More about the book
Encirclement operations are highlighted as critical yet underutilized tactics in U.S. military history, despite advancements in technology and combat training. The study examines four historical case studies to reveal the U.S. military's overreliance on firepower and technology, which has hindered effective ground maneuvers. It argues that military doctrine has not adequately supported these operations, limiting their execution and potential impact. The analysis suggests a need for a doctrinal shift to prioritize encirclement tactics for future success on the battlefield.
