The author's intention in writing "On Tactics" was to create a resource that he himself would have found valuable as a young infantryman. Challenging centuries-old conventions regarding the principles of war, tactics, and the roles of strategy, doctrine, experiential learning, and military history, Friedman's work offers a striking synthesis of thinking on tactics as well as strategy.
Part One of the book establishes a tactical system intended to replace the traditional Principles of War checklist. First, the contextual role of tactics concerning strategy and war will be established, drawing on major strategic theories to illuminate the role of tactics. This section will be structured around the Physical, Mental, and Moral planes of battlefield interaction, as used by theorists such as J.F.C. Fuller and John Boyd. Each plane will be examined in turn, with many of the classic Principles of War discussed alongside some new ones. It will present standard methods that tacticians can use to gain an advantage on the battlefield, illustrated by historical examples of each concept. These "tactical tenets" include maneuver, mass, firepower, tempo, surprise, deception, confusion, shock, and the role of the moral aspects of combat. Finally, Part One will explore the role of tactical victory in contributing to a broader strategy.
Part One is deliberately concise, intended to be both compelling and easily mastered by junior non-commissioned officers and company-grade officers, while still offering depth to interest both specialist and non-specialist academics. It is a book designed for practical use, not just for bookshelves, but also for ruck sacks and cargo pockets.
Part Two builds on Part One by exploring concepts with which the tactician must be familiar, such as the culminating point of victory, mission tactics and decentralized command and control, offensive and defensive operations, and the initiative.
Part Three will conclude the book by examining the implications of the presented tactical systems for a variety of other issues in strategic studies.
