Despite advancements in military theory and technology, maneuver warfare remains a concept shrouded in misunderstanding. This persistent lack of understanding or disagreement underscores the need for a rigorous examination of what maneuver warfare really is and how it is applied in tactics.
This paper addresses the persistent challenge of understanding maneuver warfare within the military context. It aims to test the Ideal sequenced model theory presented by Peter Thunholm and Lars Henåker by examining and applying in a case study. Their theory outlines a series of steps that if followed in the given sequenced order will increase the likelihood of winning battles. The case in this study is the battle of Tolvajärvi during the Winter war 1939.
The result of the study shows a distinct explanatory power and connection between the theory and case.
