"Military tactics encompasses the art of organizing and employing fighting forces on or near the battlefield."
This involves learning about the principles and practices behind the operational and tactical planning of military campaigns.
"They involve the application of four battlefield functions which are closely related – kinetic or firepower, mobility, protection or security, and shock action."
"Tactics are a separate function from command and control and logistics."
"In contemporary military science, tactics are the lowest of three levels of warfighting, the higher levels being the strategic and operational levels."
"Throughout history, there has been a shifting balance between the four tactical functions, generally based on the application of military technology."
"...usually accompanied by the dominance of an associated fighting arm deployed on the battlefield, such as infantry, artillery, cavalry or tanks."
"Kinetic or firepower" involves the application of force and firepower to achieve objectives on the battlefield.
Mobility refers to the ability to maneuver forces on or near the battlefield effectively.
Protection or security aims to safeguard forces from enemy threats and maintain their operational capability.
Shock action involves implementing sudden and overwhelming force to disrupt the enemy's operations or morale.
