World War I
infiltration tactics
•Essence
•Cloud/distort
signature and improve mobility to avoid fire yet focus
effort to penetrate, shatter, envelop, and mop-up disconnected
or isolated debris of adversary system.
•Intent
•Exploit tactical dispersion in a focused way to gain
tactical success and expand it into a grand tactical success.
•Implication
•Small units exploiting tactical dispersion in a focused
way—rather than large formations abiding by the “Principle of
Concentration”—penetrate adversary to generate many non-cooperative
(or isolated) centers of gravity as basis to magnify friction,
paralyze effort, and bring about adversary collapse.
