Quick Summary

Offensive tactics are the art and science of fighting battles, focusing on the approach to combat, troop disposition, and the use of various arms for attack or defense. An offensive involves setting upon an enemy with force or violence, characterized by attacks, raids, assaults, and aggressions. The goal is to achieve victory through a combination of force and guile, concentrating resources on objectives while also employing dispersion, hiding, and feints. This can involve outflanking or encircling the enemy, or using coordinated attacks to create dilemmas for the opponent. In air warfare, strategic offensives aim to break an enemy's will to resist by attacking their infrastructure and war-making capacity, not just their military forces.12345
