What is strategy? FM 100-5, Operations defines strategy as "the art and science of employing the armed forces or a nation or alliance to secure policy objectives by the application or the threat of force." If maneuver warfare is a thought process that allows us to pick the essential elements of information from our environment so that we might apply our efforts in the most efficient manner, then it should plly to the strategic level as well as the tactical.
