The campaign

Tactical success in battle does not guarantee victory in war. What ultimately matters in war is strategic success: achieving political goals and protecting national interests. But how is that accomplished? The US Marines explain in this book how a campaign works. 

“Campaining” is the doctrine manual 1–2 of the US Marines. We are publishing this groundbreaking text for the first time in German.

• What is a campaign? 
• How do strategy and tactics work together? 
• What goals are pursued?  
• How do the employed forces work together? 

The operational level of every war connects tactics and strategy. It is the discipline of designing, focusing, and utilizing a variety of tactical measures to achieve a strategic objective. The campaign is the military operation that serves as the means to achieve the set goals. This is also illustrated and well explained in the book with historical examples.
