520 $a"This publication is a revision of Fleet Marine Force Manual 1-3, Tactics, of 1991 and supersedes it. Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication (MCDP) 1-3 fully retains the spirit, scope, and basic concepts of its predecessor. MCDP 1-3 further develops and refines some of those concepts; in particular, a new chapter has been added on exploiting success and finishing, and some of the original material has been reorganized and expanded ... Presuming an understanding of maneuver warfare, MCDP 1-3 applies it specifically to the tactical level of war ... This publication establishes the Marine Corps' philosophy for waging and winning battles." -- pages [ii-ii].
