The Theory Of Attack
Categories: ATTACK AND DEFENSEMilitary Handbooks: The Plattsburg Manual Advanced Training
Decisive results are obtained only by the offensive. Aggressiveness wins
battles. If you want to thrash a man go after him; don't wait for him to
come to you. When attacking use every available man. Have every man in
the proper place at the proper time and in a physical and moral
condition to do his utmost.
