Clausewitz's Culmination Principle As A Manoeuvre In The Figurative Sense
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Manoeuvre is still the most challenging phase of military operations. However, it has changed from the temporal-spatial coordination of physical combat power factors to a more mentally based control of, among other things, the intensity progression of armed conflicts. The targeted use of the culmination principle offers armed forces — in particular those characterised by the continental European leadership philosophy and based on the war theory findings of Carl von Clausewitz — a unique opportunity to at least partially compensate for physical inferiority through mental agility — in other words, to ´outmanoeuvre´ the enemy in a figurative sense.
