined in Army Vision 2010. The thesis of the study is that the Army's vision for the year 2010 will exceed U.S. strategic mobility capability. The study examines the definition of dominant maneuver, the nature of future conflict, the strategic mobility triad, and emerging technologies. The study concludes that to achieve strategic dominant maneuver the Army must satisfy five imperatives: adopt a new view of conflict, make the force lighter, increase deployment speed, improve information management and increase deployment training.
