The lost Platoon

Reading through these three chapters, it was apparent that The Principle Maneuver was evident. Very often when LT. General Moore was talking about a battle they were in or a mission they were on, he emphasized their techniques/movements they used to succeed. Along with their different ways of approaching the enemy, Moore and the other leaders were very good at talking to one another about the location of the NVA. With their knowledge they gained through one another, they were very good at deciding the best way to approach the enemy with an advantage.

I truly believe that Maneuver was a very important principle to enforce at all times in this story. In such a dangerous area and enemy with a high morale, if Moore and his men had not applied this principle, outcomes would have been a lot different. Maneuver is highly important for any one because I believe that it sets the out come of a mission/battle. Which ever side has the advantage has that better chance of winning instead of working extra hard to get out of a disadvantage.
