Abstract [en]

This thesis examines the implementation of maneuver warfare within Swedish war planning in 1967, focusing on the influence of political directives and the adoption of the German Maneuver School principles. Utilizing a qualitative content analysis of extensive archival materials and historical literature, the study highlights how political control shaped operational art and tactics, particularly through the directives issued by General Viking Tamm. The research reveals that political factors had a more profound impact on maneuver warfare implementation than previously documented, overshadowing other influences such as geography and military logic. Furthermore, the thesis discusses the internal conflicts within the Swedish Armed Forces that hindered the adoption of a more maneuver-oriented defense strategy, suggesting a complex interplay between political will and military practice. This work contributes to the broader understanding of military strategy adaptation under political constraints, offering a new perspective on the operational and tactical levels of defense planning.
